GES has viewing glasses, thanks to a partnership with The Perot Museum!!
Our teachers and staff will provide all students with approved eyewear and the opportunity to go outside and observe the eclipse in the afternoon of April 8th. Teachers will train the students on how to use the eyewear as well as other precautions associated with this event. The eyewear is approved by the American Astronomical Society, supported by NASA.
While we are providing protective eyewear, we also ask that you have a conversation with your student before this event. No student should attempt to view the eclipse using anything other than the provided protection glasses. Regular sunglasses do not provide sufficient protection for viewing an eclipse. Please advise your student that looking at the sun without these protections can cause serious, permanent eye injury.
Thanks for working with us to ensure this is a memorable event for us all!
