WHAT IS K CAMP?

Kindergarten camp is a program offered to incoming kindergarten students enrolled at South St. Paul Public Schools to help your child have a smooth transition into our school community. We want to offer a free summer learning opportunity for children who are eligible to attend kindergarten in the fall of 2022. The program will be held at Lincoln Center Elementary and Kaposia Education Center. In order to keep the program free and available to all our families, there will be no transportation provided. You will be responsible for transporting your child to and from the program.

WHY K CAMP?

This program will help your child prepare for kindergarten. Classes are held in kindergarten classrooms at your child’s home school. Students will become comfortable in a kindergarten classroom and explore their elementary building while being introduced to a “mini” kindergarten schedule.
Students will also:

• Become familiar with their new school environment
• Learn about bus safety and lunch procedures
• Participate in circle time activities and morning meetings
• Interact with peers

HOW DO I REGISTER MY CHILD?

Enrollment is accepted at a first come first serve basis. Space is limited and classes may fill quickly. Please complete your registration as soon as possible.

GRASP is a correspondence program for grades K to 8 which helps students maintain reading and math skills while they are on summer break.

Children receive a packet of materials with a booklet containing 9 lessons. It takes approximately one hour to complete each lesson. Students submit one lesson a week starting June 17th or work at their own pace, as long as they submit all lessons before August 12th. They mail the lessons to GRASP in provided envelopes where they are scored and returned to the children with comments.

There is also an on-line version of GRASP for students in 4th to 8th grade. These students will receive feedback immediately.

Children successfully completing at least 7 lessons with 70% accuracy are awarded a certificate. Those successfully completing all 9 lessons with 70% accuracy receive a medal! Certificates and medals will be distributed by your school.

When registering, select the grade your child is just completing so they review material they learned. If your child is ahead or behind grade level, order the appropriate level. The fees for the summer of 2022 are $39 for one subject or $59 for both subjects for each child. You can enroll your child by completing the form below and paying the indicated enrollment fee.

THE FORM AND FEE SHOULD BE RETURNED TO SCHOOL NO LATER THAN APRIL 22, 2022.
All materials or login information will be sent home with the child by the last week of school.
