Work Permit

Work Permit Information

**ALL work permits expire 5 days after the start of the school year. You must renew your work permit at the beginning of the year in order to remain eligible to work.

General Instructions: 

In order to obtain a work permit, you must complete a Work Permit Application Form, found here. Once you, your parent, and employer have completed the form, you may turn it in to our Career Tech in the Career Center or via email to mvhscollegeandcareer@vistausd.org (scan or photo of the work permit is acceptable). Once you submit your form, it will be processed and your work permit will be emailed to you. 

Where can I get a Work Permit Application Form?

During the School Year

Applications are available for pick up in the Career Center, Monday - Friday from 7:30 am - 3:30 pm.

During the Summer

**PLEASE NOTE: Any student who submits a work permit application form AFTER JUNE 21 will need to visit the VUSD Office of Student Services.  Phone: 760-726-2170, ext. 92180. They will process your work permit.

How long does it take to get my application processed after I turn it in? 

During the school year, it may take 2-3 days to have your application processed. During the summer it can take 1-2 days.

What are the requirements for me to be eligible for a Work Permit?

Students must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GPA throughout every grading period to maintain eligibility and you may not have more than 10 unexcused absences. If a students GPA drops below a 2.0 or they have more than 10 unexcused absences, their work permit will be pulled and their employer will be notified.
