Drivers EducationAll students MUST take and pass Drivers Education to graduate. However, all students are not required to have a drivers license.

We only offer Drivers Education one time at the District’s expense. If your child does not successfully pass Drivers Education, you or yourstudent must pay for this course off campus, at your own expense.

Students must be or will turn 15 in the quarter that Drivers Educationis assigned to your student. For students who have late birthdays (May-August), they will be scheduled to take this course as a sophomore.

Behind the Wheel sessions will now be offered during the school day. It is very possible that your student may be pulled from an elective course on occasion. These sessions will be scheduled by Mr. Creviston.

EXPLORE, PLAN and the ACT

Explore is the first part of a testing system that goes on to include PLAN and the ACT. Typically, students take the EXPLORE in 8th and 9th grades, PLAN as 10th graders, and the PSAE/ACT as 11th graders. All three test in English, Math, Reading and Science. However, the material tested in each program gets more difficult. This is why the top scores are different.

Program Grade Level Composite Score Range

EXPLORE 8 and 9 1 to 25

PLAN 10 1 to 32

ACT 11 1 to 36

There is no fee for the PLAN or EXPLORE test. Administration of theexams will be on our campus.

EXPLORE, PLAN and MAP testing scores will be used to determine a student’s need for intervention.
