Report Cards/Transcripts

Please note the difference between transcripts and report cards. A report card is the Education Specialist's report of grades. A transcript is an official document embossed with the school stamp which is issued by the Charter School office. The transcript shows high school courses, grades, and credits and is accepted as an official record by other high schools and by colleges.

Report Cards for High School Students ESs are responsible for creating report cards for all 9-12 students by submitting report cards to the Career Academy office. Grades are due to the office one week prior to the end of each semester.  The report card information is used by the Student Records to compile a Charter School transcript. If you cannot find the correct course name when creating the report card, contact your ES Advisor.

Copies of Report Cards You will need to make three copies of the report card:

one copy for the office
one copy for your records

one copy for the family

Transcripts for High School Students Any High School Report Card in excess of 40 credits per semester will be placed on hold pending ES Advisor approval. When approval is given, the information will be transposed to the Transcript format. When completing an Report Card, please complete all information asked for. Credits should be submitted as a 2 digit number. (example 0.0 or 5.0)

All inactive high school students must have drop grades and credits submitted. If the student was not in our program long enough to earn grades and credits we must be notified so we are able to determine why no grades or credits were earned during a specific time period. Course titles are available for this type of transmission. By sending us a complete and accurate record of students' progress, we are able to process our Transcripts in a timely manner.

Prior School Transcripts Any information we input on our Charter School Transcript from a prior school must be from an Official Transcript. An Official Transcript cannot be altered in any way and must be signed and/or sealed. We cannot take information that you submit that does not match what is on the Official Transcript.

If the prior school transcript is in the main office, then request a copy from the office. The staff will either pull it from the file or mail the ES a copy of the transcript. If they do not have a transcript/cume file, you can call the high school and ask them to fax the transcript to the main office. That is the quickest way. Some take a couple of months to send cume folders.

The school transcript can reflect the courses/grades/credits for each semester issued by a parent who was previously home schooling via affidavit. It will reflect 'Parent Grades' in the source column of the transcript. The student records office needs a legible document of each year signed by the parent. This is the same process used when the student has info from another school's transcript.
