(Students who first entered 9 th grade in or after 2004 -05 must still meet the reading and writing standards to be eligible for a diploma. ) The State Student ID number (SSID) has been added to the transcript. The “State Assessments” section has been deleted. The “Additional State Requirements” section has been reformatted
