SONJ

October 2021 Report- Year 14

Monthly reports are due for each month from September to June, with a Midterm report due in January and a Final Report in June. 
The Midterm and Final reports take the place of the monthly reports for that year. The participation numbers included in the Midterm and Final reports should be for the total number of students that have participated for the time period in each category.

When reporting numbers for Physical Education please keep in mind that we do not want the total number of students in the school for students without disabilities even if your school has fully included PE. Estimate the number of students without disabilities that interact meaningfully within the total class as your reporting number.

 There will be a hold put on grant funds if monthly reports are not kept up to date. 
If you have questions, please contact ucs@sonj.org
