Requests for Student-Related Paperwork and Information

To better assist in the completion and return of student recommendations and evaluations, please use the following procedure when asking teachers or staff members to complete paperwork related to private schools and medical evaluations, etc. Please bring paperwork to the Counseling Office.  Include student name, grade level, and a list of people to provide information.

1. The counseling office will distribute/collect the paperwork to/from the appropriate teachers. We will also provide any additional information that may be requested, i.e., test scores, transcripts, discipline records, etc.
2. Paperwork will be sent directly to the person, group, or school for whom the information is requested.  It will not be returned to the student/parent/guardian.
3. Please allow at least five business days for all student recommendations and evaluations to be completed.
