The Activities section is where services related to participants are created and managed. While there are multiple types of activities, this document focuses on creating Services.
Services include things such as providing clothing, food vouchers and school supplies.
To manage activities, you must be connected to a specific site. Use the Switch Access feature to connect to the desired site. To learn more about Switching Access, please see this article.
Determining which school site to set up an activity/service is very important for reporting purposes.
- The activity/service is offered centrally. (The district liaison may distribute bus passes centrally.)
- Participants are offered the activity/service at all sites. (Bus passes are also offered at all school sites.)
- It is not important that participation in the activity/service is associated with a certain site. (It is only important to know how many bus passes were distributed in total, not by school.)
- If the activity/service is related to administrative-type efforts and participants are not students. (Coordinating Services with other Agencies or Professional Development.)
- The activity/service will be specifically offered at a site and not at all sites (e.g., Counseling is only offered at the junior high and high school sites.)
- It is important that the activity or service is recorded as having occurred at a specific site. (It is important to know how many hours of counseling were offered at each school site.)
