Transcript Request
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
- Year of graduation
- Birthdate
- Phone number
- Mailing address to send the transcript to
Let us know if you need official or unofficial transcripts and the number of copies we should send.
Graduation Verification Requests
All requests for graduation verifications should be faxed to 209-838-6127. Please allow for a 24-72 hour turnaround time.
Work Permits
Students (under age 18) interested in working must obtain a work permit. The "official work permit" will be given to the student once they have secured employment. Applications for Work Permits can be found outside of the Main Office and in the Counseling Center.
At this time you may also download a fillable version of the application (Click on the image above) and return the completed application to Mrs. Smith at [email protected].
Below are the criteria for students to obtain a work permit by age range:

Counseling Services - Mental Health Referral
