Hilliard City Schools will make a shift in its academic calendar on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to our proximity to the total solar eclipse pathway. Students will not have school, but staff will report for a work day.
The April event will mark the first total solar eclipse visible in Ohio since 1806. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of our students and staff, the district has purchased eclipse glasses for every student and staff member. These glasses will be distributed to students before they leave for Spring Break.
Superintendent David Stewart stated, “Our area is expected to see a large increase in visitors who want to view the total solar eclipse. This, in combination with concerns about safety as well as many families’ desire to view the eclipse, led us to this decision.”
Additionally, please note that there will be no high school sports practices or other extra-curricular activities scheduled that day until after 6 pm and only indoors. All elementary and middle school after school activities will be canceled.
We are excited about this rare event and the learning opportunities it presents for our students. Thank you for your understanding and support as we make adjustments to accommodate this unique occasion.
Britton-Norwich Learning Campus SACC
The Ohio Department of Education regulates how we operate our School Age Childcare Programs. Our SACC program is required to follow state guidelines as well as new pandemic guidelines.
With concerns over keeping children and staff safe and meeting pandemic guidelines, the Britton-Norwich Learning Campus SACC will need to remain separated during the pandemic. During times when your child is in school, these drop off/pick up procedures will need to be followed. Children grades K-2 will need to be dropped off and picked up at the Britton building, and children in grades 3-5 will need to be dropped off and picked up at the Norwich building.
We are committed to providing your child the best before and after school experience possible, and thank you for your support and patience during this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and work with local health officials and ODE licensing to evaluate the decisions regarding The Britton-Norwich Learning Campus SACC.
