Work Permits

Work permits or employment certificates must be obtained for all minors 14 and 15 years of age before beginning work. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to obtain a work permit.

1. Obtain a job first. A work permit can’t be issued until you have been offered a job and you have a letter of intent on letterhead from your new employer. The letter of intent must include the following:
   • Description of job responsibilities
   • Number of hours you will work a day
   • Number of days a week you will work
2. Contact Ms. Carol Rodriguez in the Main Office. With a parent, bring the following documents to Ms. Carol Rodriguez in the main office:
   • Letter of Intent from Employer
   • Original Birth Certificate
   • Original Social Security Card
   • Valid drivers license of parent/guardian
   • Parental Approval
   • Medical Statement (note from physician)
   • Principal’s Statement (request from attendance@grantbulldogs.org)*
   • Proof of Coogan Account (only for modeling, performing, acting jobs)
3. During the meeting, Ms. Rodriguez will review documents with the student and parents/guardians. It may take up to 24-48 hours for a permit to be issued if all requirements are met.

*During the school year, student grades are reviewed by Mr. Schmidt. Students will need to pass all classes with a “C” or better.
