Stop by the Counseling Office to fill out a transcript request form from Mrs. Smith. Although we strive to get the requested transcripts done the same day, we ask that you allow at least a 24-hour turnaround time. Make sure to order as many as you need for any colleges and scholarships you will apply.  
Current students can access their transcripts through their Aeries Portal. Simply click on Grades and scroll down to the Transcripts section. Students can then view the transcript for information needed for college applications and scholarships.  
 
Former Student Transcripts
To order a transcript, the student should contact the Main Office at 209-838-7073.  If we are unable to answer your call, please leave a message with the following information:
  • Full name used during school

Let us know if you need official or unofficial transcripts and the number of copies we should send.
