WORK PERMITS
(See below for entertainment work permit information.)
APPROVING WORK PERMITS: Student attendance, discipline and course history records will be reviewed. The minimum requirements are (all within the current school year): minimum 2.0 GPA; less than 3 unexcused absences; no excessive excused absences; less than 3 tardies; and, no excessive disciplinary action taken. If everything is satisfactory, the work permit will be issued. If you are planning to work more than 36 hours per week (must be at least 16 years old), see Ms. Bloomfield for additional requirements.
If you do not meet these minimum requirements, you need to meet with an administrator to sign a behavior contract prior to the issuance of a work permit if one is authorized. In some cases, students will need to show improvement before a work permit will be approved or will have work limitations. In addition, if you do not meet these minimum requirements after being issued a work permit, it may be revoked.
