If a student is unable to fulfill the following requirements, then summer school Driver Education should not be considered. In addition, because the summer school program is over a shorter period of time than during the regular school year,  parents need to be prepared to spend the required hours beyond the school day to practice driving with their student drivers.

• Driver education is offered at Hinsdale South and Hinsdale Central
   

• Students must be 15 years of age on or before June 7th

• Students will meet in the Driver Education room during their lunch periods on either Tuesday May 7th or Tuesday May 21st.  During the meeting students will take the permit and vision test at their school.  If a student has a conflict and cannot attend, they must reach out ahead of time to make alternate arrangements with the driver education coordinator in the building where they are signed up to take the class. Your chrome book will be needed.  We ask that students bring a $20 check/money order made out to the IL Secretary of State when they meet during their lunch period. Students will need to have their  application signed and returned the next school day, students can drop off the application and check at the greeter’s desk of their respective school by Friday, May 24th. District 86 instructors will deliver applications and pick up permits at the DMV for students. No need for parents to make a trip to the DMV. 
   

• Note- if a student turns 15 between May 7th and June 7th, we will still collect the application, but cannot obtain the permit until their 15th birthday.
   

•  To prepare for the permit test, please follow this link to the Illinois Rules of the Road. The test has 40 questions which are made up of multiple choice, T/F, and sign identification. Here is a study guide for you to use to guide you in your preparation.  In addition to the course fee, a $20.00 check or money order written out to the Secretary of State will be collected after students return their signed permit application form which they will receive after passing their permit test.  Students must be able to attend in-person classroom instruction at your school between 9 am to 12 pm on the following dates: Monday June 3rd through Thursday June 6th; Monday June 10th through Thursday June 13th;  Monday June 17th, Tuesday June 18th, Thursday June 20th.  The District 86 summer school policy states that a student will be dropped from the class if they miss more than two days of classroom. 
   

• Students must be able to work with their instructors to schedule times for behind-the-wheel instruction between 7:00am- 2:00pm M-F from June 3rd-July 19. Driving may be completed no sooner than July 3rd, but for flexibility we can schedule out thru July 26 to accommodate students. Instructors will give scheduling preference for these driving times in order of birth date and will be determined by the last week of May. 
   

• Students must provide their own transportation for in-person classroom instruction and behind the wheel instruction. District bus transportation is unavailable for this course.
   

• Students may ONLY register for another summer school course if it meets online and does not require scheduled meeting times.
