Dear Linden Families,
Tomorrow, we return from Spring break to a full day of school. Our teachers’ and staff’s commitment and hard work are highly valued and recognized. I am confident that they, along with you and your children, have been rejuvenated and are prepared to tackle the rest of the academic year energized and with a strong drive for success. Together, let us embrace the upcoming challenges with enthusiasm and dedication. We have an exciting week ahead of us.
The Solar Eclipse will take place on Monday, April 8th.
Schools are closed on Wednesday, April 10th, for Eid Al Fitr.
Reminders for the Solar Eclipse:
The Solar Eclipse is scheduled to begin around 2:09 pm, with maximum coverage at 3:24 pm. It is scheduled to end around 4:35 pm. According to science.nasa.gov, homemade or ordinary sunglasses are insufficient ways to view a solar eclipse, as the reflectivity and polarization are not high enough for safe viewing. For additional information on safety viewing during an eclipse, visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/.
Take care, and again, welcome back from Spring break.
Atiya Y. Perkins
Superintendent of Schools
Dear Linden Families,
Dear Linden Families,
According to earthquake.us.gov, there was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake at 10:23 AM. While this is a new experience for all of us, I send prayers and well wishes for peace.
Safety and security is always a top priority. I want to reassure everyone that we have implemented our crisis emergency team. Schools are being inspected for a safe return for Monday and our team is in communication with city officials.
Take care,
Atiya Y. Perkins
Dear Linden Families,
Happy Spring Break. Spring break begins later this afternoon through Friday, April 5th. I wish our school community a peaceful time with family and friends. During Spring break, all schools are closed.
We look forward to everyone returning on Monday, April 8th. Also note that during that week, the Solar Eclipse will take place (April 8th), and school closure for Eid Al Fitr will occur (April 10th). Happy Ramadan to those who celebrate.
Preparing for the Solar Eclipse
There will be a Solar Eclipse in the Northeast Region of the United States on Monday, April 8, 2024. With such a monumental event occurring while school is in session, the Board of Education Commissioners want our school community to be prepared to take precautionary steps to remain safe during this historic event. The solar eclipse is scheduled to begin around 2:09 pm, with maximum coverage at 3:24 pm. It is scheduled to end around 4:35 pm.
We know the warnings of looking directly into the Sun during a Solar Eclipse is unsafe. Our school district will supply students with protective glasses to view the eclipse if they choose. The glasses conform to the transmission requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). According to science.nasa.gov, homemade or ordinary sunglasses are insufficient ways to view a solar eclipse, as the reflectivity and polarization are not high enough for safe viewing.
I encourage you to talk about the solar eclipse during spring break. Teachers will also engage in conversations related to the solar eclipse. Contact your child’s optometrist or ophthalmologist for questions about your child’s participation. For additional information on safety viewing during an eclipse, visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/.
Take care and be well,
Atiya Y. Perkins
Superintendent of Schools
