**Orders are sent in to GRASP on April 30th. No late registrations will be taken. **Please make sure your address/email/phone number in your Tridistrict account are all up to date in order to receive correspondence from GRASP. GRASP is a nine-week correspondence program which helps students maintain reading and math skills while they are on summer vacation. It should take you and your child approximately one hour per week for nine weeks to complete each weekly lesson. We suggest parents order the grade level just completed. If there are extenuating circumstances, order the level that is appropriate for your child. Prices include curriculum packet, completion awards and scoring service. GRASP has 9 lessons to be submitted during the summer—one per week. Each lesson reinforces the basic skills typically found in most curricula at that particular grade level. GRASP staff score the lesson and return it to the student with comments. Please select the correct GRASP Section: You can order 1 subject for your student for $39.00, either math or reading. Upon registering you will fill out a questionnaire on your students school, grade and select either the math or reading booklet. If you select the section for both subjects the cost is $59.00, you will fill out a questionnaire for the grade level preferred for each subject. You can choose different grade levels for reading and math. Books will be delivered to your child's school and handed out by their homeroom teacher in late May/early June. **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 student is grade 4-8 you will be asked registration questions and choose book or online.

Soccer: DASH Sports soccer camps provide players a well-rounded soccer experience covering a broad range of soccer skills training (dribbling, passing, shooting, & defense) and skill-based games. Players will be challenged and grouped at an appropriate level while receiving instruction in a fun, positive environment while learning values of ‘Respect, Hustle, and Pride’. Camp ends with a scrimmage on the final day. Athletes should bring a water bottle (spikes and shin guards are optional). Balls are provided.

We invite students in grades five through eight to participate in our newly launched homework help program. This initiative offers a positive atmosphere for students to receive assistance with their assignments. In addition to completing homework, the program focuses on activities that foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the reinforcement of positive study habits. Each day, students will receive an after-school snack, which is included in the program fee. Transportation is also provided via bus home if needed. When registering you will be asked to select your students after class plans. The homework help bus stop locations may be different than the bus stop locations for to and from school routes. Bus stops are within walking distance from students' homes but may not be within a block or two. You can also pick-up your student by 4:30pm at the school. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where students can seek guidance, clarify concepts, complete assignments, and ultimately build stronger study habits and academic confidence. Benefits of After-School Enrichment Research shows that after-school enrichment programs can enhance: Students' confidence Academic achievement Creativity Time management skills Teamwork Stress relief for working families
