Transcript Changes 

Updates to our Synergy Student Information System are now allowing us to add two information fields to student transcripts: attendance and Bilingual Seal. Attendance data has been a required element of the transcript, but until now, system limitations had kept us from providing it. Therefore, all current students* requesting their transcript will now see attendance data for their four years of high school, and those students who earn a Bilingual Seal on their diploma will see that information reflected as well.

*Please note that attendance data will not be provided on the transcripts of past graduates.
