Summer Driver Education 2010
Slinger High School
About our Program
Slinger High School offers a high quality, comprehensive, Driver Education program with well-trained, experienced instructors. Our classroom portion includes not only thorough information on driving knowledge and laws, but also covers attitudes, emotions, alcohol, insurance and more. We also have a variety of guest speakers, typically including people from law enforcement, insurance, an organ donation agency, and the trucking industry. Our caring instructors will provide a meaningful experience for your son or daughter.
Driver Education classroom and behind the wheel (BTW) will again be offered in the summer. Behind the wheel will be offered in September also. The following is a summary of the program. We will do our best to accommodate people’s needs. If you have further questions please contact Duane Apel at apeld@slinger.k12.wi.us or call 644-5261. Registration materials will be available March 1st and due March 31st with students' schedules posted at school by April 14th.

When can my son/daughter get their permit (or “temps”)?
This is always the BIG question! Due to state regulations, students may not get their permit until they are 15½ years old, AND are within 60 days of starting formal BTW driving instruction. Students who take classroom and BTW through Slinger High School are given the written permit test during their classroom session this summer. If they pass they may then go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and pick up their permit. That will be about one week into the classroom session. That is how the eligibility dates below are established. NOTE: Students must start BTW instruction within 13 months of completing classroom, according to state regulations.
Eligibility Dates for Enrolling for:
BTW Session 1: Students must turn age 15 on or before Dec. 22, 2009
BTW Session 2: Students must turn age 15 on or before Jan. 8, 2010
BTW Session 3: Students must turn age 15 on or before Jan. 29, 2010
Fall BTW: Students must turn age 15 on or before Feb. 28, 2010
Registration ~ Scheduling ~ Fees:
Registration materials are available March 1st in the high school office or online on this web page. Watch the school newsletter and students should listen to daily announcements for details. Students are scheduled in birth date order with the oldest students receiving first priority.
Fees: Classroom - $10
Behind the Wheel - $185
Private Driving Businesses:
Students who have turned 15 by June 11, 2010 may take the June classroom instruction, and students who turn 15 by July 19, 2010 may take the July classroom session through Slinger High School this summer and then enroll at a private driving company for BTW instruction after they turn 15½. Students choosing this option will have to take the permit test on their own at the DMV after classroom instruction is completely finished. Be aware that BTW must be started within 13 months of the completion of classroom instruction due to state regulations.
