Central Records (CRO)

  • The Central Records Office is responsible for keeping records for former students.  We provide documentations such as official and unofficial transcripts, proof of attendance, graduation, and education verification.

    • How to request your records/transcript?
    1. Please fill out the Records Request Form
    2. You will receive a response from CRO@PPSD.ORG within 10 business days. 

    Please be advised that there are times when the public records that you seek are not available. The RI Access to Public Records Act allows a public body ten (10) business days to respond and, with “good cause,” may extend the time to respond by twenty (20) business days (thirty (30) business days total).
