Post-Secondary Midyear report info for seniors: Seniors, you do not need to request or pay for a midyear report to be sent to most colleges/universities. Mrs. Marr maintains a list of all Common Application transcripts initially sent out, and we automatically send midyears for those applications. They will be sent after term 2 grades are finalized in February. If you applied to a school that did not use the Common App and need a midyear sent, please contact Mrs. Marr at terri.marr@wayzataschools.org
