Granbury ISD Total Eclipse Plan for April 8, 2024 

The 2024 Eclipse is a total eclipse for those in its path on Monday, April 8, and Granbury is in the path of totality!

Granbury ISD is providing approved Eclipse glasses for all students and staff to witness the event during a regularly scheduled school day. Teachers have been provided solar eclipse viewing safety information to review with students, along with TEKS-aligned and cross curriculum solar eclipse lessons. All campuses are coming up with their plans for this event on April 8. Principals will have a campus watch plan to ensure security/safety for all students and staff. Contact your child’s campus with any questions.

The eclipse is set to begin at 12:12 p.m. Totality begins at 1:39 (lasting for 2 minutes and 7 seconds), Eclipse is concluded at 3 p.m.

The Granbury Chamber of Commerce and the City of Granbury indicated there may be possible delays due to traffic issues. The city expects an influx of visitors for the eclipse. Many of them will leave the area between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m., leading to substantial traffic congestion. GISD bus routes will operate on normal schedule but are prepared for traffic delays that day. Please be patient with our transportation department as they ensure the safety of getting all students home safely and as quickly as possible.
