Work Permits
Work Permit Application Forms available:
- in the Attendance Office
- in the College & Career Center, Rm V-127
- Students can also print an application from their aeries student portal.
Applications:
- Applications must be completely filled out by the student, the employer, and signed by a parent before they can be process by OHS.
- We cannot accept applications without the student’s Social Security Number.
- We do not process applications for students that are not OHS students—these students would need to contact the Educational Support Services office—Dora Jaramillo 760.966.7828.
Approving Work Permits:
- Students can drop off a completed application to the College & Career Center or place in Ms. Celia Hernandez box
- Must allow at least 48 hours for the application to be processed
- Only the Principal may sign the work permit
- Schools are not required to approve work permits –it is a privilege for a student to be allowed to work while going to school. School must come first. Therefore our policy is to :
- Verify SS# and birthdate of student
- Check discipline issues
- Check attendance issues
- –according to CA law, truant students cannot be issued a work permit
- Check grades—should have at least a 2.0 GPA (AARC students must be approved by their counselor to work)
- If approved, an "official" work permit is issued and signed by the Principal
- Students can pick it up from Ms. Hernandez or it can be mailed directly to the employer, upon request.
Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA, satisfactory attendance & behavior or the permit may be revoked.(students with low grades/GPA’s are flagged and monitored each grading period)
Work permits expire at the end of August during each school year.
