EZReports Guidance


We want to put the ‘easy’ back in EZReports, so we'll be adding a new tip for you here each month!

PRO TIP ⚡️:


Run Data Check

EZReports Data Checks are just one way to review your data to address any gaps or errors. We suggest running data checks on a regular basis.


To access the data check page, complete the following steps:

  • Go to Reports 21 APR Reports.

  • Scroll down to the Activities, Staffing, and Participation or Outcomes section.

  • Click on the Data Check button for the program.

The 'Data Check' screen at the State Level and Grantee Level shows the list of sites with APR warnings and errors. There are three ways to run a data check:

  • The Run Data Check button at the top helps to run a data check by cohort.

  • The Run Data Check link displayed next to the grantee name helps to run a data check by grantee.

  • To run a data check by site, click on the Run Data Check icon.

This will check for warnings by cohort, grantee or site, depending on the chosen option, and the results get refreshed accordingly.

Review the EZReports Data Verification Guidelines for additional information and resources to verify EZReports data.

At the High School, the weightlifting club meets multiple days each week utilizing both the weight room and gym to accommodate large numbers of students at each meeting. Students are taught foundational bodyweight and barbell exercises with a focus on form and safety. Club leaders Ashley Gold and Chris App cycle upwards of 40 students through warm-ups, main lifts and “WODS” (workout of the day) during each meeting.

At the elementary school, the 21st CCLC students have been working on an art project featuring influential Black people. Great work!
