Overview: Pocono Mountain School District Policy 216, Student Records, outlines the District policy for official high school transcript requests. The District will provide an official copy of a graduate’s transcript to a college, university, trade school, etc., upon receipt of a signed request form from the graduate.The Student Transcript is the permanent record that documents each student’s grades and credits. It
includes selected demographic information, yearly attendance, cumulative grade average, class rank,
proficiency levels from the Keystone Exams, and, if applicable, SAT and Industry-Based Credentials.
Once issued, transcripts cannot be revised unless evidence is provided to indicate that the transcript is
materially inaccurate. A student with such evidence can petition for a transcript revision. The teacher of
the course and school guidance counselor will then review the transcript to determine its accuracy,
consulting with the school principal where necessary. The school guidance counselor will be responsible
for issuing a revised transcript where it is deemed appropriate.New Graduates: Transcript requests for students who graduated in June of the current year should be made through the high school guidance department up until September 1.
