Scholar Transcripts The school is the ultimate guardian of a scholar’s transcript and transcripts can only be released in certain circumstances and when certain criteria are met. The only person who may request a transcript outside of another school or legal authority is the child’s guardian (or the child if they are 18 or older). When making a transcript request, the school requires a four day window of time to process and prepare a transcript. Transcripts will never be given on the same day they are requested. The school may not release transcripts if there are pending accounts to be settled with the school. This includes final transcripts for scholars necessary to matriculate to college. If a scholar wants to withdraw from the school, the school may request that the parent/guardian/scholar attend a meeting with the principal or a dean prior to the release of the transcript. Official end-of-year transcripts (those including data for the current school year) are only available after August 1 following the end of the school year for scholars finishing grades 9 to 11. Those needing official transcripts prior to that point will be given an official transcript ending in the year prior and the current year final report card. Grading Policies Exam Courses All final grades for AFAHS courses are calculated based on the published grades students earn throughout the year. These grades are referred to in Infinite Campus as “grading tasks.” All grading task percentages are pre-set by the school in the Infinite Campus Grade Book. The names of the grading tasks and their percentages are as follows:
