Driver Education

This 48-hour non-credit program is designed to educate students on appropriate driving skills and habits as well as playing a responsible role in the highway transportation/safety system. In addition to the classroom, there will be 24 hours of concurrent in-car instruction (6 hours behind the wheel and 18 hours of observation). Successful completion of this course may satisfy the 5-hour pre-licensing course requirement. 

 

 

Students are required to complete 24 hours classroom and 24 hours in-car instruction in order to comply with Department of Motor Vehicle regulations and receive the MV-285 certificate, therefore attendance is extremely important. Students are expected to attend all of the classroom instruction and in-car driving instruction on the scheduled days. If a student knows they will miss a class due to illness, an emergency or for ANY other reason, please notify the instructor prior to class and plan to attend one of the scheduled make-up sessions (dates below). Students can only miss a maximum of 2 classes and 2 in-car driving instruction sessions. If the student is involved in extracurricular activities that interfere with several of the classroom and in-car driving instruction sessions, or if the student knows they will have to miss more than 2 classes and 2 in-car driving instruction for any reason, we encourage you to wait and take the course at a different time. Students who miss 2 classes and 2 in-car driving instruction sessions and do not attend the make-up sessions will be ineligible to receive credit for their MV-285 certificate. If school is closed due to an emergency or weather-related event, the instructor will reschedule class to meet the required hours of instruction.
