Certification of School Attendance (Driver’s License Form)
According to the Mississippi Law, “a Certificate of School Attendance Status is required for all young people applying for a Driver’s Permit and a Driver’s License.”
Transcripts are a record of the courses your child completed in high school--the name of each course, the credit he earned for each course, each course’s final grade, personal information for identification purposes, and a grade point average (GPA). Membership in HSLDA may be needed for complete access to the sample transcripts.
Taking the ACT will help prepare students for college and career success.
If you are coping with financial hardship or loss, HSLDA offers two types of Compassion Grants to help hurting families. If you're currently homeschooling and struggling financially, apply now to see if we can assist your family with a grant for the upcoming school year!
