Registering for an SHS Driver's Education Class
Note: 9th graders and non-SHS students can pay online at myschoolfees.com by selecting the public item option or in person at the finance office.
Step 1:
Pay $100 Fee online or in the school Finance Office. This covers the full class.
Step 2:
Submit the signup form.
Spending practice time on the road with your student will have a DEFINITE effect on his/her success in Driver Education!!
Students cannot miss Driver's Ed class or their range times. Please schedule your class accordingly.
Important Things to Remember:
We have many requests for students to miss hours during Driver's Ed. classes. It is imperative that students do not miss class or scheduled driving times. If students miss, they cannot pass. They will not meet the state requirements.
Phones and electronics are not allowed in class. If they become a distraction they will be taken and a parent will have to come to the school and pick them up.
The Driver Education course is a very demanding class. There will be many assignments and quizzes every day. You will spend several hours each day working on assignments and or driving. However, success is possible for those who seriously give an honest and dedicated effort.
Attendance Matters:
Schedule your class accordingly
Drivers Ed rules are regulated by the State
ATTENDANCE IS NOT FLEXIBLE
The classroom portion requires 27 hours and each student will be required to complete all 27 hours
A student may make up two absences or three hours in the very next class.
On the third absence, the student will have to repeat the course from the beginning and pay the $100.00 fee again.
Two tardies count as one absence and each tardy will require one hour of classroom makeup. We will start on time each day.
All makeup attendance must be completed during the first week of the next scheduled class.
If you come in late it is your responsibility to make sure the roll is marked accordingly.
For students who are absent, any assignments that are due must be handed in by the next class period. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what they missed and get it turned in on time.
Late work will be assessed at a 50% penalty and will only be accepted for one day after the due date.
All assignments must be turned in by the last day of class.
Sleeping in class will not be tolerated. Those sleeping will be assessed a tardy after the first warning
Once a student begins a class, no refunds will be issued.
If a student wishes to take the class a different month they will be issued a refund and required to sign up for the next available month
Grading
The driver education program is a pass/fail program. A student must attain 80% of the total points possible in the class. The student must also show competence on the driving range and driving on the public roads. Six hours of observation in a driver education car is also required.
State Testing: Each student will take his/her state road test with a driving instructor. The student must not miss more than 20 on this driving exam or the student will fail.
Options for Failing: If a student fails the driving exam another test can be given at a cost of $19.00. If a student does not obey traffic laws, or causes an accident the student will fail and must retake the course. After two failures of the driving test a student must test next with the Utah State Driver License Division.
Students not meeting the minimum requirements may be asked to retake Drivers Education and will have one more chance at SHS to pass the course. This requires starting from the beginning including the $100 fee. A student who does not pass the second time must take the class elsewhere such as a professional driving school.
Range and Road Driving
Driving consists of 6 hours of observation and 6 hours of driving in a Driver's Education car
Driving Range:
Student are required to complete 12 hours of range before drive times can be scheduled.
Hours spent on the range count for half of required driving
You must meet at your appointed times. Driving range hours are not flexible. Missed driving range hours must be made up the next month at a cost of $22.00 per hour missed.
Road Driving Schedule:
After the driving range is completed, a student will be scheduled for road driving times.
Once a student has committed to a driving schedule they are required to meet at their appointed times, on time.
If a student must miss, they must make arrangements with the instructor at least 12 hours before the appointment so the instructor may make other arrangements with another driver.
If a student misses an appointment without 12 hour notification the student will be assessed a fee of $22.00 for one hour missed or $44.00 dollars for the two hours of time that you wasted for the instructor and your driving partner.
Instructors will not drive students alone. Students will be paired with one or two other students.
Please note: range and road driving will extend beyond the instruction dates.

Each person can take the test as many times as needed in order to pass. You can go back and review any question missed. This new law went into effect 01/01/2016. The website needed for this state exam is listed below.
