Segment I

Terms:  In Order To Take And Pass Driver Training, A Student Must:

  1. Sign-Up using the online payment system of Revtrak with $350:
    https://plainwell.revtrak.net/high-school/Drivers-Ed/
    An email confirmation will be sent from Revtrak confirming your enrollment into the class/drive group you picked.

  2. Be 14 yrs & 8 months old at least by the start of class (verification by birth certificate may be required at by first class session).

  3. Attend and pass 24 hours of classroom and 6 hours of behind – the- wheel instruction.

  4. Must have proof of an eye test showing visual acuity is at least 20/40 corrected, within the last year before class starts.

Class and Group Assignments:
Please see a copy of the calendar before signing up.

Class will run mostly Monday - Thursday, 2:30 – 4:30 pm for three weeks.  Drive times will be scattered throughout the session; mostly after school with some on a Saturday.

Absences: IMPORTANT
Classroom time is set up with a sequential order of lessons that should not be taken out of order. 
Students who are late or absent may result in dismissal. 
According to State Law:  PA 384 of  2006, time missed must be made up within the current session but the student can only attend two hours a day.  This makes it very hard to reschedule a class time and may result in students having to re-enroll and pay again.

It is important to look at the classroom dates on the calendar before signing up.

 If a student is absent from driving, that time must be made up.  We can usually find time for one switch/make-up drive during the program if the absence is planned in advance with the instructor.  An additional $50 fee will be assessed.  Conflicts should be discussed prior to signing up.

FEES:
$350 is due when signing up.  Students who drop out of the program after singing up will not be entitled to ANY refund unless a replacement student can be found prior to the start of class. 
Check the dates BEFORE signing up.

Replacement permits cost $5.
