Work Permits

Students under the age of 18 are required to have a work permit in order to work. Here are the steps for getting a work permit:

1. Make sure your grades are good and you're on track to graduate so you'll be approved.
2. Apply for jobs and get hired for one.
3. Pick up a work permit application (green) from the Guidance Office or click here.
4. Fill out the application and make sure your parent and employer fill out and sign their parts.
5. Bring your work permit application to the Guidance Office. You must turn it in to her in person because you will have your private social security number on the application.
6. Pick up your work permit from the Guidance Office during snack or lunch one or two days later.
