Dear SFUSD High School Students, Families, and Community, 

We are thrilled to announce that starting Monday, January 8th, 2024, SFUSD high school students can apply for work permits at their school site during the school year. We hope this transition will be more convenient for the students and families moving forward. 

Please note that the  SFUSD Transcripts, Records & Work Permits Office will continue to issue work permits during summer break, holidays or other school breaks, and for Middle School students eligible for a work permit. 

Review: Requirements for a Work Permit

To obtain a work permit, the student must be a current SFUSD student (13 years or older) and meet the following requirements per Board Policy 5113.2, Administrative Regulation 5113.2.

• Students must demonstrate satisfactory school attendance.  
• Maintain a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) during the academic year.
• Students do not need to meet the GPA criteria to obtain a permit to work over the summer.

** If a student does not meet the GPA or attendance requirements, the school admin can decide if they are eligible for an exemption. 

For more information about work permits, please visit the SFUSD Transcripts, Students Records & Work Permits website or you can email us at Transcripts@sfusd.edu. 

Thank you!

The SFUSD Transcripts, Records & Work Permit Office
