Greeneville City Schools announced they will have an early dismissal on April 8 due to the solar eclipse.
The press release states: On April 8, 2024, according to nasa.gov, we will experience an 86.9% solar eclipse beginning at 2:33 p.m. The greatest eclipse coverage will be during the time of school dismissal. Out of an abundance of caution, we will dismiss school early on this date. GHS and GMS will dismiss at 11:30 a.m. and elementary schools will dismiss at 11:45 a.m. Lunch will be served before dismissal.
There will be no after-school 21st Century grant programs on this date. Additionally, afternoon athletic programs and practices may begin at 5:00 p.m. or later (coaches will send information). All students and staff will receive eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse. We will also share eclipse resources for families.
The Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA have confirmed that they will be open on this date.
