Here is a glossary of terms used throughout the After School system: 

APR

The APR or Annual Performance Report is the set of data submitted to the US Department of Education via the 21APR federal database to show what took place in your program during a reporting year.

REGISTERED/ATTENDEE

Registered participants are people that have a registration form on file with your program. Attendees are participants that are not registered – commonly used for adults and family members of registered participants.

REPORTING PERIOD

There are 2 reporting periods (summer and school year) associated with each APR reporting year. The reporting year BEGINS with the summer reporting period, then continues through the school year reporting period.

ROSTERS

Rosters are lists of participants and can be used to print paper attendance sheets for recording participation. Rosters can be associated with specific sessions being offered at a site or can be established for a custom group of participants.

TERM

A Term is a date range that defines when your afterschool program is in operation. Typically, Terms align with the APR reporting year.
