Tracking School-Age Care: How are we Making a Difference?
Reporting Systems for School-Age Care Achievements
4-H professionals take pride in reaching all communities and making a difference
in the lives of youth and families. State and federal funders require reporting
of data through ES-237 and ERS/Section B to provide accountability for our commitments
to inclusion and tangible outcomes in Extension activities. In addition, agents
may elect to participate in special initiatives such as the Extension Cares
Initiative, 4-H After-school, or grant-funded projects that provide resources
and additional opportunities to record accomplishments in after-school programming.
A brief description of each of these options follows:
State and Federally-Required Reporting
ES-237 is a federal statistical annual report that documents youth
and volunteer participation and curriculum use in 4-H programs.
Report due September each year
A list of ES-237 items relevant to School-Age Care follows:
ERS/Section A is monthly contact information that is reported against each POW objective
Due by the 5th of each month
Accomplishment Reports/ERS/Section B is a state semi-annual report that also serves federal reporting requirements. Agents reporting School-Age
Care activities select one or more of the Measures of Progress or Impact indicators for Objective 1 (improving
quality) or Objective 2 (expanding availability).
Due June 30 and December 31 of each year
ERS/Section C is the opportunity to report Program Successes. This section should be completed monthly or at least semi annually.
ERS/Section F is mandatory and is to be completed monthly. These sections report those sessions that are hosted or sponsored by Extension by POW Objective.
EMAPS is the process used to Plan and Evaluate your POW actions for the year. The plan is due for each year in January and evaluated as to actual
accomplishments via one-on-one consultation with immediate supervisor in December.
