Hello rising 9th graders, you have finally reached the grade driver education begins. Classes will start in July online. Students will take the class oldest to youngest throughout the 2020-2021 school year. I have already sent out emails to students who are scheduled to begin the class on July 6th. If you were born before October 10th, 2005 you should have received an email from me with subject line Driver Education. It is your responsibility to follow the directions in the email if you want to take driver education.

For the students that have already taken the classroom portion for driver education, we are still waiting for guidance from the governor as to when we can resume the driving portion. Please know, I check with the state weekly and know this is very frustrating for your child. As soon as I get the green light for the driving to resume we will start immediately.

Thanks
Thomas Young
Driver Education Coordinator
