These two students recently chose to “skip the trip” to the courthouse and take their permit test right here at school.
Seymour CSD offers the driver’s permit test in-house, which helps save families time, avoids scheduling challenges, and reduces missed class time for students.
If you have a student who needs to take the permit test, we encourage you to “skip the trip” and take advantage of this option at school.
