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.
