AVHS Driver Education

AVHS is no longer offering behind the wheel driver education lessons, nor are any ISD196 schools.  *If a  student enrolled (signed up and paid) before the June 5th, 2025 deadline, then they will still be able to complete 6 hours of behind the wheel within the next school year. **If a student paid for a blue card and still needs it, it can be picked up at the main office at AVHS - send an email to check in with Mr. Scanlon before going to pick it up.  ***If a student completed the 30 hours of classroom (in Safety Education) but did not enroll in behind the wheel lessons, they can request a Classroom Completion Letter from Mr. Scanlon.  (Send an email to Christopher.Scanlon@District196.org)  Then take  that letter to any local  private driver education school to complete the process of earning a permit.
   
Hello and welcome to the Apple Valley High School Driver Education website.  This site provides general information about the Driver Education classroom curriculum, the process of getting a permit/license, provisional license laws, the behind the wheel process, and everything in between.  Use the tabs above to find what you are looking for or if you still have questions, feel free to email Mr. Scanlon at Christopher.Scanlon@District196.org.  

Every aspect of the information shared on this site is discussed during class in great detail (and repeated often) (and repeated often) and it should be the student's responsibility to explain the process to their parents, not the other way around.  This is the first 'adult' task most students take on and they should treat it as such; driving is a privilege, a tremendous responsibility and it must be respected.  Parents should discuss the importance of this with their son or daughter as driving responsibly may save their life some day.
