Class of 2027 Transcript Update

Dear Class of 2027, Parents and Guardians,

We hope that you and your families are doing well and enjoying the final days of summer. As the fall season approaches, we are pleased to announce that your unofficial high school transcript is now ready to view in PowerSchool. For seniors, the transcript is a record of all coursework completed in grades 9-11, and includes courses in progress. It is not to be used to send to colleges/universities. The counselors will send an official version of your transcript directly to any college or university to which you apply in September. The transcript you will see in PowerSchool is for your personal viewing purposes only.

Before the start of school, please do the following:

Access your unofficial transcript in PowerSchool by clicking on PLS Vault Documents on the left side of your PowerSchool screen (see vault document image in the above right corner). Once you are inside of PLS Vault Documents, use the dropdown to select transcript, and download your unofficial transcript.

Review the information on your unofficial transcript, including your name, address, and all coursework completed. Occasionally, we will find a typo or error on the transcript and need your help to ensure that documents sent to colleges in your name are accurate. Summer School 2026 classes will be added to transcripts over the next few weeks.
Review your GPA, which has been updated on your transcript. Your GPA is the cumulative grade point average from courses taken in 9th through 11th grades, and it is the GPA you will use on all applications. Your GPA is reported on a weighted 5.0 scale. We do not calculate unweighted GPA.
Notify our school registrar, Mrs. Kate Wosczyna, (wosczym@lmsd.org) by September 11th with any necessary changes to your transcript.
If you are ready to apply to colleges, please review College Application Checklist #1 at the bottom of the page.

There will be a welcome meeting for seniors only at the start of the school year to briefly address any preliminary questions about transcripts, letters of recommendation and the college application process. For an in-depth review of the college application process and timelines, please join us in-person in the Harriton Auditorium on Thursday, September 24th at 6:00 PM for our annual Post-Secondary Planning Process Night for Seniors. This program is a “must attend” for families to feel informed and prepared to apply to college in the 2026-27 school year. It cannot be overstated that the college application process is an individualized one, and each student is in a different stage of planning. We want you to take your time with completing your applications first. We will start sending official transcripts and related school documents the week of September 28th for students with Early Decision and Early Action deadlines, and any other early deadlines you may have.

All transcripts requests must be made using a Transcript Release Form, which will be sent to you mid-September. We ask that all transcript forms be received at least 15 school days prior to your first application deadline. The Transcript Release form must be submitted to us as a hard copy with original signatures from both the student and parent/guardian. Seniors may turn in additional transcript release forms later as you add colleges to your list in the fall without a parent/guardian signature, but the first release form must have one. Please do not send the form in a Google doc or as an attachment to an email.

Again, official transcripts will not be sent to colleges until September 28th.

We ask that you email Mrs. Wosczyna and/or your assigned school counselor for help so we can help you approach the fall with positivity and a successful mindset! Please let us know how we can help you be successful!

Sincerely,

Your Harriton Counseling Team
