West Hartford Schools Pitch Summer Math, Reading

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Local schoolchildren might not want to admit it, but the summer is already about half over, with the first day of classes starting Aug. 31.

As a result, West Hartford Public Schools are urging youngsters to participate in summer reading and math programs to make sure their learning skills don't dull with the summer sun.

For example, the school system said students in grades pre-K through fifth-grade have summer reading logs that they can complete by next month.

If they do so, they can return them to a local public library between Aug. 15-26 to receive a free book or wait until school starts and do the same at their respective school library/media center.

For pupils who are more into numbers than words, the local school system is urging participation in a summer math program.

The school system is helping to publicize West Hartford pupils' participation in the "Connecticut State Department of Education Commissioner's 2022 Summer Math Challenge: Building the Foundation for Success."

Access to the program is available digitally and it is linked up on the West Hartford school system's site.
