Senior Portraits - Class of 2024
Hello Families of the Class of 2024,
It is time to schedule senior portraits. All yearbook portraits must be taken by Keane Studios. Please schedule a sitting this summer. Incoming seniors should've received an email from Keane with a link to an account already set up for your senior. If at registration you opted out of sharing information with 3rd party partners, you will need to contact Keane directly to set up an account: https://www.keaneseniors.com/book-session
We want every senior in the yearbook, so please make a plan for portraits!

How to Order Senior Final Transcripts
Most seniors will need to order final transcripts, which include Trimester 3 grades and a graduation status, to be sent to their college of choice. Below are the different options students have to do this.
1. For a fee, students/parents can have a transcript sent to any institution through parchment.com. Parchment will send the transcript to the designated institution(s) either electronically or by USPS. For a final transcript, please choose the HOLD FOR GRADES option when ordering final high school transcripts through parchment. Students/parents can request an “Unofficial Self View – No Fee” transcript copy from parchment.com for scholarships and personal use which can be emailed to them directly.
2. Alternatively, current students/parents can fill out the 2023 Final Transcript form and return it to the registrar via email, USPS or fax (see below) and a transcript can be sent to the student or institution via USPS at no cost to the student. If the student is under 18 years of age or has delegated their rights to their parents, then the parent must sign the form.
All forms can be submitted via:
EMAIL - mbourget@powayusd.com
FAX - 858.748.1132
USPS:

2023 GRADUATES: Final transcript requests are sent to colleges by the delivery method specified by each student on their Final Transcript Request form. It can take up to 2 weeks following graduation for transcripts to be fully processed and sent. Once the College Admission Offices receives final transcripts, they ask that students allow at least 3 weeks for them to update "received" in student portals. During the processing time, parents/student may continue to receive email/notifications from the admissions office indicating that the transcript has not been received. Thank you in advance for your patience.

988 - National Suicide Prevention
People in crisis and those trying to help them have a new three-digit phone number, 988, to reach the national suicide prevention network. Mental health experts are hoping that the three-digit number will deliver a breakthrough in assisting people in crisis who may otherwise try to harm themselves.
People who call, text, or chat 988 will be able to reach trained counselors who belong to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network.
For non-urgent matters on campus, Mrs. Struck, our Student Services Specialist, is in K25 to listen and answer questions in a safe atmosphere of acceptance, non-judgment, and confidentiality concerning a variety of life’s challenges. K25 is in the Counseling Building.
