Student Services, What we do
• Upon receipt of a transcript request, we begin the process of
understanding what is required, due dates and putting the pieces
of the application together.
• Each packet that we submit includes a transcript, a Secondary
School Report, the school profile, the FCPS profile and if
requested, a counselor letter.
• We mail, via USPS, all Common App requests
• If a college uses, eDocs, we submit the materials electronically
through Family Connection
• All submissions are mailed by the college due date. If your college
requires to receive materials by the due date, please communicate
that to us.

• Work closely with your school counselor.
– Be patient - each counselor has approximately 80
seniors and are also working with 220 underclassmen
– Counselors complete packets by the application
deadlines (NOT by date the student turns in the
transcript form)
– Monitor college websites for application status
– Inform Transcript Assistant (Mrs. Morehouse) ASAP if
a college notifies you that the transcript package did
not arrive.
– Keep in mind there is a “lag time” to match all pieces
of application
• Adhere to DEADLINES-- work with us so we get your
package to your colleges on time.
