Congratulations to Townview Choir’s Jason Funes-Metpally for earning a spot in the Texas All State Choir. This is the most prestigious and elite All State Choir in the country. Thousands of students audition and only a small number make it in. Jason is the first student in our school’s history to be selected for the choir.
Dallas Independent School District has partnered with GreenLight Credentials to provide our students with instant access to their transcripts and other academic credentials!
Whether you need to send an official transcript electronically or print an unofficial copy for your own records, you’ll be able to request and access your official transcript from GreenLightLocker.com instantly, and from anywhere (as long as you have an internet connection).
Deadline to have all SEM students registered in Greenlight is Friday, Jan. 24th.
NOTE: If you already have an account on GreenLightLocker.com (maybe you are taking dual credit courses at DCCCD), then there is no need to create another account on GreenLightLocker.com.
*Obtain your GreenLight enrollment code from the letter given on Jan. 8 and Jan. 9. You may also stop by the office for a new copy of your enrollment code.
If you do not have an account on GreenLightLocker.com, you must register on the GreenLightLocker.com website to access your transcripts.
To set up a GreenLight profile:
If you are under the age of 18, you will require your parent approval before you can send transcripts to educational institutions or others.
After you have registered on GreenLightLocker.com, ask your parent or guardian to also register on GreenLightLocker.com by selecting “I’m a parent/guardian” checkbox on the GreenLight registration page. The same enrollment code must be used by the parent to register themselves.
The link below provides access to the list of institutions to which the students will be able to send transcripts directly using the “Send to the Academic institution” option.

Greenlight is working with several institutions to enable the electronic sending through SPEEDE and that should be available in the coming months. The students can use the “Send to Employers/Others (via email)” option to send transcripts to any institution that provides an email address for transcript vendors to send their transcripts to. This information is usually found on the college/university websites. The email will be sent from GreenLight Credentials and not from the student directly to the institution. For example, please see the Texas A&M website which lists an email address for transcript vendors to send transcripts to https://tamusbs.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1657/~/electronic-transcript

The second annual SEM hot cocoa bar was a success! Students were thrilled to be greeted with a cup of delicious White Rock Coffee hot cocoa as they completed their last exam on Thursday, December 19th. A big thank you to all of the wonderful parents who came to help set-up and serve. It was quite a rush serving 500 students and our SEM parents ourhandled it like professional hot cocoa baristas! It would not have been possible without each and every one of our volunteers…THANK YOU!!!
A huge thank you for all of the SEM families who donated to the holiday cookie bar. There were so many delicious treats to choose from and the SEM staff members had a lot of fun packing up their holiday boxes. It was the perfect way to kick off winter break. Thank you SEM families for the generous gift of your time…it was appreciated greatly!
¡Ya casi son las vacaciones de invierno, así que demostrémosles a nuestros maestros y al personal de SEM cuánto los apreciamos con un buffet de galletas! ¡Qué forma tan divertida de comenzar las vacaciones de invierno!
We were so excited to celebrate our amazing seniors with a Breakfast of Champions! Let’s congratulate all our hardworking students for getting all their college applications submitted and reaching the halfway point of their LAST YEAR of high school!
