2019 End of Year, Summer, & Start of School Information

End of Year, Summer, & Start of School Information

The 2018-2019 school year was a success by any measure.  I want to thank the community members for all their support including members of the PA and CEF; I want to thank all CCHS staff who work hard every day to make CCHS a welcoming and nurturing learning environment, and most importantly I want to thank all the students for making this demanding profession extremely rewarding.  

Soon I will post one last update on Q5 and a few other CCHS highlights.  

Work Permits

Work permit hours are 8:00am-2:00pm. NOTE: Due to reduced staff and more flexible hours over the summer, it is required to call or email to schedule processing your work permit to ensure that office personnel will be available. If no one is available, keep in mind that work permits can be obtained at any high school and the Carlisle Superintendents office located at the Carlisle Middle School. Students need an ID that includes their date of birth, and we recommended calling beforehand for additional requirements. Students MUST be present to sign the work permit document — no exceptions under Massachusetts State law. Students, please bring applications to the Main Office at CCHS, where the official Work Permit is processed. No additional documentation is required for CCHS Students. If a student is not attending CCHS, a valid ID with their date of birth is mandatory.

Procedure and Forms

To complete the employment process, students need to comply with specific legal regulations outlined by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All students under the age of 18 are required to obtain a Work Permit.
Follow these steps:

1. Once a job offer is secured from an employer they need to complete (and sign) the Promise of Employment form (parent/guardian must sign this form also).
2. Fill out the Employment Permit Application which is available by clicking here or the CCHS  Main Office.
3. Students between the ages of 14-15 need to get a physician’s signature.
   

Release of Schedules

An updated schedule for the 2019-2020 academic year is posted in your Aspen account. The schedule does not include the names of teachers or room locations. Later in the summer, we will post an updated schedule with this information. We have done our best to make changes to students, but some may have not been fulfilled. If your name was placed on a waitlist for a class it will remain there. Making summer scheduling appointments Is there an error on your schedule? Do you have the courses you need or want?
