Dear Howe Parents/Guardians,

As you're likely aware, an exciting event is on the horizon - a total solar eclipse! On Monday, April 8, the skies will showcase this stunning celestial display.

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all students during this event, learning will be virtual on that day. This means no in-person classes on campus - just a day of learning and eclipse excitement from home! All virtual assignments will focus on the eclipse. Have your students check their SeeSaw (K-2nd) and Google Classrooms (3rd+) for their assignments.

Thanks to the generosity of the District 9 SE OK County Health Department and the LeFlore County Health Department, every Howe student will receive a complimentary pair of solar eclipse glasses. These glasses are essential for safely viewing the eclipse, and will be sent home on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

For additional resources and educational materials related to the solar eclipse, please visit our school website at www.howeschools.org or visit our eclipse resources for students and families at https://bit.ly/lioneclipse.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Let's make the most of this extraordinary day!
