Summer Learning Activities
Hempstead Public Schools encourages all students to stay engaged in learning throughout the summer. Summer is a valuable time for students to strengthen academic skills, explore new interests, read regularly, and prepare for a successful start to the new school year.
Our Summer Learning Activities provide students and families with resources to support continued growth in reading, writing, mathematics, science, technology, and creativity. These activities are designed to be flexible and can be completed at home, in the community, or as part of a daily summer routine.
