Header - Client: Exam Days

.

In this section, a client-side script is provided to offer information about the current day and the next school or exam day. This JavaScript program relies on input data concerning school holidays, days off, and exam days.

  1. Start of the School Year Date (updateStartOfYearDate): This variable can be modified to reflect the actual start date of the school year. For example, if the school year starts on September 1st, 2024, the client can change the date like this: 
    var updateStartOfYearDate = new Date("2024-09-01");
     
  2. List of Days Off (updateListOfDaysOff): This list contains pairs of dates and descriptions of days off. The client can add, remove, or modify days off and their descriptions. Each date should be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD", and the description can be any string. For example, to add another day off on December 1st, 2024, with the description "National Holiday", the client can do this:
    var updateListOfDaysOff = [
        new Date("2024-05-12"), "Parent-Teacher Conferences",
        new Date("2024-10-04"), "Fall Break",
        new Date("2024-12-01"), "National Holiday"
    ];
     
  3. List of Exams (updateListOfExams): This list contains pairs of dates and descriptions of exams. Similar to the list of days off, the client can add, remove, or modify exams and their descriptions. For example, to add another exam on June 15th, 2024, with the description "Mathematics Exam", the client can do this: 
    var updateListOfExams = [
        new Date("2024-05-13"), "Final Exam for Subject X",
        new Date("2024-10-05"), "Final Exam for Subject Y",
        new Date("2024-06-15"), "Mathematics Exam"
    ];

Partners for Safe Teen Driving Meetings

As our teens prepare for the privilege of driving, we must do all we can to ensure their safety and the safety of those with whom they share the road.  Nine out of ten teen drivers identify their parents as having the greatest influence on driving behaviors. With that in mind, parents and the future teen drivers are invited to attend together one of the Partners for Safe Teen Driving presentations offered at each high school.

These presentations bring together parents, students, schools, law enforcement, and community resources to promote safe and responsible driving. The programs are open to the public, but the target audience is the PARENTS of students taking driver education this school year and their children. Student attendance is now required through legislation and parent attendance is highly encouraged since parents are the number one influence on teen driving behaviors.

The program agenda will include:
•    The unique characteristics and risks of teen drivers
•    The important role parents play in the teen driving experience
•    An overview of the driver education program
•    Teen traffic laws and the graduated licensing restrictions
•    Insuring the teen driver
•    A parent’s perspective of a teen crash

Parents and students may attend a presentation on any of the following dates. If the meeting at your child's school is not convenient, you are asked to attend a meeting at another school.  The programs begin at 7:00 p.m. and are approximately ninety minutes long. Your child is REQUIRED to attend a session based on state legislation (Code of Virginia: §22.1-205). If they do not attend one of the presentations, they will not be eligible to get their DEC-1 card and will be unable to take behind-the-wheel training. This will prevent them from being eligible to get their driver’s license. Parents must fill out an opt-out form if they are not going to attend, but this does NOT opt a child out of their requirement.
