Ecology Club Newsletter:
An eclipse is an astrological event that is caused by the total/partial covering of one heavenly body by another. There are two major types of eclipses: a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is when Earth’s shadow covers the moon. A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks us from seeing the sun. Solar eclipses can be classified as either total, partial, hybrid or annular. Total and partial are self-explanatory. A hybrid eclipse is when an eclipse shifts between annular and total as the moon moves across the globe. Annular eclipses happen when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, but only when it is at or near its farthest point from earth. This means that the moon appears smaller than the sun, and doesn’t completely cover it because the moon is farther ...

American Rescue Plan:
Our school community is working hard to maintain some sense of normalcy and plan for next year. I am hopeful that in the fall we will be returning to a somewhat typical learning environment.

Important Information:
As you may have heard, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that parts of Onondaga County have been placed under new restrictions (yellow zone) due to a rising number of COVID-19 cases in the area. The Lyncourt School District is included in this yellow zone.
As part of the yellow zone designation, the Lyncourt School District must start randomly testing 20 percent of all people (students and staff) if the building conducts school in-person. This testing will take place weekly until further notice. Schools will remain open as long as a district reaches the 20 percent testing goal each week. If not, the district will continue with remote learning.
The district is working with Onondaga County to finalize details regarding how testing will be conducted throughout the ...
