				<title>Weekly Announcements / Solar Eclipse</title>
				<link>https://aleeacademy.org/posts/2024/04/07/weekly-announcements/</link>
				<pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 17:54:11 -0400</pubDate>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;As many of you know, we will experience a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/@11788376&#34;&gt;solar eclipse tomorrow&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;between 1:45 and 4:15. Our area will not experience a total eclipse but&#xA;this can be a really cool learning opportunity for all of us, adults and&#xA;kids alike and the experts say we won&amp;rsquo;t experience this again &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/@11788376?iso=20450812&#34;&gt;until 2045&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are special precautions that we must all take however to&#xA;avoid potential dangers associated with an eclipse. It is super&#xA;important to wear proper eye protection when looking at the eclipse.&#xA;The peak of the eclipse for our area is going to be during dismissal and&#xA;while the kids are riding the bus and walking home​, so somewhere between&#xA;2:30 and 3:30 I have decided to release our students after lunch&#xA;​tomorrow so students will be at home ​during the peak time and when they&#xA;will most likely be able to see the eclipse.  ​Mr. Clawson, our science&#xA;teacher, will be teaching the students about the eclipse and other&#xA;eclipse activities will be happening throughout the campus with special&#xA;emphasis on the need for wearing protective eye glasses when looking at&#xA;the eclipse. We ask that you share this information with your child as&#xA;well so they do not have any injuries to their eyes. As students leave&#xA;for dismissal tomorrow, we will be handing out ISO protective eyewear to&#xA;each student to use when they view the eclipse from home. Our buses will&#xA;begin loading at 12:30​ tomorrow, so students should arrive home&#xA;approximately 2 hours earlier than normal.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Update on Coach Davis</title>
				<link>https://aleeacademy.org/posts/2017/11/27/update-on-coach-davis/</link>

				<guid>https://aleeacademy.org/posts/2017/11/27/update-on-coach-davis/</guid>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;To Parents, Guardians, Community Partners, and Students:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that one of our teachers, Coach Davis, became very ill before Thanksgiving break. His illness was much more serious than first thought and he passed away this past Saturday. We have made grief counselors available for our students and staff as we all work through the grieving process and begin to heal our hearts. While we are all devastated, we know that Coach would want us to carry on as normal.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Eclipse Monday August 21, 2017</title>
				<link>https://aleeacademy.org/posts/2017/08/18/eclipse-monday-august-21-2017/</link>
				<pubDate>Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:20:47 -0400</pubDate>
				<guid>https://aleeacademy.org/posts/2017/08/18/eclipse-monday-august-21-2017/</guid>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Monday, Aug. 21, will be the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse will cross the nation coast-to-coast. The moon will pass between the sun and Earth, fully or partially blocking the sun, making it look like early evening in the middle of the day. In Florida, the solar eclipse will be at about 85 percent totality, which means the moon will almost completely cover the sun. Some scientists have said this won&amp;rsquo;t happen again in Florida until 2045! People of all ages around the country are making plans to experience this rare event.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
