Requesting Student Records
Students who are 18 or older, their parents, and other K-12 schools where students have enrolled may request a student’s record. Fees may be charged for copies of records, including certified copies of transcripts. See Policy 4204.2 Fees for Copies of Records and Policy 2105.1 Public Documents. No fees will be charged for copies of records to be mailed directly to students’ new K-12 schools.

School records pave the way!
- The first and most important record in the student’s cumulative education record is the Student Data Sheet that parents complete when students enroll in Durham Public Schools. Your current phone numbers are critical to help us reach you in an emergency. We want to stay in touch with you about your child’s school experience, too. Fax or send an updated Student Data Sheet to your school if phone numbers, addresses, or emergency contacts have changed. After you fill in your student’s name and date of birth, feel free to just provide the information that’s new. Please sign and date the form.
- Review your high school transcript BEFORE you graduate (and soon thereafter) to be sure that it shows ALL of the courses and credits that you earned. Be sure that the ACTUAL DATE of graduation appears. It should include your test scores and COMPLETE immunization record too. (That will be especially important if you’re heading to college or to work in a health services environment!)
