(Columbia, SC) -- The state continues to prepare for next week's solar eclipse.

The Upstate will see 85-percent of the sun blocked out just after 3 p.m. on April 8th.
Those wanting to view the eclipse can do so using proper glasses, but officials have warned to look out for fake glasses and to not uses glasses from the 2017 eclipse.
Some school districts have also adjusted their schedules for the day, with some either switching to e-learning days or dismissing students early.
