Drivers Education Program
March 05, 2008
Andover Public Schools is pleased to announce plans for the 2008 Drivers Education Program. Students will have the option of enrolling in either an on-line or traditional option:
ON-LINE
Students that enroll in the on-line course will receive course
books and will be allowed to access coursework via a web address
and a password that will be provided. To pass the course, students
must have 80% mastery on unit tests and the final. Students are
encouraged to do the chapter reviews at the end of the units to
help prepare for each unit test, and to use the study guide for the
final. All unit tests must be completed before taking the final.
Students will have access to the material for a 4 week period from
April 28 through May 27. The final is required and will be
administered at Andover Central High School at 9 a.m. on Saturday,
May 31, 2008.
TRADITIONAL
Students will still have the option of taking the course in the
traditional classroom model. The class size will depend on the
number of students who take this option, but it is usually very
large. Students must attend all classroom sessions. The dates and
times of the sessions are:
Saturday, April 26, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Saturday, May 3, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Saturday, May 10, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Saturday, May 17, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Tuesday, May 27, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Wednesday, May 28, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Thursday, May 29, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Friday, May 30, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
Saturday, May 31, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at ACHS
The driving portion of the course is the same for both options. Students will sign up for an 8 day session (weekdays only). We will fill each session by age (oldest to youngest) for the applications received by March 14. Any received after that date will be assigned according to when received rather than age.
Students receive high school credit for this course and the grade will count toward their accumulative G.P.A. The driving portion of the test accounts for 60% of their final grade. Their driving skill could impact their final grade. A copy of the course curriculum is available upon request.
Several meeting dates are set to further explain the Drivers Education Program. Parents and students are invited to attend. The dates and times for the meetings are:
Wednesday, Feb. 27, 7:50 a.m. at AMS
Wednesday, Feb. 27, 10:30 a.m. at ACMS
Thursday, Feb. 28, 9:25 a.m. at AHS
Friday, Feb. 29, 10:30 a.m. at ACHS
To complete enrollment please fill out all 3 pages of the application and return to Jenise Hurley at Andover Central High School, along with payment, by March 14.
