All Students who live in Trumbull, whether or not they attend THS, must have a completed Promise of Employment from the employer, and submit a copy of one of the following original documents: birth certificate, current passport or driver’s license. For THS Students only, Infinite Campus records are used to verify your birthdate, parent/guardian info and your address.

The Promise of Employment must be on company letterhead and include hourly wage (currently minimum wage is $16.35), the hours per week and a DETAILED list of tasks (no vague descriptions like ‘cleaning’ are permitted).  These are State of Connecticut requirements, employers must comply with the state regulations.
