1. Current Student - Work Permits
Starting Monday, January 8th, 2024, SFUSD high school students can go to their SCHOOL SITE to apply for a work permit. We hope this transition will be more convenient for the students so they will no longer have to go to the SFUSD Transcripts, Records & Work Permits Office.
The SFUSD Transcripts, Records & Work Permits Office (20 Cook St., 1st floor Room 11 - San Francisco, CA 94118 ) will continue to support issuing work permits during summer or times when school sites are closed (holidays or school breaks) or for students in middle school that are eligible for a work permit.
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS:
If you are eligible for a work permit (scroll down to see requirements below), please visit our SFUSD Transcripts, Records & Work Permits Office (20 Cook St.,1st floor Room 11 - San Francisco, CA 94118). Currently, work permits are not issued at the middle school sites. Please note:
- Students applying for JCYC summer jobs have been sent links to their prefilled work permit application. Print out the prefilled JCYC application and then fill out the Student, School, and Parent sections (and student/parent sign). Bring the application to JCYC for their signature and then to the Transcript Office for issuance.
- For middle school students applying for non-JCYC summer jobs, you can get a work permit application from your school counselor or download a copy linked below, complete the application, and bring it to the Transcript Office.
