Our 5th graders will be studying Earth, Moon, Sun, and Solar System to prepare for the end of year Standard of Learning state exams.

We'd like to request a day time visit from Back Bay astronomers to come and talk with our students and bring their telescope to view the sun.  

The dates available are any 1 day March 17-19, 2026 or any 1 day March 23-26, 2026.  Classes run from 9:45-11:45am; 12:40 - 3:10pm  

We have one science teacher in 5th grade who teaches her class and 3 others in 5th grade; Mrs. Allyson Connally.  She can be contacted via email at allyson.connally@portsk12.com  or call the school 757-686-2519 and leave her a message.

You can also follow up with me, Vicki Tiller, Family & Community Engagement Liaison, as I am the one who recommended to her about having your group come out.  

Thank you, and please advise

Vicki Tiller
