Moore County Schools Drivers Education Mission: To administer a high quality driving program to Moore County students by providing them a solid foundation of necessary tools, knowledge and skills to prepare them for lifelong habits on how to be safe, confident, and defensive drivers.
As of July 1, 2024 - Any paperwork that needs to be reissued, will have a fee of $5. Payment is due at time of receiving new documents. This includes the eligibility certificates, even if they have expired.
Online Asynchronous classes, such as, dmvedu.org, etc., are not accepted as a valid Driver Education course in the state of NC.
Be sure to read all the information.
You
should start planning when your student is near 14 1/2 years of age.
Consider extra-curricular activities when planning. Contact coaches and
other after-school activities supervisors to avoid scheduling
conflicts. All class registration is non-refundable and not transferable
to other classes. Please make sure your student is able to attend
classes that they have signed up for. Once classes are full, transfers
are NOT permitted.
Classes are identified as in-person or virtual on the registration site in the Online School Payment System.
Be sure you are choosing the right fit for your student.
If a
student is disruptive or falls asleep during class, they will either be
asked to leave class and need to make up the time or be permanently removed from the class.
Virtual Classes:
The
instructors for virtual classes will email orientation material for
their class approximately 7-10 days prior to the beginning date of the
class. If you do not receive this email please contact the coordinator
at [email protected]. During the traditional school year, classes run for 3 hours and begin at 4:30 pm. Virtual classes will have live instruction for the duration of the 30 class hours.
All FINAL exams will be taken in person. Students
that do not have their camera on during the class will be considered
absent during the time their camera is off and will need to make up
time. If any time missed is over 3 hours, the student will need to
retake the class. Please make sure you are an active participant during class time.
Students
from North Moore, Pinecrest, Union Pines, Registered Home Schools (MUST
provide documentation), NC Charter schools (In Moore County), or
Private NC schools (in Moore County), can register for any class
scheduled below. Students that reside and/or attend schools in other counties, are not eligible to attend classes in Moore County.
All class registration is non-refundable and not transferable to other classes.

General Information
To participate in Moore County Schools Driver Education, students aged
14 1/2 (prior to the first day of class) to 18 (must be under 18) must
register online or submit a Fee Reduction application (see "register"
section). Students MUST attend school in Moore County.
**Summer and Spring Break Addendum Information
Classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday – Thursday.
Bring lunch, snacks and pencil/paper. Class location will be disclosed
prior to class start dates.
Instructor will need to see original Social Security card and certified birth
certificate or other Proof of ID before a student can take the driving portion of Driver
Education. We do not copy or keep the documentation. It is for
verification only. No copies allowed.
Students may miss no more than 3 hours of class time. If more than 3 hours is missed, the student will be dismissed from class and will need to retake the class (this includes registering for class again and paying the fee again). Missed
time (under 3 hours) must be made up after the final exam. Multiple
times may be missed, but not more than 3 hours total.
Class Schedules are subject to change. If the schedule is changed, the
scheduled school will make an announcement or the instructor will notify
students. Classes are not held on early dismissal days, teacher
workdays or if after school activities are canceled because of inclement
weather or other unforeseen circumstance.
Intervals between Classroom and Behind the Wheel (BTW) Instruction
We are averaging between 10-16 weeks in between Classroom and Behind the Wheel Instruction.
Please keep in mind that with 35 students in a class, that is 210 drive
hours for all students to complete the behind the wheel portion per
class. An instructor will reach out to you to schedule as soon as they
are able.
Older students are given priority to schedule BTW instruction. Remember
that vision testing and credential submission is the “starting point”
for entering the BTW queue.
“Helpful Hint”: Have your student take a picture of their completed Form 800 for later reference and tracking!
Please make sure students
are adhering to the school dress code policy during class and the Behind
the Wheel portion of the program. Failure to dress appropriately could
result in rescheduling training time.
We are not responsible for missed DMV appointments made in advance of your child receiving BTW instruction.
What do I need to have my child bring to THEIR SCHOOL PRIOR to their DMV appointment, for their permit?
If you attend Connect Virtual Academy - please go to West Pine Elementary School - CVA office is located in their building.
If you homeschool or attend a verified online school - you will need to obtain an eligibility certificate from the NC Department of Non Public Education.
