Steps to get Registered for DRIVERS ED!

1. Get Your Child’s Driver's Permit

• Your child needs to get a Verification of Compliance (VOC) from the school counselor. It is a verification that they are a student in our district and is one of the required documents for the DMV.
• Make an appointment to get your child’s driver's permit. It costs $26.50 through your local DMV.

A parent who is on the birth certificate must be present.

        Fremont County does not require an appointment, but you must be there by 4:00pm, phone number: (208) 624-4482.

                After the appointment, they will give you a receipt with a permit number on it. You will need this to register

for the IDLA class.

The permit will be sent to the school where we will hold it until drivers ed is completed and passed with at least at 80%.

3.        Complete the New Student IDLA Orientation

• Your student MUST complete an IDLA orientation before the drivers ed class. The orientation class teaches them how to use the IDLA program. If it is not completed before the class start date, your student will be dropped from the course. A link will be sent from IDLA for the orientation and can be accessed after a portal account is created.
• After a student completes the registration form, registers, and is approved and payment has been made, they will receive the following emails from IDLA: one with their login and password; one with information about their orientation session; and one confirming enrollment in a course(s).

What is the Idaho Digital Learning Alliance?

The Idaho Digital Learning Alliance (IDLA) is a state-sponsored, accredited, online school. All IDLA courses are taught by Idaho-certified teachers. IDLA teachers can be contacted by phone or email and have designated office hours.

What is orientation?

Students who are taking an IDLA class are required to complete an orientation course. The orientation course must be completed before the first day of the IDLA course. If orientation is not completed, IDLA will automatically drop the student from their desired course. The purpose of orientation is to help students learn how to navigate through their online course, post assignments, communicate with their teacher, and post to discussion boards.

What can I expect from my instructor?

• The teacher will contact students during the first week of class. • The teacher should maintain weekly and timely contact with students via phone, email or Instant Messenger. • The teacher should respond within 24 hours to parent or student emails. • The teacher should communicate in advance if they will be out-of-town and/or unavailable for any extended period. • The teacher should post announcements regularly for the course. • The teacher should maintain regular contact with site coordinator and parents. • The teacher should post progress reports every two weeks that are received by students, parents, and the site coordinator.

Tips for successful completion:

• Review the course syllabus and schedule so you are aware of the deadlines. • IDLA recommends you log in daily to keep up on your weekly assignments, review discussion boards, and work a little on assignments each day. • Don’t hesitate to ask your teacher, online principal, or IDLA office if you have questions.

Suggestions for parents:

Students are successful when their parents are involved in the process. Parents need to provide their email addresses when a student registers, so they will receive progress reports. It is also helpful to get the student’s login and password to monitor their progress. This will provide full access to the class, grade book, and discussions.

STATE CAN REGISTER FOR THE COURSE.
