PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS

PARENT NIGHT OCCURS ON THE SECOND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH IN LACEY AT 7:00 PM and THE THIRD THURSDAY AT THE TUMWATER LOCATION AT 6:00 PM 

PARENT INVOLVEMENT IS CRITICAL FOR THE STUDENT’S SUCCESS. 50 HOURS OF SUPERVISED DRIVING IS REQUIRED BY WA STATE PRIOR TO RECEIVING A DRIVER’S LICENSE. IF PARENTS REFUSE TO PRACTICE WITH THE STUDENT AND THE STUDENT IS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TASKS OF EACH BTW LESSON, PARENTS WILL NEED TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL DRIVES IN ORDER FOR THE STUDENT TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT DRIVE LESSON. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY PARENT INVOLVEMENT.  ATTENDANCE AT ONE OF OUR “PARENT NIGHTS” IS REQUIRED.

STUDENT AND PARENT RESPONSIBILITY

ALL STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING AND TRACKING THEIR INDIVIDUAL DEADLINES, ABSENCES, AND COURSE PROGRESSION

BTW Practice:  It is 911 Driving School’s practice to have two students in the instructional vehicle at all times.  There are instances when this is not possible. By signing this form, you give 911 Driving School permission to conduct BTW (Behind the Wheel) training in a one-on-one setting.

Behavior: Students are fully accountable for their conduct. Students can be dismissed from the course for misbehavior, cheating (whether sharing or receiving answers), being under the influence of drugs, including alcohol, during any of the instructional phases, misuse or abuse of Traffic Safety Education equipment, repeated and willful violation of traffic laws, failure to complete assigned work and multiple failed tests without a refund.

Attendance: Classroom and BTW instruction will be completed in not less than 30 days and not more than 3 contiguous months. Enrollment will not be allowed after the third class has started. Students must be 15 years old by the first day of class. No more than three absences permitted. All absences and failed tests (scoring less than 80%) must be made up. Students can be dismissed without a refund from the course for excessive tardiness or unexcused absences. 

Certificate: Upon successful completion of all tests and activities required for our program and upon full payment of tuition and fees, a Traffic Safety Education Completion will be entered with DOL.  Extra behind the wheel time, whether desired or required, are $80 an hour.

Organ Donor: Washington State requires our course to include information about the Organ Donor Program. This portion of the course is optional.

Completion of this traffic safety course does not guarantee the student(s) will pass the DOL exam.
