WORK PERMIT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AGES 14-17
Once a student has been hired, and is between the ages of 14 -17 years old, they will need to obtain a work permit application from their employer.
After a minor is promised employment, a work permit application must be filled out by the employer, physician (for students age 14 and 15 only), and signed by a parent/guardian and student.
The application can be found on Wareham Public Schools website. The Guidance Department has hard copies of the application as well.

1. The employer signs page one of the application
2. A physician signs page two (only applicable for students ages 14/15)
3. Parent/guardian and student sign page two
