Cozad High School Eclipse Viewing Info

General Notes and Precautions

  • All students should leave personal devices in their lockers (they will be a distraction and any attempt to use them to photograph the eclipse will result in camera sensor damage).

  • It is imperative that no one look directly at the eclipse without protective glasses. Doing so will result in permanent vision damage.


Notes:

  • Students should plan in advance to bring sunscreen, hats, water bottles (can be filled at the Culligan truck), etc.
