Tomorrow, Friday, June 12, 2026, there is a Heat Advisory for our region, with very warm temperatures and high humidity expected by late tomorrow afternoon.

Please encourage your students to drink plenty of fluids while at home and to bring water bottles with them to school, as well as to wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing tomorrow.

We have asked building-based Principals to consider ways to lower student and staff exposure to the warmest areas in our buildings and to be strategic about how we can use classrooms in the lower levels of our schools, as well as how we can leverage our air conditioned spaces.

Please be in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,
Caty

The Summer Meals Program, an essential part of the HCC’s Take A Bite Out of Hunger initiative, provides free breakfasts and lunches Monday-Friday during the summer months for children aged 18 and under. This effort is possible with hundreds of volunteer hours and collaborations with our local libraries, schools, community groups, and business donors.

We will be providing meals to day camps in Hartford, subsidized housing in Hartford and Lebanon, and offering meal bag pick ups for families who aren’t served by these other locations for the weeks of June 22 - August 14.

If you have questions or would like to sign up, please visit our website to learn more! 🍎
