Pike County will experience a solar eclipse the afternoon of Monday, Aug. 21 in what will likely be the biggest event in astronomy this year. The peak time for the solar eclipse coincides with dismissal times for Pike County pre-K, primary and elementary schools and the school system will delay dismissal by one hour to keep students from looking up at the sun and damaging their eyesight.
DISMISSAL TIMES FOR TODAY, MONDAY, AUGUST 21:
High school - 3 p.m.
Ninth Grade Academy - 3:10 p.m.
Middle School - 3:20 p.m.
Elementary School - 3:45 p.m.
Primary School - 4 p.m.
Pre-K - 4:15 p.m.
Since solar glasses ordered by the school system were not recommended for use by students, all outdoor solar eclipse activities at Pike schools have been cancelled.
