School Requesting Records

Seattle Public Schools is now using a web-based application to help us manage all student records requests from other schools for transferring students.

Requests received via fax, phone calls, emails and mail from other schools will no longer be accepted.

All transferring student records requests must be submitted online using the K-12 Transfer application.This application is a secure, self-service application that is easy to use:

Site Access. Go to Scribbles K-12 Records Transfer
Sign in to an existing account OR Create Account. If you do not already have a K-12 Transfer account, one will need to be created.
- A school email address must be used to set up the account; personal email addresses will not be accepted.
- Once an account has been created, the credentials for the account will be verified. This process takes approximately 24 hours.
- An account only needs to be verified once.
- A “Your registration has been verified” email notification will be sent when the account has been completed.

Teacher Recommendations

Your request(s) for a teacher recommendation should be addressed to the teacher from whom you require a recommendation.

Please provide a standard business sized envelope (addressed to the applicant school with adequate postage to cover at least two ounces.) This is required for each school you are applying. It is also courteous to ask the teachers in advance (via e-mail) if they would be willing to fill out the forms, before dropping the forms off in their mailbox at the school.

Please submit requests early. The teachers and staff will process recommendations as time permits during their normal work schedule.

The Main Office does not coordinate Teacher Recommendations. It is the student’s responsibility to work with teachers for the recommendations.

If you have any more questions, please contact the Registrar. sbfitzwaterr@seattleschools.org
