Do you want to help your child maintain reading and math skills over summer break? GRASP is an at-home program used by families throughout the U.S. for 50 years! Children finishing Kindergarten to 8th grade receive a packet of materials with a booklet. This booklet has 9 units of review exercises to be completed each week. Each lesson takes about one hour to complete. You mail scan sheets to GRASP for scoring and we will email lesson results back. Or parents can score scan sheets with their cell phones instead of mailing them in! Parents will receive an email with more information after the registration is processed. SUGGESTED RETURN DATE FOR FIRST LESSON IS JUNE 12TH ALL LESSONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY AUGUST 7TH Children in grades 4 to 8 can choose to do GRASP online instead of using the book and scan sheets. The results of each question are shown immediately. If your child successfully completes at least 7 units with 70% accuracy are awarded a certificate. Those successfully completing all 9 units with 70% accuracy receive a medal (one per child). Results will be shared with your school, and they will distribute certificates and medals. The cost is $39 for one subject or $68 for both subjects for each child. Order the grade level they are just completing so they can review or order a different level if that is appropriate for your child. To register, complete the enrollment with Hastings Community Ed no later April 28, 2026 at 9am. All materials will be sent home with your child by the last week of school if they attend one of the Hastings Public Schools or you can choose to pick up the materials for Tilden Community Center. Online logins will be emailed.
