TRANSCRIPTS & RECORDS Wheeler maintains permanent records for students currently enrolled. Records of graduates or withdrawn students are kept for one additional year or until the date of graduation. For two years, former students may request from the high school that their transcript be mailed to a designated college / institution. After that, former students need to go through the County office to request records. All students 18 years of age or older must request their own transcripts.
WITHDRAWALS The enrolling adult should set up a withdrawal appointment in the School Counseling suite. The enrolling adult must accompany the student and sign the withdrawal paperwork. Please bring a picture ID for withdrawal procedures. All books and schoolissued devices must be returned and fees paid to clear records before withdrawing. This should be done no later than the last day the student will be in school.
