Back to school time is exciting, but can also cause a lot of anxiety for some kids. Our friends at Cartwheel are offering a FREE webinar this Wednesday August 14 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. providing tips to help families deal with that back to school anxiety.

Classroom Quarterback - Linda Tudryn - InsideLowell by Jen M yers It is the second to last week of school, but the students in Linda Tudryn’s third-grade class at the Bailey Elementary School are as engaged as they were in October. They sit quietly on the rug as Ms. Tudryn reviews the literary devices they had previously…

We hope all of our dads have a great day!

Beach day at the Bailey! I wish it was sunny outside too!

On Monday, April 8, the Moon will orbit between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun for a period of time. The next time Lowell will experience a total solar eclipse will be on May 1, 2079, so this is a pretty big event.

In Lowell, the eclipse will begin at 2:15 p.m., peak at 3:29 p.m., and end at 4:38 p.m. While we are not in the path of totality, the Sun will be about 95% covered at the peak time here.

While it is an exciting occurrence, we urge you to stress to your children that it is very dangerous to look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse when it doesn’t seem as bright. Harmful rays are still shining down and can permanently damage eyesight.

Ordinary sunglasses – even very dark ones – are not strong enough to protect your eyes. The only safe way to look at the eclipse is through special eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard (they will say this on the glasses or the packaging). There are many places that are selling “eclipse glasses” that do not meet this standard and therefore are not safe.

Additionally, do not use binoculars, a telescope, or a camera to view the eclipse if they are not also equipped with a solar filter, or their lenses will be damaged.

For information about the eclipse visit NASA’s website: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/

We have a 2 hour delay today. School will open at 10:30.

Good Morning. Lowell Public Schools will have a 2-hour delay today Thursday April 4 due to the weather. No half day Pre-K.
