An update on the certification process. Once a student has completed all of their driving hours and observation hours, all students need to be certified with the RMV, stating all of the requirements(30 hours of classroom instruction, parent meeting, 12 hours of driving, and 6 hours of observation) of driver education are done and need to be certified before they're able to schedule a license test. You can now pay that $15.00 here!

You're looking for RMV Certification Fee on Unipay, once paid, we will then certify your student directly through the RMV website. This will be the only way moving forward to certify your student/s. Once they're certified, I'll email the student/parent/guardian email on Schedule 2 Drive so you can move forward with scheduling a license test. Please allow up to 7 business days for this transaction to be completed.

Some information about Schedule 2 Drive

If you've completed any driving lessons, logging on shouldn't be an issue. Click this link and go to the Student Login and enter the information requested. Once you're on your profile, please ensure that your permit issue date is filled in, that your address is correct, ensure you have a valid, acceptable email address/es entered that you regularly and check and update your cell phone number if necessary. For communication between Schedule 2 Drive, you and us, it's important that this information is accurate.

If you're unable to log-in, it's likely because we do not have your permit number and/or a payment is still due. If you've never done a driving lesson and recently received your permit, please email me at Tenney@swampscott.k12.ma.us  with your SA number and permit issue date, I'll enter it into your profile and activate your account, as long as a payment has been made and processed, you'll then be able to schedule lessons/observations. 

(Please give us 1-5 business days to complete this)

All newly starting students really should schedule their first times on the road with us an observation then drive or vice versa. Which means you will be in the car for 2 hours(RMV policy maximum). Example; 2:45pm-4:45pm or 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

Students should not be scheduling more than 2-3 lessons(hours) per month. That is what we've always suggested because it's the most educationally sound way of learning one of the most important skills a new teen driver needs. In some circumstances, we will allow it, but that is a case-by-case basis. Any student that schedules more than the 2-3 lessons(hours) per month without prior approval or proper payment will have them canceled within the Schedule 2 Drive system. 

**********

Transferring to Another Driving School?

All requests to transfer to another driving school must come from the school. You contact the school you want to transfer to, they initiate the transfer through the RMV and all completed components are transferred over to the new school.

Please allow up to 10 business days for this request to be completed.
