*GRADING/ATTENDANCE STANDARD:

Do I need a Work Permit in the summer?

If you received a work permit during the school year, it will be valid even during the summer (have your employer refer to the "School Not in Session" portion of the permit). If you just got hired for the summer, you will need to apply for a work permit.
