Yates Summer Reading Challenge 📚☀️😎



With temperatures rising to the high 90’s in the coming days, it is important to be safe in the heat. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke is serious, it is crucial to stay hydrated by drinking water and electrolytes, seek shade and wear light colored, loose-fitting clothing.
This also goes for your pets. Keep them in cool areas, ensure they have enough water to drink and do not leave them in cars, even for a quick trip into a store.
Also, check on your elderly neighbors and family members as they are more susceptible to heat-related issues. Individuals with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues may experience worsened symptoms in high heat.
To stay cool, visit a splash pad located at:
Wallingford on Congress – 1004 Congress St./5th Ave
Tribute – Eastern Ave 868 Eastern Ave
Woodlawn – 1 Ricci Street
Jerry Burrell – 753 Hamilton St


Given the heat and high temperatures expected this week, we are going to adjust our daily schedules. On Tuesday, June 18, & Thursday, June 20 , elementary & middle school students will attend a half day of school. More info:
