PTSA/SCHOOL INFORMATION
 
Accident Avoidance
Car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers. Unlike driver’s ed, the Accident Avoidance Workshops specializes in teaching our students how to respond when everything goes horribly wrong to improve their chances of avoiding a fatal accident. This is a 7-hour, parent-participation program done in the student’s own vehicle, and it will be returning right here at Kell on March 11th – 14th. The program is certified as a Level 5 Defensive Driving program by the National Defensive Driving Institute. Both students and parents alike are eligible to receive a Defensive Driving Certificate for completing this program. Kell High School offers this program at a discount, but space is limited. For more information, you can view the invitation on Kell’s website. To register, call 770-971-0571.
