PHS Student Job Fair Thursday May 26th
The Student Job Fair will run during all lunches and after school from 2:30- 4pm. If you are a student looking for a summer job or a SENIOR who is graduating and still unsure of what is next, this will be a great opportunity to meet with some employers. We will also have a table set up, from 1:00-4:00 pm, for students to obtain working papers.
Working Papers
Any student who will be between the ages of 14 and 17 on the day of the event can obtain working papers between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at the PHS East Gym. Students need two important items to obtain their working papers:
- A parent/guardian must sign the form but does not need to be present during the event. The form for parents/guardians to sign can be found HERE or on the Student Services webpage under “Working Papers”. If you do not have access to a printer, copies of this form are available in each counseling office at the high school and middle schools.
- Students must have verification of their birthdate. For most students, we have the required verification on file. The most common acceptable forms of birthdate verification are a copy of the birth certificate or a passport. If you would like to verify that we have the record on file, please email Dr. Aldridge at ealdridge@pennsburysd.org. If you have the appropriate items on file, the student will not need to bring verification of birthdate to the event.
