How to get your Reedy High School Transcript

Transcripts must be ordered through Parchment at the link below. 

https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/5829745/account

All students will receive an email with their access code. This is sent at the beginning of each year. Search your email for “Parchment” as you will have one that gives your access code. Do not create multiple accounts. If you can not find your access code please contact Shanna Stalder stalders@friscoisd.org 

If you are needing help with the ordering process, please visit the Parchment Support page for the step-by-step instructions. Click the “home” tab at the top of the support page for several helpful click sheets. We have also linked click sheets below. 

• How to order a self view

• How to order a transcript- general 

Do not submit Common App transcripts to Parchment. You will need to add your counselor as a recommender to Common app and she will upload the transcript there. 

Once you have set up your account, you MUST add a personal email address to your account. This will ensure that you always have access to this account, even after graduation. 

Our registrar is alerted through Parchment for every transcript ordered. The whole process can take from 3-5 days during high processing times. Please be sure to plan accordingly to be sure you take this delay into consideration for approaching deadlines. 

Should any issues arise, please contact Shanna Stalder at stalders@friscoisd.org 

If you need help with technical issues, you must contact Parchment Support directly, or visit the links below

Unofficial Transcripts: 

You can view/print the self view transcript that is stored in your Parchment account. Be sure to update this periodically as the view you see is only from the last time YOU updated it, not necessarily the last time WE updated your transcript. Make sure to pay close attention

Your Reedy counselors will work to make the deadlines listed in Common App. The Common App does not notify us if you are trying to submit your application early. The date listed will be their first application deadline. If you are needing your Counseling rec letter and school profile, or transcript submitted before the deadline listed in Common app, you will need to notify your counselor in writing of your date. In addition, if you are needing a recommendation letter with your application, from your counselor, you must submit the Letter of Recommendation request and allow them at least 10 business days to process.  The link can be found here for the letter of recommendation request.
