Overview    

1. You need 30 hours of classroom instruction, 12 hours of driving, and 6 hours of observation.  After the student finishes the classroom portion, he/she will be able to begin the on-road instruction phase if he/she has a permit and has prepaid
all the costs of the course.  If a student has to miss a class, they can make up that class when the next sessions begin.

NOTE There are no refunds if the student does not finish the course!  Prices are always subject to change, depending on the economic climate! (Gas prices, etc.)

3. The classroom consists of 3 quizzes and a final exam at the end of the course.  A passing grade for the final must equal 80%.  There will be movies shown to
reinforce the instruction.  There will be guest speakers if time allows.

NOTE Students are expected to conduct themselves in a proper manner. Failure to do so will mean immediate dismissal from the class.

4. Students are expected to get at least 40 hours of behind-the-wheel practice from family members in addition to their behind-the-wheel instruction given
by the auto school.  The more they practice, they quicker they learn the proper driving skills and become safe, confident drivers.

NOTE You have two years, from the starting date, to complete the course. After that, you have to start over again!

5. All Georgetown and Amesbury High students will be picked up at the high school and returned to the high school after the lesson and observation time is
completed. (No exceptions)

6. All parents should be prompt in picking their child up when classes are over. If you are going to be late, please call Joseph, Sheila, or the instructors on our cell
phones.  Instructors cannot provide rides home for student after classes have ended.

7. A 24-hour notice of a cancellation is required if possible.  Failure to notify will mean a payment for the missed lesson.
