First and foremost welcome to SCELA. We look forward to a wonderful high school journey with you! We know transitioning to a virtual school can lead to many questions, so we hope this FAQs sheet can answer some.

If you were accepted into SCELA during the Spring 2024 Semester, please book an advisement appointment with a school counselor. During this appointment students will select their courses for next school year.

CCPSS students can apply for a work permits manually or electronically.  The instructions for both methods are listed below:

Manual Process

I’ve attached a copy of the work permit data sheet if the student prefer the process by paper.  The form has two sections:

-       Section A (Completed by the Minor)

-       Section B (Completed by the Employer)

After sections A and B are completed,  the student will email the form to the Issuing Officer, Mr. Ronald Aikens at Ronald.aikens@sccpss.com or deliver it to Mr. Aikens at 402 Market Street Savannah, GA 31408.

or

Online Process

The online work permit data sheet has three sections. 

-       Section A (Completed by the Minor)

-       Section B (Completed by the Employer)

-       Section C (Completed by the Issuing Officer).

The instructions for obtaining an online Employment Certificate (commonly called work permit) are listed in the link here https://dol.georgia.gov/child-labor-employment-certificate-instructions

Students who wish to receive their driver's permit, they must be in good academic standing, meaning students must have zero to little attendance concerns and have no grade lower than a 75%. The principal will review your grades and attendance before approving your Certificate of Enrollment.

Once your Certificate of Enrollment is signed, you will need to pay a $5.00 fee through School Cash, and have the form notarized.
