Eligible Students and Sign Up Information

The GLPS summer learning program is open to all students enrolled at Grand Ledge Public Schools. It is not available for students from other schools or districts. Students will sign up based on the grade level in which they are currently enrolled, NOT next year’s grade level.

Based on space and staffing, students will be placed on a first come, first served basis. If the section is full for a week that a family requests, the student may be placed on a waiting list. All placements will be finalized and communicated to families on or before June 10th. Along with your confirmation, you will receive additional information about classrooms, field trips, drop off/pick up procedures, and other logistics. Incoming kindergarten students are not eligible unless they are current GLPS Begindergarten (BK) students.

To sign up for Summer Learning, please follow these directions:

We have setup a Google Form for you to use to choose the weeks you wish your child to be attending Summer Learning and letting us know if there will be transportation needs. There is a Field Trip Waiver porting to the registration form…

THIS FORM WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 26TH THROUGH MAY 17TH , AND STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED THROUGH THE FORM TO RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION. ENROLLMENT AFTER MAY 17TH WILL FOLLOW A DIFFERENT PROCEDURE, WHICH WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO FAMILIES AT THAT TIME.

Special Education Services

All students with IEP’s, 504’s, or other plans are welcome and encouraged to attend. We will have special education staff available to support them in their classes. 

Meals

We are not serving a snack this year because the dollars used for this in the past are no longer available. You can choose to have your students bring in a peanut/tree nut free snack each day. 

Transportation

Transportation will be provided to all students within district boundaries who sign up for Summer Learning on or before May 17th. The Transportation Department will not process adds or changes to routes after the 17th.  Families will be notified of their transportation routes and times after June 9th and prior to the first week of the program. Notifications will be sent via School Messenger, postcards will not be mailed.

Cost

The program remains free for families.
