How do I request a transcript?  Contact the JHS office to request a "Transcript Release Form".  One release form per requested transcript is required.  Information required for release form includes student name, date, name and address of school, admission office, scholarship organization,...to which the transcript should be mailed (if JHS needs to mail an official transcript). 

For students requesting transcripts to include with scholarship applications to be mailed by the student, indicate "for student pick up" on the release form.
If a cumulative GPA is requested rather than a core GPA, indicate this on the release form.  

Transcripts should be requested two weeks prior to the date needed.  The first 3 transcripts are free.  Each additional transcript is $4.00.   

FINAL TRANSCRIPTS FOR GRADUATING SENIORS:

1.  "Final Transcript Release Forms" will be provided to seniors through English teachers.  Students must list the name and address of each college to which a final transcript should be sent.  This includes the college you will attend AND any college from which you earned DUAL ENROLLMENT CREDIT (if this differs from the college you will attend).

2.  Final transcripts will be mailed shortly after graduation.  Colleges require a final high school transcript prior to allowing you to register for and attend classes. 

3.  Dual enrollment students should allow time for the high school transcript to reach the college providing the dual enrollment credit, then contact that college to request the college transcript be sent to the school you will attend.  JHS does not send college credit/transcripts.

4.  Seniors will not be charged for final transcripts requested prior to the end of the school year.

5.  Do not leave requests for transcripts on guidance voicemail during the summer.

6.  Remember, there is a 2-week notice required for the mailing of transcripts when we return to school in August.  Don't forget to request your final transcripts before graduation.
