Senators, On Monday, April 8, 2024, at roughly 2:30 PM – 3:00 PM, we will experience a total solar eclipse. Totality (darkness) will last between 2 to 4 minutes. A total solar eclipse is a rare and spectacular event. The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806. The next total solar eclipse in Ohio will be in the year 2099. This is truly a once in a lifetime event. Due to the Total Solar Eclipse, Washington-Nile Local Schools will be dismissing early on April 8, 2024. • High School/Middle School will be dismissed at 11:45. • Elementary School will be dismissed at 12:45. • Extracurricular Activities/Athletic practices and home contests may begin at 5:00. • Buses traveling to extracurricular activities/athletic contests may leave at 4:30. Safety tips and information about the eclipse can be found at: https://education.ohio.gov/getattachment/Topics/Learning-in-Ohio/Science/Resources-for-Science/2024-Solar-Eclipse/solar-eclipse-safety-tips-one-pager.pdf.aspx?lang=en-US.

There was a false alarm that triggered a lock down at the high school earlier this morning. One of our safety devices was inadvertently activated. The technical issue was quickly resolved. There was not a threat on campus and students are on a regular schedule. Thank you for your understanding.
