To the Student Driver and their Parents/Guardians: The techniques students will use in this course are designed to help students become smart and aware drivers. Stevenson’s Driver Ed. team stresses the importance of becoming a “defensive driver,” that is, to drive in such a way as to protect yourself from the unexpected moves of others. Due to the fact that students will be driving for such a short period of time (6 hours of actual driving), it is important that we work together to accomplish our objectives. This guide is designed to give you a preview of each lesson. If students use it for this purpose, they will come to class each day with a clear picture of how each maneuver is performed. It is REQUIRED that students bring this packet with them to class EVERY day along with their permit. After every drive, teacher and student will discuss the lesson, including strengths and areas for improvement. If this packet is lost, it is the students’ responsibility to go to the SHS Driver Education website (www6.district125.k12.il.us/drivered/) to download and print another copy. NO additional packets will be issued from the instructor. ALL Missed drives will have to be made up during a free period, if necessary. Three missed lessons, due to not having packet or excessive absences, will result in finishing the behind the wheel portion of Driver Ed. during the following semester. PLEASE NOTE THERE MAYBE A CHANCE THAT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER WILL HAVE TO DRIVE ONE-­‐ON-­‐ONE WITH AN INSTRUCTOR. If there is a preference of a male or female instructor (in a one-­‐on-­‐one setting) please advise his/her teacher beforehand. Signing below states that you are aware of this and have no particular preference. It is our sincere hope that you will become a safe and responsible driving member of society. Sincerely, Driver Education Teachers **I have read through this packet and understand the rules and guidelines for Driver Education at Stevenson High School. (Students will not start driving until signed) ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature Student Signature SHS DRIVER EDUCATION
