Solar Lunar Eclipse
Dear Thacher Community,

I want to share the exciting news of what we have planned at Thacher in anticipation of the Solar Lunar Eclipse.

Milton will experience a 92.8% deep partial of the eclipse on Monday, April 8. All students will receive a pair of CE/ISO Certified Safe Shades to bring home. Visit NASA's website for more information about this historic occasion.

Starting at 2:15 p.m., the timeline of the eclipse will be:
20% at 2:30 p.m
61% at 3:00 p.m.
92.8 % at 3:30 p.m.

Since this event occurs during dismissal, we understand that some families will want to pick up their children early that day. Please contact your classroom teacher if your child will be dismissed early.
Early Pickup Schedule | Monday, April 8

12:30 - 12:45 p.m. - Toddler and Children's House
12:45 - 1:00 p.m. - LE/UE/Middle School

Siblings:
Younger students will be dismissed at the older siblings' dismissal time.

*Regular dismissal will continue for students who do not leave early.
Blue Hills is an official viewing site, and we anticipate heavy traffic that afternoon. Please plan accordingly.

After careful consideration and guidance from DESE, Soccer will take place in the Gym, and students in After School Care will remain inside.

Happy Viewing,

Deba Dunn
Head of School
