Steps To Obtaining A Work Permit While School is in Session 

You will secure employment prior to getting a work permit. Read and sign the Work Permit Instructions and the (B1-1) Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor form. This is a two step process:

1. B1-1 Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor form and the Work Permit Instructions form can be dropped off with Security at the Front Office on Mondays or Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Make sure you have the forms completed and signed or it could cause a delay in processing.
2. Executed work permits can be picked up on Mondays and Thursdays between 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.  Students must pick up the work permit since it requires their signature.

Available Credits: If you are interested in work experience credits, please see your counselor for more information.  All work experience students (including 18 year olds) are required to have a work permit.
