DRIVERS EDUCATION

 

INFORMATION:

 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

    Drivers Education will be offered again this year.  As in the past the state will grant 1/2 credit toward graduation for successful completion of this course.

    

    The classroom portion will begin on April 16th 2007 and last for approximately 30 school days.  This will allow for only two (2) absences by the student.  If extenuating circumstances arise we will consider alternative make-up days.  Classes will meet from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. each day.

 

     After successful completion of the classroom phase the student will be eligible to take the written exam to obtain his/her beginners permit.  This entitles the student to drive provided there is a licensed driver 21 years or older in the front seat. 

 

     The laboratory phase or behind the wheel training will begin on May 29th.   Each student must have seven (7) hours of behind the wheel training and observation time before completion of this phase.  Driving groups and times will be determined at a later date.

 

     Due to an increase in our expenses (gas) we must raise the tuition for this course. The total cost for both phases of drivers training will increase form $200.00 to $225.00 and must be paid in full by the first class day (April 16th).  Fees may be paid out over a given time period if you wish.  If you wish to make monthly payments, the minimum amount per month is $25.00.  Please make checks payable to Wolfe City I.S.D. Enrollment is limited to 30 students.  The deadline for enrollment is April 13th, 2007.  A deposit is required to reserve your space.

 

      If you have any other questions regarding Drivers Training please feel free to talk with me during school hours (8:00 am – 8:45 am) 496-2891.
