Scroll about halfway down the page and click on “Download School Year (or Summer) Work Certificate”.

  • Complete Section A online, then print out the form.
  • Have the student’s potential employer complete Section B.
  • The student should take the completed form to Parkway West High School.  Ask to see Mrs. Devlin in Dr. McCabe's office.
  • If the student does not attend a Parkway school, please make sure to bring the student’s birth certificate and the current grade report from the school he is attending.
  • Mrs. Devlin will complete Section C of the form and will scan and e-mail the completed form to the Department of Labor & Industrial Relations.
  • The original form will be returned to the student to give to the student’s employer.
