Bigfork High School

Drivers Education

Welcome and thank you for choosing Bigfork Drivers Education

Registration for Drivers ed classes for the summer and the fall are now open.There are limited spots so if you are interested in both classes please sign up for both. The summer wait list will not roll into the fall class. 

A couple of things to keep in mind before signing up for Drivers Education at Bigfork Schools:

 

1. Your student/students need to be the legal age of 14 ½ years old by the time the State written TELL exam is given. The TELL stands for “Traffic Education Learners License”. This test is given out three weeks into class.

2. The parent meeting is mandatory and counts as 1 contact day towards the state requirements.

3. The state has mandated 25 contact days, 42 classroom hours, 6 hours of behind the wheel, 18 hours of observation. If your child is in sports this may not be a good time for traffic education. Please sign up for the appropriate class where you child may be present for every class. They may not miss more than two classes.

4. When it comes to obtaining your TELL, within 6 months your student needs to have 50 hours of supervised driving with any licensed adult over the age of 18. 10 of these hours need to be at night. Restricted hours are from 11 pm to 5 am.

5. Please remember to bring with you to the parent meeting a copy of the students birth certificate and social security number so it can be put on the application.

Bigfork Students will have first priority for the classes.  Any students out of district will be on the waiting list and added to the class if an opening comes available.

If you have any questions, please call the high school office.

Please register your students via the registration forms on this page. Once the class is full, any additional registrants will be placed on the waitlist for that course. You will receive a phone call once you registered to confirm if your student is registered.

**Students who are on the waitlist for a drivers ed class will not be automatically rolled into a later class.  You may sign up for multiple classes.**
Payments must be paid prior to the parent meeting and can be dropped off at the HS office.
