Drivers Education

 

DRIVING DATES AND TIMES
MAPLE MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL
 
All dates and times are tentative, please be understanding. There is not a “perfect” schedule that works for everyone. There are always unforeseen circumstances, such as weather related factors and other conflicts that make it difficult to plan very far in advance. The state and school district have also set guidelines that must be followed. 
 
 During the school year, classes will start at 6:00 each morning and will only be held on regular school days. Classes will run for 16 days, 1.5 hours each day. Outside classroom assignments will make up the rest of the required 30 hours of classroom time. Range driving will begin on the Monday of the 2nd week, with individual driving following completion of the range driving.   Range driving will take 12 hours, two hours per day for six days. Individual driving days will follow completion of the range driving. We will try to have all individual driving finished within a one month period. 
 
During the summer, class will begin at 7:00 each morning. Classes will run for 10 days, 3 hours each day. Driving will be in the late mornings and afternoons.
 
The Utah State Office of Education states that –“No student shall drive more than one hour per day or observe more than two hours per day.  No student shall complete the behind-the-wheel instruction in fewer than three weeks”. All of the range driving and most of the road driving during the school year will be done after school.
 
With that in mind, the following dates and times have been set for Driver Education classes at MMHS:
 
March 29 – April 26. Range driving will begin on the 12th. No classes during spring break.
 
May 3 – May 24. Range driving will begin on the 10th.
 
June 7 – June 18. Range driving will begin on the 14th.
 
July 12 – July 23. Range driving will begin on the 19th.
 
August 2 – August 13. Range driving will begin on the 9th.
 
September 7 – September 28. Range driving will begin on the 13th.
 
For students who will be participating in band, cheer, drill, or fall sports, it is recommended that they take Driver Education during the spring or summer to avoid conflicts during the fall.
 
All students must have a valid learner permit and classroom fees, $95.00, paid before the first day of class.
 
You may sign up for a class at the MMHS finance office during regular school hours. If you have any questions, e-mail the Driver Education Coordinator at eric.hyer@nebo.edu.
