TRANSFER REQUESTS
The transfer lottery process has been completed, and we have started sending assignment letters as seats become available. If you have already received an assignment letter for the school you requested, please disregard this message. If you do not receive an assignment letter for a new school by the first day of the 2025-2026 school year, your child will remain at their currently assigned school.
We will continue to process transfer requests through the 20th day of the 2025-2026 school year.
WORK PERMITS
Work permits are issued in person Monday through Friday after 2 p.m. In order to be issued a work permit, students need to come to the Family Resource Center and submit their completed two-page permit application and proof of age (one of the following: birth certificate, driver's license, driver's permit, or passport.)
Important:
- The student must be present for the permit to be issued.
- The employer must sign the permit PRIOR to Lowell Public Schools issuing the permit.
- If you need the paperwork for your employer to complete, please download from our website.
If you are a student at the Greater Lowell Technical High School, that school will issue you a work permit. We are unable to issue permits to vocational school students or students who do not reside in Lowell.
We do not issue work permits for New Hampshire.
