Activities Setup

The School Performance Report Card specifies extra/Co-Curricular Activities as:

School-sanctioned activities intended to broaden, develop, and enhance a student’s school experience in the areas of academics, athletics, and music. Participation is not required and the group or event is not offered for credit or grade. In general, the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Accounting Requirements (WUFAR) describes co-curricular activities as "instructional activities under the guidance and supervision of school staff designed to provide students such experiences as motivation, enjoyment, and improvement of skills. (They) supplement regular instructional activities and include… band, chorus, speech and debate, (and) athletics".
