BEHS TSE

CHANGES FOR DOL TESTING!

Burlington Edison High School has been approved by the DOL to provide the Knowledge and Skills Tests to students enrolled in our Traffic Safety Education course. Driver knowledge and driver skills tests are no longer being offered in Mount Vernon & Anacortes.

Once students have passed the B-EHS TSE course, a "Course Complete" status will be entered into the DOL website portal by the TSE instructor. This will be done within 24 hours of the student completing the course. Students are then eligible to take both the written test and the driving skills test at any, authorized testing site.

Students qualified to take a written &/or driving skills test are encouraged to visit DOL Driver license testing for more information as well as for a list of state-approved public schools and driver training schools authorized to administer tests.

Also be mindful that the Washington State Department of Licensing, in agreement with the testing center you visit, reserves the right to retest an applicant who completes the DOL test(s). Retesting is done at random at no cost to the applicant. The DOL also has the power to revoke a license from an applicant based on the retest. If you have concerns or questions with this DOL policy, please contact the local DOL Office.

Once students have passed both the written and driving DOL tests, the testing site will enter the two passing scores into the DOL website portal within 24 hours of each test. When that has happened, and the student has driven a minimum of 50 hours with parent(s)/guardian(s); and has had their permit for at least 6 months; and has turned 16, they can go to any DOL in our state to gain the Intermediate License. Let's say you go to the DOL in Mount Vernon. You will pay a $35 "License Application Fee." You may have to take another eye test. Once you have your photo taken and pay a $45 "Licensing Fee" to the DOL, you will receive the 6-year license.

Please keep in mind that passing the DOL tests does not guarantee that an applicant will automatically be issued an intermediate license. The DOL, upon your visit there, will determine if an applicant has met all of the license requirements.

If you have further concerns or questions about testing, visit the DOL website at http://www.dol.wa.gov ; or call the Mount Vernon DOL at 360-416-7564; or call Dan Peterson, TSE Coordinator, B-EHS.

2013-2014 TSE SCHEDULE

The 2013-14 yearly TSE schedule is now available. Please use it to find the class that best fits your family's plans. If you have specific concerns or questions, please call Dan Peterson, 360-840-3619. Application Packets may be downloaded or picked up in the Main Office during the respective enrollment periods.

We Recommend that Students Pre-Apply ON LINE... OR...Go to the DOL to begin the Permit Process

Students must pre-apply online, anytime, to start the process of getting their instructional permit, at http://www.dol.wa.gov. This pre-application is a short, 4-step process. Here, you will receive your PIC # (same as your permit/license #). It is suggested that you make three (3) copies of this PIC # page. One copy will be for you. A second copy of this DOL page with your PIC # needs to be attached to the TSE application form at the time of enrollment. And the third copy should be taken to the DOL as proof that you have received a PIC #. If a student already has a PIC #, please write it very clearly on the front of the application form.

Those students/families who do not have access to a computer, or would like additional help in getting the PIC # are advised to go to the Mt. Vernon DOL for assistance. Keep in mind that students can only get their permit if it is within 10 days of the student's Parent Night date. They can apply and get the PIC # at any time...but they cannot walk away with the permit unless it is within the correct time frame.

Once the application form, the PIC # proof sheet, and the total $425 has been turned in to the Athletic/ Activities Office, the TSE Coordinator will enter your PIC # and application data into the DOL portal/ internet site. This is part of the "E-Waiver" process, whereby a student will gain the permit without having to take the written test. Then, when it is 10 days or less from our respective Parent Night, you are to go to the DOL, WITH YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. If parent(s)/guardian(s) have a different last name than the student's last name, legal documents following the name changes must be supplied to the DOL.

Once you visit the DOL, within 10 days or less of the Parent Night, and pay $25 to the DOL, and supply all appropriate ID information including your Birth Certificate; and pass the eye test, the DOL will issue the paper permit. The hard copy will be sent to you in the mail in 7-10 days.

Additionally, students must have applied for and received their learner's permit ON or BEFORE 10 days AFTER the Parent Night date. That is state law. Any student not attaining their permit by the tenth day of class will be dropped from the TSE program.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ENROLL IN THE B-EHS TSE PROGRAM?

In addition to B-EHS students, our TSE program enrolls qualified students from the high schools of Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon Christian, Concrete, as well as Skagit Adventist Academy and Home Schooled Students. Please call Dan Peterson at 360-840-3619 if you have questions/ concerns.

The purpose of the B-EHS TSE driver education program is to help students become efficient, knowledgeable and responsible drivers. We teach students about the skills, judgments, and attitudes essential to safe and skillful driving. Our program has received both state and national recognition. Once students have completed both the classroom and driving phases of TSE, they will receive a "Course Complete" status allowing them to take both the DOL written test and the DOL driving test at a authorized test center such as Sedro Woolley High School.
