I believe that studentsneed all types of experiences in orderto be prepared for the 21st century andwhat better experience than to be a rolemodel and help shape the minds ofyoung children.

NOTES from the Guidance DepartmentDriver’s Education(continued)Driver’s education is not required in Pennsylvania to obtain a driver’s permit or license; however, some insurance companiesoffer a discount for those drivers who have completed a certified driver’s education program. Driver’s education is a twopart program: the theory portion, which consists of 30 class hours of instruction, and the supervised driving portion, whichconsists of 6 hours of actual behind-the-wheel practice. Upon completion of both parts of driver education, students areissued a certificate stating that they have fulfilled the course requirements. The Chester County Intermediate Unit providesDriver’s Education courses and students may register for this course by completing a form available in the high schoolmain office. The Intermediate Unit phone number is 484-237-5055. Classes are tentatively scheduled to be conducted afterschool, in the evening or on Saturdays either at Kennett High School or at Avon Grove High School.Summer ProgramsAre you looking for a summer program of any type? Information about a variety of programs is available in the GuidanceOffice. Lengths of programs vary from one to eight weeks; costs vary from nominal to expensive; some have scholarships.If you are looking for something special, something different for your son or daughter to do this year, come to the GuidanceOffice at your convenience and browse through the folder.Working PapersStudents who are 14 to 18 years of age who seek employment in Pennsylvania must have working papers issued to be legallyemployed. There are restrictions as to the length and type of jobs for which minors may be hired. Without working paperson file, employers could be fined and insurance questions could arise should an injury occur on the job. Because each statehas different laws, working papers are issued by the state in which the job is located. Kennett High School can issue workingpapers only for jobs in Pennsylvania. Applications for working permits are issued through the Guidance Office.Since working papers are a legal document, we must have on file a copy of a birth certificate, baptismal certificateor passport for proof of age. For 14 and 15 year olds, a job-specific working paper will be issued once the studenthas been promised a job. Parents must sign the working paper application form in person in the Guidance Office. Thestudent is to complete an application for a working permit by securing signatures of the employer and physician.The completed form is returned to the Guidance Office and the working permit is mailed to the employer or handcarried by the student to the employer. The job-specific working paper is valid for the duration of that employment.Should the student change jobs, a new working permit must be issued. Students who are 16 or 17 may secure transferableworking permits. Parents must sign the working paper application form in the Guidance Office. The student is tocomplete the application for the transferable working permit by securing signatures of the employer and physician.The completed form is returned to the Guidance Office and a transferable work permit is given to the student. If astudent changes jobs, the permit is still valid.VISIT THE NEW AND IMPROVED GUIDANCE WEB SITE!All students and parents are invited to visit the new and improved guidance web site on the high school’s Web site athttp://khs.kcsd.org for special news and announcements as well as information about scholarships, applying to colleges,scheduling and more.
