Attention 10th grade students and parents:

The state of Virginia requires all 10th grade students and their parent/guardian to attend a 90-minute traffic safety program as part of the classroom driver education instruction. This requirement began in the 2010-2011 school year and must be met before a student will receive a Driver Education Certificate of Completion (DEC-1 card/pink card).

This is a requirement for current FCPS 10th and 11th grade students. Most 11th grade students went to this last year and do not need to go again. 11th grade students that did not attend last year need to sign up in advance to attend. The fee for any student beyond 10th grade is $30. There is no need to sign up…just show up. All programs will be starting at 7:00pm.  All sessions will be held in the school auditorium. If you are unable to attend any of the times/dates listed for the 22-23 school year additional program dates will be offered during the summer through Adult Community Education (ACE). You are strongly encouraged to mark your calendar now and plan to attend. You may attend any session -- preferably before or during the quarter your child has their classroom driver education instruction. If you have any questions, please contact Hall Vought @email or Coach Nikki Spagina @email  Please be aware of the following procedures that have been established to fulfill the requirements of the new law:

• Student must attend with their parent/guardian.
• Attendance for FULL 90 minutes is required
• Proper completion of the attendance google form or hand-written form required (received at the end of the session).
• Program must be completed during the year student is enrolled in Grade 10 HPE.
• No fees are charged to FCPS students currently enrolled in Grade 10 HPE.

Replacement Charges for Reissued Drivers Education Pink Cards

Effective December 7th, 2013 there will be a $10.00 replacement charge for all reissued drivers education green cards.

Each child receives a driver’s education pink card at the completion of the classroom drivers education course with a passing grade and the PSTD 90 minute course.  Students take the  driver’s education classroom course through 10th grade Health and Physical Education Class and the Parent and Safe Teen Driver Course is offered at Hayfield throughout the year.  Students will not be issued a driver’s education pink card if both of these items are not completed and if the passing grade in the classroom portion is not achieved.

The $10.00 replacement fee can be paid to the high school finance office and the card will be available for pick up in the main office 48 hours from that date.
