HEAD START PROGRAM INFORMATION REPORT 2008–2009
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The annual Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) must be completed by all programs funded by the Federal
government to operate Head Start and Early Head Start programs. A separate PIR must be completed for each grant
holder and each delegate agency. Separate reports must also be completed for Head Start and Early Head Start
Programs. Programs operating a "combined" Head Start/Early Head Start are required to submit two reports.

DEADLINE: The 2009 PIR is due to Xtria no later than August 31, 2009.
Programs operating part-year options only are encouraged to submit their reports prior to this deadline.

NOW AS EASY AS 1- 2 - 3 …

1- COMPLETE YOUR PIR ON THE WEB
All programs are required to submit their PIR data electronically using the web-based PIR Reporting
system at https://www.pirweb.net. The web-based PIR system makes the reporting process faster and
more convenient, and gives program staff a password-protected means to submit the data. The online
reporting system includes all error checks and provides program level reports based on your 2009 data.
Alternative reporting using desktop PIR software will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances for
those programs that have no access to the Internet. Contact Xtria at (866) 517-1247 if you require
assistance with reporting.
2 - GUIDANCE AND REFERENCE MATERIALS
This copy of the 2009 report is provided solely as a reference as you prepare your program’s data for
submission. Additional guidance is provided in the 2009 PIR Users Guide which provides item-by-item
definitions of terms and instruction on completing report items. The Users Guide and other reference
materials are available for download at https://www.pirweb.net.
3 - COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION
Complete all questions in the PIR, unless otherwise indicated in the instructions for the item. Certain
items should be completed by “EHS” Programs only," “EHS and Migrant Programs only” and "Preschool
Head Start programs only."
o

Attention Migrant Programs: The term “migrant programs” includes only grants and
delegates funded by the Migrant and Seasonal Program Branch. When completing items for
“EHS and Migrant Programs only” report on children ages 0 through 2; when completing
items for “Preschool” age children, report on children age 3 and older. Look for this symbol
Migrant Programs for reminders of where special reporting rules apply.

Enter any comments regarding your responses to PIR items in the designated “Comments” box for the item or in
the “General Comments” section of the report. Every PIR submitted must be approved by a representative of
your agency. Enter the name of the approving official in the designated fields in the General Information section
of the report. Note: Programs are no longer required to fax or mail the signature page.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13) Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4 hours
per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed and reviewing collection information. The
project description is approved under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 0980-0017 which expires April 30, 2008. An
agency may not collect or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

A. Enrollment & Program Options
ENROLLMENT YEAR.
Information provided in this report is based on families and children served during the 2008-2009 Enrollment Year.
Enrollment Year is defined as "the period of time, not to exceed twelve months, during which a Head Start program provides
center or home-based services to a group of children and their families."
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ

Programs with full-year options should define the enrollment year based on the significant turnover that tends to occur in
conjunction with the beginning of the school year. Therefore, please define an enrollment year as a twelve-month period that
must begin between August 1 and September 15.
Programs with part-year options should use the first and last dates on which classes and/or home visits begin and end to
specify their Enrollment Year.
Migrant Programs Note the following supplemental rules:
Migrant programs may report both start and end dates either in the same calendar year or in different years, not to exceed a
12 month period.
Example 1: Enrollment Start date 4/25/08
Enrollment End date: 10/28/08
Example 2: Enrollment Start date 6/13/09
Enrollment End date: 8/26/09
Example 3: Enrollment Start date 8/22/08
Enrollment End date 5/19/09

Operating Period is the entire period in which the program operates, including the program's enrollment year and any days or
months when enrollees do not attend the program (for example, holidays and summer months).
ƒ

This report should NOT include children and families enrolled for the first time who will begin in the next enrollment year.

1. YOUR ENROLLMENT YEAR: a. START DATE (MM/DD/YYYY)

b. END DATE (MM/DD/YYYY)

FUNDED ENROLLMENT BY PROGRAM OPTION.
Funded Enrollment is the total number of enrollees (children and pregnant women) your program was funded to serve
for the 2008-2009 enrollment year, regardless of funding source. Report the total number of enrollees funded to
participate in the Head Start program, including those paid for by non-ACF funds (e.g., state or other non-Federal funds).
Unless otherwise directed, enrollees include children and pregnant women.
NOTE: Programs that receive non-ACF funds as a supplement (i.e., to extend the hours of service for children/pregnant women)
should count those slots as ACF Funded. Only when services to enrollees are fully supported by non-ACF funds should they report
those participants as non-ACF Funded.

