Mid-Year Transcripts Available Today
Seniors who applied to a college through Common App required a mid-year transcript with semester 1 grades included. Counselors will upload their updated transcripts to Common App starting today. No action is required on your part, as Common App will flag colleges that need this information.
Seniors who need a transcript for a non-Common App college must request it starting today, the Scriborder. Select "Current Student" and complete the form. The college will receive the transcript electronically.
Community Event: Understanding Vape Culture
Cambridge High School is partnering with Pathways2Life to help parents understand today’s vaping culture and provide better support to teens as they navigate the challenging decisions they are facing. Through honest and relatable storytelling, P2L will shed light on the challenges many teens experience and highlight pathways to healing and resilience. This engaging presentation encourages open conversations about mental health and empowers both parents and students to seek support, connect with each other, and embrace their personal journeys.
We hope you can join us on January 16, 2025, at 6:00 pm. This is a community event, so please invite other parents to join.
