Good Evening Wayne-Westland Families,
A solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, April 8, 2024. Michigan is in the 95% eclipse zone, meaning that certain areas of the state will witness a near-total solar eclipse commencing around 2 p.m., with peak visibility expected after 3 p.m. We want to provide you with some important information about this celestial event and how it will impact our school day.
NOTE: Wayne-Westland Community Schools will have a full school day for all students on Monday, April 8, 2024. We will incorporate educational opportunities related to the solar eclipse into our curriculum to enhance our students' understanding of this phenomenon.
