When to use this form
Use this form when you need an official copy of a record or policy document from your school district. It helps students, parents, and staff request items like enrollment verification, immunization records, attendance reports, or policy handbooks. If you specifically need an official transcript, submit the Transcript request form. When you want the school to send records to another institution, complete the Transcript release authorization form instead. Typical scenarios include a parent preparing a visa application, a graduate verifying enrollment for a job, or a counselor gathering records for a transfer. Your request goes to the right office with all details, so you receive a secure PDF or a printed copy by your preferred deadline.
Must Ask Document Request Questions
- Which document do you need, and why?
Knowing the exact document and purpose ensures we provide the correct version, such as an official copy or notarized record. Your reason also helps us prioritize time-sensitive requests.
- Who is the subject of the record (full legal name, date of birth, and ID if available)?
Precise identifiers let staff find the right file fast and avoid mix-ups with similar names. This reduces back-and-forth and speeds delivery.
- How should we deliver it (secure email, mail, or pickup), and what is your deadline?
Your delivery choice and timeline set clear expectations and prevent delays. It also helps us route the request to the right team for timely processing.
- Do you have permission to receive this record, or who will authorize it?
Confirming authorization protects privacy and keeps the release compliant. If custody has changed, attach legal proof or see the Educational guardianship form.
- Should we limit any information or apply privacy preferences?
Stating restrictions up front allows us to redact sensitive details as needed. To manage directory details more broadly, use the Directory information opt out form.
