This completely depends on what needs further information. Will it help your application to have details about your ECs? Or are your 9th grade grades so terrible and your story so profound that it needs (and can benefit from) further explanation? Don't feel the need to put something in there just b/c it's available.

I did both. I added an EC and then I explained why I lacked them 9th and 10th grade and provided an explanation for my sucky math sat II scores.
