CANBY SCHOOL DISTRICT DRIVER EDUCATION

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our ODOT-approved course helps teens become safer, more confident drivers through better situational awareness and lifelong safe driving habits.

Important: This is not a beginner “learn to drive” class. Students must already have basic driving experience.

​

Enrollment Requirements

  • Age 15–17
  • Valid Oregon Instruction Permit (permit number required at registration)
  • At least 10–15 hours of prior driving practice with a licensed adult
  • Full commitment to attend all 16 classroom sessions and all 6 in-car lessons

Attendance & Completion Policy

  • Every classroom session and in-car lesson is mandatory.
  • Missed classroom sessions must be made up in the next course session.
  • Any absences will delay (or prevent) receiving the DMV drive-test waiver.
  • Missed in-car lessons can be rescheduled for a $100 fee per lesson.
Enrollment Policy
  • All families are welcome to submit registration forms as soon as online registration opens.
  • First 24 hours: We only accept students who live in our school district and/or participate at CHS.
  • Starting Day 2: We accept out-of-district students in the exact order their forms were received (first one in gets the first open spot).

Tip for out-of-district families: Submit your registration form as early as possible. It won’t be looked at during the first day, but the earlier you send it, the higher you are in line when we start accepting out-of-district students on Day 2.
