Hopewell Valley Regional School District is a full comprehensive driving school.   Sophomores at Central High School are required to take the Behind the Wheel Lecture course for 30 credit hours during the 2nd marking period.   At the conclusion of the 2nd marking period and/or the day they turn 16, students can begin scheduling their 6 hour Behind-The-Wheel experience en route to their NJ Special Learners Permit.

NOTICE:

At the moment we are doing our best to accomodate everyones Behind the Wheel needs.  If you are a student of Mr. Skolka, Mr. Venanzi, Mr. Nucera or Ms. Ashman we are starting to schedule students for Mid May at the earliest.  Please contact your teacher direclty to check available times and to be added to a call list for any last minute cancellations.

In addition to the 6hr Behind-The-Wheel, we now offer Road Test services.  If you DO NOT have a vehicle suitable for the Road Test you can schedule an appointment to use one of the BTW vehicles.  The fee for this appointment is $75 PASS or FAIL.  If your child does not pass the exam, you would be required to pay the $75 fee everytime you needed to use the school vehicle.  Please coordinate with one of the driving instructors prior to scheduling your Road Test to ensure availability.  

Checks can be made payable to Hopewell Valley Board of Ed.  This consent form must also be completed prior to using the schools service for the Driving Exam.
