Course Expectations

Iroquois Driver Education is a non-credit bearing course designed to educate students on appropriate driving skills and habits and to help prepare them to be responsible drivers.

Students are expected to:

  • Attend every in-class and in-car session. The attendance policy is posted on the website.
  • Arrive on time for every in-class and in-car session.
  • You MUST bring your permit with you to EVERY in-car session.
  • Car assignments are established and will not change to accommodate friend requests. Car assignments may be changed by administration if necessary.
  • Double check the car and classroom for your belongings. Iroquois Driver Education is NOT responsible for lost or stolen items.
  • Electronic device use (cell phones, AirPods, etc.) is NOT permitted in the car or classroom.
  • School policies are also in effect for Driver Education. This includes but is not limited to the dress code and behavior expectations. Inappropriate behavior/disturbances in the car or classroom may result in dismissal from the program without refund.
  • Flip flops or any shoes without heel straps are not permitted during in-car instruction.

Iroquois Driver Education will:

  • Electronically Notify the NYS DMV of successful completion of a NYS-DTSE (Driver and Traffic Safety Education) approved 48-Hour Driver Education Program. As of February 2026, the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles has discontinued the issuance of paper MV-285 Driver Education Certificates of Completion and is transitioning to an Electronic Driver’s Ed Certificate. Students must satisfy the attendance requirements, passed the in-car portion with a minimum grade of 65 AND passed the in-class portion with a minimum grade of 65. Once verification has been submitted by Iroquois to the DMV (within 24 hours of course completion), students will automatically have an Electronic Driver Ed Certificate on their DMV record.
