Welcome!
The Mission of Three Rivers Community Schools is to educate, motivate and inspire all students to reach their full potential, to become successful adults, and to pursue their dreams.

The State of Michigan recently changed its process for student work permits. Read more here.

Minors under 18 years of age still must obtain a work permit between the employer and the governing school district before starting work. If the minor changes jobs, a new work permit is required for the new employer.  A work permit may be revoked for poor academic performance. A work permit is required even if the minor is home/cyber/virtual/online schooled, does not attend school, or is an out-of-state resident. 

TRCS students seeking a work permit may follow the links below to download and print.  The Administration Building, located at 851 Sixth Avenue, will have hard copies if you are unable to print one.

Print the CA-6 Work Permit for minors under 16 years of age (print in landscape format).
Print the CA-7 Work Permit for minors 16 to 17 years of age (print in portrait format).

• The student will complete the top portion, and the employer will complete the middle section.
• Once both parts are complete, contact the Administration Building at 269-279-1100 (during public hours:     M-F 8am-4pm) to schedule an appointment to have the bottom portion completed.
• The student must be present with a picture ID (school ID will work) as well as proof of age as identified in Section III of the form; if the student is a current TRCS student, we will use PowerSchool to verify age.
• The student will take the original completed work permit to their employer, and we will keep a copy for the student file. 

Please note: All required fields must be legible, and all fields must be complete. Incomplete or illegible permits will be delayed.
