Welcome
What We Know Through May 15, 2020
Covid-19 has disrupted all facets of education in ways we could never have imagined. That being said there are some near term takeaways for Drivers Education from the Governor’s most recent extension of school closures through May 15, 2020.
- The general rule is that Drivers Education tracks regular school: if school is in session, Drivers Education is in session; if school is suspended, Drivers Education is suspended.
- All previously scheduled classes through May 15 are cancelled subject to rescheduling when schools reopen.
- All enrollments and fees paid will be honored! Those enrolled in the cancelled classes will be given their choice of the next available classes or a refund from the school hosting the class in which they were enrolled.
- The same procedure will apply if it becomes necessary to cancel June classes.
The situation is obviously fluid at this point, but we will do our best to keep you informed. Please check back with this site frequently
ALL Drivers Education activity (classroom instruction AND Behind The Wheel instruction) will be suspended during the period of the recent Moore County School closures due to the Covid-19 virus. In general, Drivers Education follows the status of regular school classes: when school is closed, Drivers Education is closed. We will resume Drivers Education when school re-opens. We will announce any further changes in class schedules as soon as we are able. Thank you for your patience.
!SPECIAL REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SUMMER CLASSES!
PINECREST: SUMMER CLASSES REGISTRATION WILL GO ONLINE 12 NOON APRIL 13, 2020.
UNION PINES: SUMMER CLASSES REGISTRATION WILL GO ONLINE 12:30 PM APRIL 13, 2020.
NOTE AS CLASSES BECOME FULL THE CLASS DATES BELOW WILL BE RED
To participate in Moore County Schools Driver Education students 14 1/2 (on the first day of class) thru 18 (must be under 18) must register online or submit a Fee Waiver application(see "register" section). Also, students MUST be enrolled in school in Moore County, whether public school, private school, home school, or charter school. Or, students must live in Moore County. (We are funded based on enrollment in the above types of schools)
Please be advised that we do not accept "walk-ins" and there is no "wait list". In the rare event that there are last minute openings, they are given to students who need special consideration as specified by law.
We are often asked why we do not offer more classes. We offer enough classes to meet the needs of our student population and simply cannot afford to offer classes that are not full. You should start planning when a student is near 14-1/2 years of age. Consider extra curricular activities as well when planning. Contact coaches and other after-school activities supervisors to avoid scheduling conflicts.
The information on this site is broken down in three sections:
- Register
- Classroom
- Driving
After reading the schedule and general information below, click on each section at the bottom of the page for detailed information. Be sure to read all the information. If it is on this site, it is important!
The Driver's Education office is a part-time office and is not open every day. Phone calls and emails will be responded to as soon as possible.