FUNDED ENROLLMENT.

Must be numeric

2. ACF FUNDED HEAD START OR EARLY HEAD START ENROLLMENT.
The number of children (and pregnant women for EHS programs) that you have been funded by ACF to serve, as
stated on the most recent Financial Assistance Award.
3.

NON-ACF FUNDED HEAD START OR EARLY HEAD START ENROLLMENT.
The number of enrollees funded by a source other than ACF who receive comprehensive services in compliance
with Head Start Program Performance Standards (e.g., slots funded by the state or local school district).

4.

TOTAL FUNDED HEAD START OR EARLY HEAD START ENROLLMENT FROM ALL SOURCES (A.2 through A.3 above).

PIR 2009 (Version 12.0) – 6/20/2008

Definition of terms used in the Funded Enrollment by Program Option table.
ƒ

Average Annual Days refers to the number of days that the program served children during the enrollment year. Do NOT average
in days attended for pregnant women. Explain in "Comments" if necessary.
Home Visits refers to the visits made by home visitors in a home-based option for the purpose of assisting parents in fostering the
growth and development of their child. These visits may also be made to pregnant women in EHS programs.
Child Care Partners are arrangements with child care centers or family child care homes to provide services to Head Start
enrolled children. Services provided by the child care partners meet the Head Start Performance Standards. Examples include
partnering child care centers or family child care homes where Head Start children receive the full package of Head Start services
as well as child care. PIR questions regarding child care partnerships apply only to those providers with whom the Head Start or
Early Head Start program has made such an arrangement.

ƒ
ƒ

To Determine Average Annual Days:
Multiply the number of days per week your program operated by the number of weeks in your enrollment year. If the program includes more
than one center and each operates for a different number of days, determine the average number of days across centers (rounded to the nearest
whole number). For example, if one center operates 4 days a week and one operates 5 days a week, both for 32 weeks, the average number of
days equals (4 X 32) = 128; (5 X 32) = 160; (128 + 160)/2 = 144.

ƒ
ƒ

Full-day and Part-day Enrollment is based on the number of hours per day children spend in the Head Start center, even if nonACF funds contribute to the hours (e.g., Head Start and State Pre-K funds allow a program to operate full-day).
Early Head Start programs should include pregnant women where applicable in Column 1; do not include pregnant women in
Column 2.

C. Child & Family Services

Selected items in this section require data to be reported at two points in time during the operating period – at the time of
enrollment and at the end of the enrollment year.
‰

Report on ALL children enrolled during the course of the enrollment year in both columns, including drop-outs and late
enrollees.
‰ At Enrollment refers to the status of the individual enrollee at the time of enrollment (i.e., include the status of children who
enrolled mid-year).
At End of Enrollment refers to the status of each enrollee at the end of his or her enrollment in the program (i.e., include the status
of enrollees who dropped mid-year).

HEALTH SERVICES
Health information should be obtained from the medical, dental, and immunization records of all children served for any length
of time during this operating period.
ƒ Medicaid enrolled means that the child has been officially certified as eligible for Medicaid paid services. It does not include
children who are thought to be eligible but have not been officially certified. Include children enrolled in Medicaid for any
length of time during this operating period.
ƒ SCHIP enrolled means that the child has been officially certified as eligible to receive services covered by the State Children's
Health Insurance Program, a federal-state partnership administered by the state under broad federal guidelines. The program
may be known as "SCHIP" or function under a different name. Include children enrolled in SCHIP for any length of time.
Refer to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Medicaid/StatePlans/map.asp to
determine the name of the program in your state.

Several items request information on child health status “within the operating period or within the last 12 months.” Note when
responding to these items that the intent is to determine the number of children who were up-to-date on their exams through the end of
the enrollment year; not at the time when the PIR is being completed, which is likely to be after the enrollment year has ended.
Example: A child whose physical exam was complete as of 8/1 in a program whose enrollment year is September 1 to May 15
would be up-to-date throughout the enrollment year; regardless of when the PIR report is being completed.
ƒ If applicable, use the "Comments" section to explain why children are not receiving medical, dental, or immunization services.
