Work Permits
Students under the age of 18 are required to have a work permit if they plan to work after school, during the summer, or through a work-study program.
How to obtain a Work Permit
- Download & complete the application
The application must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. If a parent or guardian is unavailable to sign, the student may include a notarized statement confirming the information on the application is accurate. This statement must be attached to the application.
- Provide Proof of Age: Acceptable documents include:
- Birth certificate
- Baptismal certificate
- Passport
- Government-issued photo ID
- Driver’s license
- (Please note: School records cannot be used to verify age under Pennsylvania law.)
- Submit the Application: Email the completed application and proof of age to your child’s school counselor.
- Receiving the Permit: Once the counselor has processed the paperwork, the student will be notified by email when the permit is ready. It can then be picked up from the Counseling Office.
