Please note the following:
* The program is supplemental to and not a part of the
regular school curriculum.
* The program is run after school and on weekends (Sat. &
Sun.).
* The program does not count as credit towards a local or
Regents diploma.
* The program is not offered as part of an Adult
or
Continuing Education Program.
Students are expected to attend all of the driving and
classroom instruction on the days they are assigned. Make-up
sessions are very difficult to schedule and students who
miss days are at risk of losing credit for their
certificate.
Students participating in the program will be attending sessions totaling 3 hours per week- 1 ½ hours in the classroom and 1 ½ hours in the car. These sessions will be assigned to each student by a lottery system.
The course runs from February thru May/June, and from September thru Dec./Jan. Any student who wishes to participate in the program must have their Driver’s License or Learner’s Permit as issued by the Motor Vehicle Bureau and must be 16 years of age on or before Feb. 1st for the Spring session and on or before Sept. 1 for the Fall session.
Before signing up for driver education please consider realistically the number of various activities the student will be actively involved in.
Students dropping the program during the first three weeks will be refunded $265.00. After the third week there will be no refunds. If you have any questions, please call 987-3065.
