 BayShore School does not provide transcripts for students unless specifically requested by parents.
If your child has already transferred out of BayShore School, duplicate copies of the student cumulative files and/or transcripts cannot be obtained. Once the student files have left the possession of BayShore School, no records are maintained except for dates of enrollment, and where the files were sent. BayShore School cannot "create" transcripts after the student records have been transferred out.
Please do not call to request your children's records. BayShore School also does not receive or send faxes of transcripts or other official paperwork - please advise your new school of this. All requests should be mailed to:
BayShore School
P.O.. Box 13038
Long Beach, CA 90803
BayShore School has adopted a new policy regarding the transferring of records to new schools, effective immediately:
| Any student who transfers out of BayShore School and requests records be forwarded to a new school will be subject to covering shipping and handling charges if the records to be sent weigh over 13 oz. Any package over 13 oz. requires a trip to the post office, and in some cases a considerable amount of postage (such as students with IEPs that generate exceptionally large amounts of paper). This cost will vary, depending on the weight of the package, whether a special mailing box/envelope must be purchased, and a flat fee for handling. Upon receipt of a records request (either from a new school or from the parent), BayShore School will respond to the enrolled family with an email stating whether or not such a fee will be levied, and if so, the amount due and payment instructions. |
Postage rates continue to increase regularly and this past year, there have been a large number of students (primarily those with IEPs) who have been in public schools prior to enrolling with BayShore School, have decided to return to public schools, then after a time, decide to return to BayShore. Many of these files are ridiculously enormous (why schools can't put all of this data on disks is beyond logic) and the shipping costs have been following suit.
Local families may opt to pick up their records in person and completely avoid these costs. If you are interested in doing so, please email BayShore School to arrange a pick-up time.
Leaving BayShore School ?
We are sorry to see you go - we wish you much success with your new choices.
• If you are filing your own R-4 PSA, your child(ren)’s cumulative file(s) will be forwarded to you only after you have submitted a records request from your new school. Click here for a sample records request letter and view the checklist on the "Getting Started" webpage. This must be submitted by USPS. Requests received via telephone, voice mail, fax, email, or in-person will not be acknowledged. No exceptions.
• If you are enrolling your child(ren) in a new school/private ISP/charter program/private school, all requests for record transfers must be submitted by USPS and received no later than September 1, 2008. Requests for records received after this date will delay the transfer of records to the new school. BayShore School will begin to process this latter group of requests starting on October 1, 2008. No exceptions.
• If you are leaving the state, but plan to continue to homeschool, please request your records in the same manner as the R-4 PSA.
Costs:
• Requests for Transcripts (grades 9-12)
first one is free, each additional one is $20.00
• Requests for Transcripts (grades other than 9-12) is $30.00/each **
• Emergency Requests $50.00 per form
(Needed in less than 7 working days)
**BayShore School does not prepare transcripts for children enrolled in grades K - 8 unless a parent specifically requests them because the child will be returning to a traditional schooling environment or for documentation for public assistance agencies. However, you must inform BayShore School of this need when you enroll otherwise additional fees will be charged for the emergency requests.
