Here are some important things to remember: 

• Social security numbers are REQUIRED, not optional

• Signatures are required from the student, parent/guardian, AND employer

• Photo ID is required when picking up your work permit

• Work permits must be renewed each year

• Students must maintain a 2.0 or above GPA and have good attendance

*Students who do not meet this requirement will be put on a Work Permit Probationary Contract giving them a chance to raise their grades and improve their attendance record by an agreed date. If students cannot meet this requirement, their work permit may be pulled and their employer informed they are not able to work until they meet the requirements.
