Work Permit Info
Minors under the age of 16 are required to have a work permit. To obtain a permit a Work Permit Packet must be completed and returned to the Counseling Office Secretary. The packet includes sections that must be completed by the employer so students need to have a job lined up before submitting the packet. Paper copies of the packet are available in the Counseling Office. A digital copy of the packet is available here.
Please contact the Counseling Office Secretary with any additional questions.
