Working Papers Office

For our residents who attend a PPSD school, the students get the working papers signed and processed at their own high school.  For Providence residents who attend a charter or private school, they come to the Student Affairs Office to get the working papers processed. During the summer months, residents from non PPSD schools only can come to 182 Thurbers Avenue on Wednesday’s between 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. to get working papers signed. Students who attend one of our high schools get working papers signed at their current school.
