Work Permit Information

WORK PERMIT PROCESS

Please follow the steps below in order to obtain a Work Permit.

You must already be hired for a job.
Work permits cannot be issued unless you have secured employment.
Download the Work Permit Application.
(You may obtain the form from the school office or the school website, if applicable.)
Complete the “Student Information” and “School Information” sections of the application.
Have your parent or guardian complete and sign the Parent/Guardian section.
Take the application to your employer and have them complete the Employer section fully.
⚠️ Important: Since the Work Permit is issued to your employer, applications will not be processed without this section completed.
Review the entire application carefully to make sure all sections are complete, clear, and legible.
Submit the completed application to Mrs. Sanchez in Room P4.

Please review the following before turning in your Work Permit application:

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid: Missing signatures, incomplete Employer section, or unreadable handwriting.
🆔 Social Security Number: Be sure to include your Social Security number on the application.
📬 Mailing Address: Clearly write the address where you want your Work Permit mailed.

After You Submit Your Work Permit Application

Important: The Work Permit application is not the actual Work Permit.

Once you submit your Work Permit application, here is what to expect:

Your application is sent to the District Office for review and processing.
⏱ Processing Time: Please allow 2–3 school days for processing.
Once approved, you will receive an email copy of your Work Permit.
- ✅ This emailed copy is enough for you to begin working.
A hard copy of the Work Permit will be mailed to the address you provided shortly after approval.

📌 Work Start Reminder: Students may not begin working until the Work Permit has been officially approved.

You will receive an email notification from the District Office once your Work Permit is approved.
If you do not receive an email after 3 school days, please follow up with Mrs. Sanchez.

📧 Email Reminder:
Check your school email daily, including your spam or junk folder, for updates regarding your Work Permit.

If any information is missing, unclear, or incorrect, you will be contacted to make corrections.
⛔ Processing will not continue until all required sections are completed and accurate.

Work Permits are issued for one specific employer only.
If you change jobs or employers, you must submit a new Work Permit application.
You may not work for a new employer using a permit from a previous employer.

Can I start working before I receive my Work Permit?
❌ No. Students may not begin working until the Work Permit has been approved.
