The first day of school in Santa Fe ISD will not only be the start of a fantastic year, but we will also experience a solar eclipse visible in the United States. This event has not occurred in 38 years. In Santa Fe, the partial eclipse will begin to be viewable at approximately 11:40 a.m. and will reach maximum coverage at or about 1:20 p.m.

In order to support an enriching educational experience for our students, the Santa Fe Texas Education Foundation committed to providing safe solar eclipse viewing glasses for our students. Regretfully, the vendor was unable to fulfill the orders due to extremely high demand for these glasses.

Teachers across the district will have resources available to offer learning opportunities in the classroom for this special event. Please contact your child’s campus if you have any questions or concerns.
