Mohonasen is offering a Fall 2026 Driver Education Program. The program will run from September 14, 2026 to January 13, 2027. Registrants must have a driver’s permit before September 14.
You can register here. Limited spots are available, and the program is offered to students outside the district.
The district is almost done with its third year of driver education. Over 150 students have enrolled and accumulated over 20,000 miles since the start of the program (Summer of 2024).
Some benefits of completing a Driver Education program include:
- Most insurance companies offer a discount for completion of an accredited Driver and Traffic Safety Education (DTSE) program
- Students who successfully complete an accredited DTSE program are eligible for unrestricted driving privileges (Senior License) at age 17 rather than 18
- Students who successfully complete an accredited DTSE program are NOT required to complete the five (5) hour pre-licensing course prior to their DMV road test
Driving groups meet once per week on a fixed schedule. Driving times are Mondays from 3-4:30 p.m., and Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 3-4:30 p.m. or 4:30- 6 p.m.
All students are required to attend the classroom portion of the session, which will be held on Mondays from 4:30-6 p.m. Attendance is mandatory.
There are two payment options. The first is to pay online at FamilyID, and the second is to pay with a check made payable to Rotterdam Mohonasen Central School District (add Driver Ed and student name in memo) to be delivered to the District Office. No refunds will be given after the session begins.
Students will be required to attend a mandatory scheduling meeting on Wednesday September 9, 2026, at the CAT Cafe/Commons from 2:30-3 p.m. to establish driving times.
