Welcome to Arlington’s Driver Education Program - Summer 2022
REGISTRATION:
DRIVER ED is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have a valid permit. Before you register to take the course, both student and parent are requested to attend a mandatory ZOOM conference call on Tuesday, May 10, Wednesday, May 11 and Monday, May 16 from 7 – 8pm, that will detail the rules, regulations and requirements of the Driver Ed program. Register for Driver Ed Info Zoom: @https://arlingtonschools.revtrak.net for an invitation to attend.
After the meeting, register @ https://arlingtonschools.revtrak.net between May 17 - May 27.
Course Fee: $125.00 per Arlington student $165.00 per Non-Arlington Resident student
Driver Education is a 48 hour program consisting of 16 - 1 ½ hr Lecture classes and 16 - 1 ½ hr Driving sessions. Why take Driver Education? Students who take Driver Education are given the tools to understand and follow the rules of the road and to make good decisions so that they will become safe and focused drivers. 85% of those who take Driver Education are deemed safer drivers than those who don’t. At the completion of the course, students will receive their MV285 which they can use to book their road test. Once they have passed their road test, they are entitled to receive insurance discounts (depending on your insurance company), and once they are 17, obtain their senior license.
LECTURE:
June 24 – July 18 in person either 8-9:30am or 9:45 - 11:15am or online from 6:30 - 8:00pm or
July 25 – August 15 in person either 8-9:30am or 9:45 - 11:15am or online from 6:30 - 8:00pm
DRIVING:
What is also different, is that you, the parent/guardian, will be given the task of teaching your teen how to drive (physically maneuver the vehicle). This will include everything from entering the vehicle, understanding the dashboard, adjusting seats, mirrors, etc, to driving on different roads, changing lanes, signaling, accelerating, parallel parking and braking to vehicle inspection, how to fill the tank, how to read and react to road conditions and more. What we have all come to take for granted, that has become automatic pilot for us, is uncharted waters that you will help your teen navigate. Those students registered for either summer session will be able to start their driving sessions with their student beginning June 1.
Student books and Parent packets will be available for pickup on Wednesday, June 8 or Friday, June 10 from 2:30 – 5:30pm at the main entrance of AHS

- You will drive with your student 2 - 3 times per week, a minimum of 1 ½ hrs per week. You will submit your student’s weekly progress information online.
- Parents will be sent links to set up a google doc to record the student's Driver Ed driving and must be recorded weekly.
- Driving done prior to June 1 will not count towards your 24 Driver Education, but does count towards your student's 50 hour minimum required to take their road test.
