- The top portion needs to be filled out and signed by a parent.

- Have the employer fill out the “Pledge of Employer” portion.
2. Contact the school to arrange a time to process the form. Please email Kristal Pingle at cg_pingle@cg.noacsc.org.
3. Bring the completed form to Kristal (during the arranged time) to have the info entered into the Ohio.gov website. Both the student and the secretary will have to sign the completed form to be taken back to the employer.
