CLASSROOM PROCEDURE AND ABSENCE POLICY

This letter is to inform you of the procedures of Cornhusker Driving School on absences from class and missed driving sessions. We try at all times to be a flexible as possible, however, we are finding it more difficult to make so many concessions without interrupting the classroom environment.

In the past we have allowed students to miss a class due to different reasons. We have found that it is becoming a problem and disruption to other classes when students from previous classes are making up times in new classes. We do not want to have to install a charge for missed classes so we ask that you commit to all class times or choose another class that would work better for your students schedules. We do allow students to miss if they are sick personally or a family member is sick, in the hospital or has passed away. We will no longer allow students to miss scheduled class times for school activities, special interests and sporting events. Emergencies only.

As for the drive times, we ask the students give us at least 24 hours notice (unless again it is emergency or sickness) when canceling or rescheduling a scheduled driving session. Our instructors do not carry cellular phones and are scheduled in the way that their lessons are back to back. Drive times are easier to reschedule when we are notified as soon as possible. To change a drive time, the student or parent must call the secretary at 341-4555 and change appointed times with her. If the secretary is not available, leave a message and she will return your call as soon as possible. If a student misses a drive time without notifying Cornhusker Driving School within 24 hours of the drive time, a $40.00 fee will be requested.

The student is also required to complete a driving test conducted by Cornhusker Driving School. We give the students two chances to pass the test within the last session of driving. If the student does not pass the test within the assigned time, we will have to schedule an additional drive session to re-test. We do charge $40.00 for a student to re-test past the first two chances of testing. We will let you know if your student is not ready to test so that we can avoid extra charges for re-testing. We will discuss practice time with you and your student and allow them a later date to test if they are not prepared for the final drive test.

Students are required by the State of Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles to complete 20 hours of classroom, 2-5 hours of driving (depending on experience) and a drive test. All of these must be completed before the waiver form and insurance certificate will be issued.

We appreciate your business and hope to help you and your student in any way we can to become a qualified and safe driver. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at one of the options listed above.
