Report Activities
After completing your activity, submit your photos* via the online Activity Reporting Form. We’ll review your submission and award your school points each month. Be sure you’ve signed up for the ELC first, or we may not be able to process your points.
Please make one submission for each activity completed. If you did an activity more than once (e.g., with different groups of students or for recurring events), you must submit each occurrence of the activity individually to get extra points.
