GRASP offers a summer correspondence program designed for students in grades K-8 to help them retain and enhance their reading and math skills during the break. Participants receive a packet containing materials and a booklet with nine lessons, each requiring about an hour to complete. Students can either submit one lesson per week starting June 10th or work at their own pace, ensuring all lessons are submitted by August 7th. Lessons are mailed to GRASP for evaluation and returned with feedback. Students who successfully complete at least 7 lessons with a minimum of 70% accuracy will earn a certificate. Those who achieve 70% accuracy across all 9 lessons will receive a medal. Certificates and medals will now be distributed by schools, rather than mailed directly to participants as in previous years. When registering, please select the grade level your child has just completed to ensure they review the material they have already covered. The class fee is $35 for one subject or $60 for both subjects ($30 each). Be sure to register by the deadline of April 17th.
