Malpass Corner Elementary School

Pender County will experience the partial solar eclipse which will begin at approx. 1:59 pm and be at its maximum at 3:15 pm and end at approx. 4:28 pm. Pender County Schools will be on a regular schedule on Monday, April 8, 2024. In recognition of the event, we will be teaching our students about the solar eclipse and other astronomical events that occur on a yearly basis. While we will work to share this as an educational opportunity for our students, we recognize that many of our students will be leaving school for dismissal and will be home as the eclipse reaches its maximum coverage.  As such, we want our students to be aware that it is never advisable to look at the sun directly during a solar eclipse without wearing proper eye safety equipment. For more information about safety during a partial solar eclipse please visit Nasa’s website  https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/. Additionally, NASA provides an Eclipse Explorer which will allow you to see when and where the partial solar eclipse will affect any zip code in North America https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/.   Once again, we are looking forward to Monday’s eclipse.  Malpass Corner will be on a regular schedule on Monday, April 8, 2024.
