Study Notes

Driver Education Overview

  • Two components required for obtaining a driver's license before age 18: Classroom Driver Education and In-Car Driver Education.

Classroom Driver Education

  • All tenth-grade students complete a nine-week classroom course as part of their health and physical education class.
  • Average of 60% or above required on driver education assignments for passing.
  • Grade is independent of what parents see in ParentVue since it factors in physical education too.
  • A minimum score of 60% on the state-mandated Drugs & Alcohol/Driving Awareness Assessment (Module 8) is necessary.

  • Key topics covered: laws and regulations, alcohol safety, drug abuse awareness, aggressive and distracted driving, motorcycle awareness, organ donation, fuel efficiency, and police stops.

Parent/Guardian Involvement

In-Car Driver Education (Behind-the-Wheel)

  • Instruction can either be through PWCS or a commercial driving academy.
  • Students undertake 7 days (14 periods) of driving with a certified instructor.
  • A road skills test is administered on the final day of the course.
  • Highly recommended to seek instruction through PWCS for familiarity and instructor commitment.

Learner's Permit and Eligibility

  • Eligibility for a learner's permit requires being at least 15 years and 6 months old.
