solar eclipse safety poster

We know it's been everywhere, but we care about your eyes, so we are going to issue one more reminder ahead of today's eclipse about timing and staying safe: Today, parts of North America will be treated to a total solar eclipse!

Although Powhatan won't be in the path of totality, we'll still get to enjoy around 86% coverage. PCPS will be celebrating the day with age-appropriate activities to help students understand the phenomenon. Rest assured, safety is our top priority, and we'll be providing proper eye protection and guidance on safe viewing practices for everyone involved.

Peak coverage will be at 3:19 p.m. We ask for your patience as elementary school buses may be running slightly behind schedule. Secondary students will receive glasses they can bring home to safely view the eclipse.
