Eaton’s Pizza Book Challenge March goal:  20 books 

Grafton is excited to announce the return of their Summer Learning Program, featuring both enrichment and academic (remedial) courses tailored to meet the diverse needs of students.   Enrichment Courses: These courses are open to all students residing in Grafton, without the need for a teacher’s recommendation. The offerings will be detailed in our upcoming summer school brochure. Registration for these enrichment courses will commence on Thursday, April 4. For more information and continuous updates, please visit the summer school section on our district website. 

Academic: Remedial Reading and Math Courses  For students entering grades 1st through 6th grade next year, academic classes will require a teacher’s recommendation to ensure support is directed towards those most in need. This year, eligibility for these courses will be based on students scoring below the 25th percentile on the MAP screener.  Please refer to your child’s MAP scores or check with Mrs. Gieschen (denise.gieschen@splgrafton.org) to see if your child is eligible. ALL STUDENT SUBMISSIONS MUST BE IN BY MONDAY, MARCH 11TH.   Please check with Mrs.. Gieschen if you have questions.
