Elementary Reach
REACH is an academic support program for students who need additional assistance with the regular curriculum. Students enrolled in the program must meet the Harding entrance standards. The program is customized for the individual child according to the amount and type of academic support needed.
The advantages of the program are numerous.
- The REACH teacher has ongoing communication with the classroom teacher and the parents.
- Support is given on site while the student is at school, without having to take him or her elsewhere for assistance.
- Individual, small group, and in-classroom assistance can be given according to what best benefits the student.
- Assistance is available in all academic areas and in organizational/study skills.
- The number of hours can be flexible. A student may receive ongoing support or may get short-term help, such as a back-to-school review or assistance with one particular skill or topic.
Parents may enroll their children on a semester basis or purchase a minimum of five hours of assistance, payable in advance. As needs determine, additional hours may be purchased with a minimum of five hours each time. A refund will be given for any unused hours the classroom and REACH teachers determine are not needed.
Interested parents should discuss the program with their child’s teacher or a REACH teacher.
