Work Permit

California State law requires that all students under eighteen (18) years of age who are employed or wish to be employed have a work permit. This work permit may be obtained in the Attendance Office. In order to obtain a work permit, the minor and his/her parent or guardian must provide the issuing authority with the minor's school record, evidence of age, and written statements from the prospective employer.

A student may not work and attend school for a combined total of more than eight (8) hours on any school day. Students working too many hours a day or week and not having regular attendance can have their work permits voided by the site administrator in charge of attendance. The site administrator can void a work permit if the student is not in good academic standing and/or maintain regular attendance while working!
