Spring 2018 Driver Education Program

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a driver education program during the spring semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/).  WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Monday – Friday, April 9th – 25th (excluding April 18th) in Foundation Hall from 3:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $350 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.

Any Model UN Members interested in the one-day CharMUN Women’s Issues Scrimmage should come see Mrs. Shaefer ASAP so she can put a roster together. This event is at Charlotte Latin on April 28 and would be a great way for younger members to gain experience. Please let Mrs. Shaefer know if you are interested so she can plan a meeting for next week. The registration deadline is March 23.
