EDUCATION. The Beauce-Etchemin School Service Center (CSSBE) informs parents and adult students that its schools and centers will remain open on April 8, the day of the solar eclipse.
On this occasion, ISO 12312-2 certified sunglasses will be distributed to all students and staff members. Between now and the event, information and awareness activities are planned at school, in particular to remind people of the importance of wearing glasses during the eclipse.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to teach science in a concrete context, which is consistent with our educational mission,” says Fabien Giguère, general director of the CSSBE.
As the eclipse will occur after school, special measures will be put in place. Primary school hours will be extended until 4:30 p.m. to allow students to experience this unique event. Exceptionally, no school transportation will be offered at the end of the day. Schools will send parents all the details on programming and childcare services.
No changes are planned to the schedule for secondary school, vocational training and adult education students. School transportation will be offered as usual.
