Early Dismissal for Solar Eclipse
Perth Amboy Public Schools will have an early dismissal to enjoy the solar eclipse on Monday. This message was posted on the website PAPS.net
Message from Dr. David A. Roman, Superintendent of Schools
Dear Perth Amboy School Community:
On Monday, April 8, 2024, our State will experience a near total solar eclipse with approximately 91% of the sun covered.
This event is anticipated to be visible approximately between 2:30pm to 4:45pm. To allow everyone to safely experience this event, the District will have an early dismissal on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Please be mindful in ensuring that precautions are taken when viewing the eclipse as looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can cause severe and lasting damage to the eyes.
