Work Permits

Obtaining a Work Permit 

1.  The students under age 16 are required to have a work permit. The student should stop in Student Services to pick up a work permit application form when they start looking for a job. The high school will need a social security number and a copy of their birth certificate before they can process the work permit. 

2. When the employer offers you the job, have them fill out the work permit application form. It is important that they read the guidelines for the hours you can work. It is important that the employer fills out the blanks: name, type of work, hours employed, employer signature, company name, company address, zip code. 

3. When the work permit application is completed by the employer, the student or parent presents it to the secretary in Student Services. The parent must sign the form in front of the secretary that he/she approves of the hours the student will be employed. 

4. The secretary will type the work permit and notify the student when they can pick it up. 
The student may not work until they have the typed work permit to present to the employer. The student will receive a copy of the permit.
