New Online Process for Youth Work Permits
Beginning October 2, Michigan is changing how students obtain youth employment/work permits.
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is launching a new Youth Employment Permit Portal, which will move the work permit process to one centralized online system.
What does this mean for students and families?
Beginning October 2:
- Kent City High School will no longer issue youth employment/work permits.
- Students and employers will complete the permit process online through the State of Michigan's new portal.
- The new statewide system is designed to make the process more convenient and accessible for students, families, and employers.
Students who are starting a new job or need a youth employment permit after October 2 should use the State of Michigan's new online process.
For additional information, instructions, and updates, visit Michigan.gov/YouthEmployment.
Please note: This is a statewide change to Michigan's youth employment permit process, not a change specific to Kent City Community Schools.
Athletics
Attention students! We are looking for four individuals to help with line judging on Thursday, October 8, for our JV/Varsity Volleyball Tri at 5:00 p.m. You will be paid for your services. If you are interested or have any questions, see Mr. Vogel.
The girls golf team wrapped up their season on Tuesday by competing in a regional at Katke Golf Course in Big Rapids. The course played very tough, as it was windy and the hole placements were downright brutal. Our team persevered and placed 12th out of 15 teams with a team score of 525. We shaved 14 strokes off our team score from when we played here earlier in the season. The team improved throughout the short season, with five of the six girls on the team being brand new to golf. Abigail Peterson was the only returning player and served as the team captain. She led the team yesterday, shooting a 120, followed by Ava Harlett with a 127, Judy Reed with a 137, and Vanessa Rodriguez with a 141. Callie Stinson and Journie Elsbury were also members of the girls team. Next season, fall 2027, begins today! The girls have a wonderful opportunity at The Falls, our home course, to continue improving and use the facilities there during the offseason. Great season, ladies! We are already looking forward to next year and what it can bring with continued hard work!
