📢 Current Expiration Dates & The Pre-Summer Push

  • Thursday, June 4th: This is the last day for processing work permits at individual school sites. Please continue to issue work permits through this date. 

Please heavily encourage your students to secure employment and get their permits processed at their home school site before this June 4th deadline. Processing at their home school is much easier for them and helps avoid the summer rush at the district office.
