On (insert date), our district will be in the path of a near-total (update this) solar eclipse. Our school will experience a 90% eclipse (update this).
We will take precautionary measures with students and staff to make this experience safe and enjoyable. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are NOT safe for looking at the sun! Students cannot look at the un-eclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through cameras (including cell phones), telescopes, binoculars, or other optical devices, with or without glasses. For more information regarding the safety certification of special viewing glasses, please visit (include updated site).
A parent/guardian signature on this sheet is required by (insert date) for students to participate in the eclipse viewing while using eclipse glasses. Students whose parents do not complete this form can participate in alternative activities or view televised coverage of the eclipse inside the school building. Parents/guardians should complete one form for each child and return it to the first basic teacher by the start of the day on (insert date).

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS PERMISSION, WAIVER, AND RELEASE FORM AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY AND A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THAT I MAY HAVE ON Behalf of myself and/or my child/ward to bring legal action or assert claim for injury or loss of any kind against the district.
