GRASP The GRASP program is a nine week correspondence summer program written by Grand Rapids Public Schools staff in math and reading. It is designed for children who have completed grades K-8. Children receive a packet of materials for the nine weeks of summer, and mail in a lesson a week. The lessons are scored, results recorded, and lessons returned to the children. Lessons can also be completed online for more timely feedback. For more information or to enroll your child in the GRASP program please call (616) 819-2548. |
