As a service to families applying to private / boarding / overseas / international schools, or applying to summer programs, our counselor and teaching staff will assist in the application process as outlined below. Please note this policy does not apply to 12th grade students who are applying to colleges and universities for post-secondary education; their letters of recommendation, official transcripts, and other items are handled through BridgeU and outline in the ISD University Agreement Form.
针对正在申请私立、寄宿，海外，其他国际学校或者正在申请暑期课程的家庭，我们学校顾问和教学部团队将会提供以下的协助服务。请注意，此政策不适用于正在向大学或相关院校申请高等教育课程的12年级毕业班学生。毕业班学生的推荐信，官方成绩单及相关文件需通过BridgeU或其他在ISD大学申请协议中列举的平台处理。

The primary responsibility is on the parents and students for tracking the application paperwork and timelines. Families should check what the deadlines are in order for the schools / programs to receive the completed applications, and then count back at least 4 weeks to do all the paperwork. If applicable, allow an additional 1-2 weeks for international mail to arrive on time. Families who need to request certificates of attendance, letters of recommendation, official transcripts and other documents from ISD must do so at least 2 full weeks (10 working days) before the application deadlines.

家长与学生的首要职责是确认申请所需文件和文件提交的时间。为确保所申请的学校或项目机构能及时收到所需文件，申请家庭需要确认相关文件递交的截止日期，在截止日期四周前提交文件申请。如申请的文件需要寄往国外，请预留1-2周的国际快递派送时间。所有在读证明，推荐信，官方成绩单或其他ISD文件，需要在文件递交截止日期前至少2周（10个工作日）提交申请。

OUR STEP-BY-STEP PROTOCOL 我们文件的申请流程

To ensure that you get the necessary paperwork done on time and efficiently – while also being respectful of faculty’s time and energy – students, parents, counselors and teachers will follow the step-by-step protocol described below:

为了确保您能按时获取你所需要的正确文件，同时又尊重教师的时间与精力。学生、家长、学校顾问以及全体教师将遵循以下的文件申请流程：


1. The parent or guardian (not the student) must fill in a withdrawal form from the ISD Admissions Department. The ISD Admissions Department will notify the appropriate counselor and administrator of a family’s decision to withdraw from ISD. The only exception to this step is when families request a Certificate of Attendance for travel/visa purposes, in which case they can immediately fill out the ISD Document Request Form.
1、如您家庭出于旅行/签证目的需要出具在读证明，可直接通过ISD文件申请表提交申请。除此以外，家长或监护人（非学生）必须填写ISD招生部的退学申请表，在ISD招生部将此决定告知相应的学校顾问和管理人员后方可提交申请。

2. The parent or guardian completes the ISD Document Request Form, located on the ISD school website and must clearly state which schools / programs they will be applying to; this form is also used to request all the required documents for each school / program. ISD staff have up to 10 working days to complete all requests.
2、家长或监护人必须通过ISD学校网站上的ISD文件申请表申请所需文件，请清楚说明您将申请的学校/课程；申请学校/课程的所有必需文件都需要通过此表格申请。 ISD相关工作人员会在10个工作日内完成。

Letters of recommendation and official transcripts will only be submitted from ISD directly to the school or program of choice. Under no circumstance will these documents be provided to outside agents, parents, or students.
推荐信和官方成绩单只能通过ISD向所申请的学校或课程发送，此类文件不会向第三方机构，家长以及学生提供。

3. The counselor will communicate with teachers / other faculty as needed, review records, request official transcripts, and, if required, complete a counselor recommendation form or letter.
3、学校顾问会根据需要与老师，或相关教学团队人员沟通交流，查看学生成绩记录，申请官方成绩单。必要时会填写顾问推荐信息表或推荐信。

4. Teachers / other faculty will then give their completed recommendation forms / letters directly to the counselor. For online recommendations, teachers / other faculty will complete them also within 10 working days, and then inform the counselor by email that they have been submitted electronically.
4、老师、其他教学团队人员会直接将他们完成的推荐信息表或推荐信交给学校顾问。针对线上的推荐信撰写，老师、其他教学团队人员会在10个工作日内完成，并以邮件的方式告知学校顾问。

5. For each school / program to which a family is applying, the requested documentation will be compiled and sent by the counselor to the receiving school per the method specified in the ISD Document Request Form.
5、学校顾问会通过ISD文件申请表上列举的方法向申请的学校发送所需文件。

6. The counselor or counselor’s assistant will inform parents and students when these documents have been mailed and/or submitted electronically.
6、学校顾问或顾问助理在文件被邮寄或发送后，告知家长或学生。

Processing of Materials 文件制作

Given the process outlined above, it is imperative that students and parents be organized, start their process well in advance of deadlines, and monitor this process along the way! ISD faculty members have 10 working days to complete all requested documents. Students and parents should not request that school / program information and applications be sent directly to ISD or teachers without first following the protocol outlines above. If there are questions, you are welcome to reach out to the appropriate counseling division.

根据以上所列举的申请流程，家长与学生在申请文件时必须合理安排和组织时间，申请过程中需要跟进进度，以确保在文件截止日期前获得相应文件。ISD教职工有10个工作日的时间完成所有申请文书。在未完成以上流程的情况下，学生和家长不得要求ISD及其教职工向申请院校或课程提供任何信息。如您有任何疑问，请联系学校顾问部。

Summer Holidays and Late Requests 暑假或者紧急申请

Please be aware that ISD teachers and staff will not be available to work on recommendations or other application-related documentation over school holidays. Additionally, all requests will be completed in the order that they are received. Therefore, late requests may not be completed on time.
请知悉ISD教职工团体在学校放假期间是无法为您撰写推荐信或其他文件。此外，所有的文件申请按照接收时间完成。因此，我们不能保证能够处理紧急的申请。

Cost of Printed Documents 纸质版文件收费

To promote environmentally friendly printing, beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, ISD will instate costs associated with printed documents. Unofficial digital copies are free for families. For EC/ES/MS files: each student will receive one complete set of student records if requested. Extra official sets will be EC-$20, ES-$25, MS-$30, and HS-$45 per set or RMB equivalency. A duplicate copy of any individual document after the first will cost $5 (or RMB equivalency)/per page. If a family requests an official high school diploma due to loss of the original one, the cost is $75 or RMB equivalency. Payment will need to be made to the Finance Office prior to documents being printed and provided to families.

为了支持环保印刷，从2020-2021学年开始，ISD将对纸质版的文件进行收费。非官方的电子版是免费向家庭提供的，幼儿园、小学和中学：如有需要，我们可以向学生提供纸质文件，且第一套免费。如需要额外的一套文件，幼儿园收费为20美金/套，小学收费为25美金/套，中学30美金/套，而高中则45美金/套或等值人民币。单独一份文件的收费是每页5美金或等值人民币。如因丢失，学生需要申请另一份官方高中毕业证，收费为75美金或等值人民币。相关费用需要在文件打印之前交到财务部。
