During the School Year

To obtain a work permit: Print the work permit worksheet.

During the school year: After completely filling it out your portion, your employer’s portion, and your parent’s portion – bring it to the Counseling Office. They will use this worksheet to create the actual work permit that your employer will need. The turnaround time is 24 hours.

 Summer:

If you need a work permit processed after the last day of school, take your fully completed work permit worksheet to Educational Services (bldg C) at the District Office, 699 Old Orchard Drive in Danville. It’s located on the northwest corner of the Sycamore Valley Road and Old Orchard Drive intersection. The district office phone number is 552-2914.
