Annual Notifications

Following are policy notifications as required by state and federal law or school district practice.

General Information

Visitors
To ensure the safety and security of our students and staff, all visitors are required to show a photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport) and sign in on the visitor log to enter our school buildings.

Facilities Use
While the district’s school building and grounds are maintained primarily for the purpose of educating our students, SOCSD recognizes that the buildings and grounds are a valuable community resource and believes that this resource should be available to the community for specific uses that will not interfere with educational activities. Go to the Facilities webpage for regulations, forms and fees.

Working Papers
In New York State, anyone under the age of 18 must show an employment certificate (“working papers”) before they can begin work. To apply:

  1. Complete the Application for Employment Certificate (AT-17). Students without a Social Security Number (SSN) are encouraged to apply for one. Although a minor may obtain working papers without a SSN, his/her employer will need one.
  2. A parent or guardian must sign Part I of the application. Working papers cannot be issued without this signature.
  3. A physician must sign the Physical Fitness Certification form.
  4. Students should bring their completed application and a form of identification (birth certificate, passport, baptismal certificate, driver’s license or permit) to Tappan Zee High School Main Office.
