Upon receipt of such report, the Department of Driver Services shall notify (by certified mail or statutory overnight delivery) any minor (between the ages of 14 and 18) who has been issued an instruction permit or driver’s license that such minor’s instruction permit or driver’s license is suspended for one year or until the minor’s eighteenth birthday, whichever comes first.

Driver’s Education

The Marietta/Cobb Driver’s Education program is a combined program of the Marietta City and Cobb County school systems and operated through Marietta Community School. The program consists of 30 hours of classroom and 6 hours of behind-the wheel instruction designed to teach new drivers fundamental skills and basic knowledge about driving a motor vehicle. The program curriculum and instructors are approved and licensed by the Department of Driver Services.  

Classes are taught year-round at Marietta High School and various Cobb County high schools. Exact dates, locations, cost, and registration information may be obtained at https://mariettacommunityschool.ce.eleyo.com/.

Bus Conduct and Bus Passes  

Maintaining proper conduct while on the school bus shall be the responsibility of the student. Students will observe the same code of conduct on the bus as they would on the school campus. Serious or continued misconduct will result in disciplinary action which may include suspension from the bus. Students must board the bus at their assigned stop. DO NOT CROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC as a short-cut to another bus stop.  

IF YOUR BUS IS LATE TO SCHOOL, you must enter through the doors of the front lobby in order to obtain a LATE BUS PASS from Admin I.  Your tardy will be counted as an unexcused tardy to class if you do not present a late bus pass to your teacher in a timely manner.

In accordance with Cobb County policy, students may be transported from and returned to their residences only. Students who need to ride a bus other than their assigned bus must bring a note from a parent with a phone number to Attendance before 11:30 A.M. on the day the change is needed. In addition to the phone number of the parent, include the following information in the note:  

• student’s name and student ID  
• date of change  
• bus number the student will be riding
• name of the student where the rider will be a guest   
• name and phone number of the parent of the student where the rider will be a guest

If parent cannot be reached, student may NOT change buses. NO PASSES will be issued at dismissal. Bus changes will only be granted for childcare or academic purposes. Students may not ride a middle school or elementary school bus to or from school.   

No bus passes will be issued on Final Exam days.

Late bus passes will be given to students if their bus arrives at Wheeler after 8:15.  Students with late bus passes are expected to get breakfast and report directly to class.
