Schools raised the issue of child safety to justify the suspension; At CSS Val-des-Cerfs, it is estimated that a logistical reorganization will allow courses to continue, starting with the distribution of approved pairs of glasses to allow the eclipse to be observed without danger.
Otherwise, the CSS Val-des-Cerfs, which covers public establishments in Estrie, has decided – once more for safety reasons – to change the school transport schedule at the end of the day, given that the eclipse is due to occur. between 2:15 p.m. and 4:37 p.m.
Thus, school transportation will be canceled for preschool and primary school students; parents must pick up their child from school following 4:45 p.m. In secondary school, school transportation will be postponed until 4:45 p.m.
Furthermore, students will not be able to leave their school between 1 p.m. and 4:45 p.m., unless their parents come to pick them up from the secretariat. This instruction will also apply to students returning home on foot.
“In order to facilitate the supervision of students, we ask parents to avoid as much as possible picking up their child during the eclipse,” wrote the general director of CSS Val-des-Cerfs, Carl Morissette, in a message sent to parents on Thursday and of which Noovo Info obtained a copy.

If CSS Val-des-Cerfs takes all these precautions and other school service centers even go so far as to suspend classes, it is because there are health risks linked to the eclipse, such as underlines the Ministry of Health. You should not observe the solar eclipse with the naked eye for its entire duration, and more particularly in its phase of totality scheduled between 3:25 p.m. and 3:40 p.m.
Ignoring this guideline, viewing a solar eclipse, even for a few seconds, can have adverse health effects, including potentially irreversible vision impairment.
