Summer Math 2024 Olympic Style
Keeping up with math skills over the summer is super important! We know how hard your kids have worked to learn math during the school year, and we don't want them to forget any of it. That's why we're encouraging them to practice their math skills to keep them sharp.
To make practicing math fun and rewarding, we're inviting your kids to join our Summer Math Olympics Challenge! They can become a Summer Math Olympiad by choosing a competition pathway and aiming for the gold.
If your child competes and earns a medal, they'll be invited to a special Medal Ceremony at school in October to receive their medal and celebrate their math success.
If you want to learn more about the Summer Math Olympics and get your child started in the competition, please visit the Elementary Math Summer Website below. Let's make math practice an exciting part of summer!

Kindergarten Registration Process for 2024-2025
A message from Dr. Semmel regarding the Kindergarten Registration Process for 2024-2025
Did you know that this past spring the Connecticut Legislature passed a new law regarding the age of Kindergarteners? They passed Public Act 23-208, which amended Section 10-15c of the Connecticut General Statutes requiring that all public schools be open to all children five years of age and over who reach age five on or before the first day of September of any school year. The previous law allowed children to start Kindergarten if they reached age 5 by January 1 of any school year.
The new law does allow parents/guardians of children who will not turn 5 until after September 1, but before January 1, the right to send a written request to the district requesting that their child be allowed to attend Kindergarten in the Fall.
For any Trumbull resident interested in registering for kindergarten this fall, please use the link below. This link will guide you through the process for entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2024.
