Tuscarora Junior High School

As you are likely aware, there will be a solar eclipse during the afternoon hours of April 8th. However, its timing coincides with our usual dismissal times, posing a potential safety risk as students may inadvertently view the eclipse without proper precautions while leaving school or riding the bus and Guidance from PDE recommends early dismissal as an option for this event. To ensure the safety of our students, we have decided to initiate an early dismissal and suspend all after-school activities until 5:30 pm. This measure guarantees that all students will be safely home before the eclipse begins. All students will be dismissed at 12:30 pm.
