Behind-the-Wheel – rules and expectations

– To sign up for BTW training go to the UH website (http://www.ulenhitterdal.k12.mn.us).  From there go to Mr. Hemberger’s website (http://www.ulenhitterdal.k12.mn.us/page/3248).   To schedule a BTW appointment click on Links in the left column. Link #1 will bring you to my BTW appointment calendar.  Find the day and time that works for you and click on that session. REMEMBER the date and time you picked!

– Before your last session you need to pay the office $250 ($300 out of district). (You can us the UHHS E-Store on the school website!!)

– Session start times vary from day-to-day but I will usually have 4 sessions a day Monday-Wednesday. (Thursday-Sunday by appointment and by contacting me only)  

– You will be driving/observing for a total of 12 hours. 

                 – 1st Session – Partner drive / 4 hours / We will be driving to Hawley

                  – 2nd Session – Partner drive / 4 hours / We will be driving to Detroit Lakes
                  
                  – 3rd Session – Partner drive / 4 hours / We will be driving to Fargo-Moorhead

– You MUST bring your permit or papers if you want to drive with Mr. Hemberger.

– I and your partner need to know well in advance of your session if you need to reschedule.

– Be on time!  If you are late we will not be driving that day.

– Do not schedule consecutive days for your sessions.  Two weeks between driving sessions is preferred. This allows you to practice and get better at driving skills that need work.

-Your partner should be someone close in age with you.  That ensures that you will both have your permits when you are ready to start BTW.

– Receiving your White Card after completion of 6 hours of BTW is NOT guaranteed.  Those that don’t receive their card will be asked to practice with parents and sign up for another 2 hour session.

– When you are observing when doing the partner drive no phones, books or headphones are allowed.

– For general information about Drivers Ed your can go to Mr. Hemberger’s school webpage and click on the Drivers Ed link in the left hand column.
