2025-2026 SUMMER SCHOOL WORK PERMIT PROCESS (begins June 4 , 2026)
To get a work permit please follow this process, and be aware work permits are regulated by the state so it is a lengthy process. It is impossible to request a work permit on Friday and get it for that weekend. Plan ahead and patience is key!
To renew work permits the same process must be followed all over again!
1. Complete and print an application for a work permit: CDE Form B1-4(DOC)
2. The application must be complete, including your parent/guardian signature, the employer signature, and date. It is necessary to include the social security number. All signatures must be original/wet signatures. No electronic signatures accepted on the B1-1 document.
3. Submit the work permit application to the SDUSD Office of Extended Learning Opportunities from May 26,2026 (TUE) through August 6, 2026 (THUR) from 12 noon- 3:00pm. The office will be open to process work permits on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.
4. Please note that the office is closed Mondays and Fridays.
5. Please allow 1-2 weekdays for the processing of the work permit.
*Work permits expire one week after school starts and minors who are still working must renew their work permit. This can be done at your school site.
Students not attending a San Diego Unified School District School will need to work with the school district within their area of residency to obtain a work permit.
