Working Papers

Student Working Papers

All students between the ages of 14 and 17 are required by Pennsylvania School Law to secure a work permit in order to work. Students who have reached 18, by state law, do not need working papers. (Exceptions to this regulation are 17 year old students who have graduated or have officially withdrawn from school.)

Work Permits are available at the public middle/high school of the district in which the student resides. It is only valid for employment within the State of Pennsylvania.

To start the working papers process, students can stop in at the Guidance office in the middle school or the high school main office and speak with Mrs. Laurie Aten (Middle School) or Mrs. Nicole Maroney (High School).
