Being involved in up to three Clubs can and should be used to supplement your students' academic attendance. Here's how!


  • Be sure your students' academic schoolwork in completed for the day.
  • Student attends a club, and afterward the Learning Coach can add the attendance for the club in the closest attendance category!
  • This also goes for The Zone, K12 activities, and teams such as school organizations, in addition to Clubs. These are all social-emotional learning opportunities.
  • Families have up to twelve hours of supplemental family time per week to use for social-emotional learning, family activities, Clubs and other activities related to the curriculum. For example, Spelling Club is ELA supplemental time. Trivia Club can be reported in any category. Cooking Clubs are Math, Health or Science, and a bit of ELA (Split the time). History Geeks is History or Social Studies... Art clubs are art or ELA time... if you have a question about those, ask Teri Lynn!
  • Be sure your total time for the day is not more than ten hours for the day.
  • You can watch recordings of a Club if one was done, and report that time.
  • Family activities such as field trips, a family business, and a student's athletic time can also be reported up to a certain number of hours.
  • If you have a question about those, ask Teri Lynn! Contact information is below!
