Attendance

Attendance at all  Theory Classes is mandatory. Be certain that you can attend and be on time for all sessions before you register. According to State Law, any absence and/or lateness must be made up. If attendace requirements are not fulfilled, a student will not be issued a certificate of completion and will not receive a refund.

No transportation to and from classes is provided.

There are no refunds or credits for failing to complete the course as a result of absences.



Student Behavior

Students are held to the same code of discipline in Driver Education as in any other Roslyn High School class or activity. A student who is permanently removed from a class or driving group because of inappropriate behavior will not receive a refund and may not be eligible to take the class again.

Upon Completion

Students who successfully complete the requirement for this non-credit course will receive a Student Certificate of Completion (MV285), which includes an insurance premium reduction certificate. After receiving the MV-285 and passing the road test, a 17-year-old is eligible for a regular license, but a 16-year-old is not. There is $10 charge for a replacement certificate.

Classes may be extended beyond the final scheduled dates because of weather-related closings or other circumstances beyond the school district's control. Completion certificates will be distributed on the last day of the term, after all class and driving requirements have been fulfilled, textbook has been returned, and grades have been recorded for both the class and driving components.
