DVC 10th – 12th grade students, and the Class of 2024, can access their Da Vinci Communications transcript using Parchment!

Students can log-in using their Da Vinci Communications email address and password.

Parchment provides you with the ability to request official transcripts online and have them sent electronically and securely to colleges, universities, or scholarship programs that you select.  You can also send them to yourself!  After you make your request, your official high school transcript will be processed.  When your request has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation. Please click on this link to visit Parchment and request your transcripts: Da Vinci Communications Transcript Request | Parchment

Class of 2024

Your final high school transcript will be sent by the end of this week to the college you reported in Naviance as your final destination college.  Please allow a couple weeks for the college to process your transcript. You can also send an additional copy via Parchment to ensure that the college of your choice received the document.

For any questions, please contact Ms. Aldrete (maldrete@davincischools.org)

Have a great summer!
