Learner's Permit SHHS

Students who are 15 years or older and registered students at Sleepy Hollow High School can take the Learner Permit Test given by The New York State's Department of Motor Vehicles at Sleepy Hollow High School over the Internet. The test is offered in English, Spanish and twelve other languages, results are immediate. Students who pass the online test will get a receipt and other forms which they can take to any DMV office upon their 16th birthday and apply for a permit (see below for office location information). Students who do not pass the test can retake the test as many times as is necessary.

Those who need a study book, please see Ms. Farmer or Ms. Mullin in the Sleepy Hollow High School Library prior to taking the test.

The Learner Permit exam is administered at Sleepy Hollow High School for SHHS students only. Ms. Mullin administers the test during a student’s free time before or after school and Ms. Farmer administers during (Study Hall 4th Period and Lunch A). Students must pre-register with the Sleepy Hollow High School Library.

Students must bring proof of identification on the day of the test. The only acceptable forms of identification are:

• School photo ID
• NYSDMV-issued document

The test will not be administered without proof of identification. More information about applying for a Learner Permit can be found at https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/get-driver-license

Many students take advantage of this service which allows them to avoid the hassle of taking the test at the Department of Motor Vehicles offices in either Yonkers or Peekskill.

The SHHS Library offers this service as a courtesy and balances the service with the need to support daily educational activities at the school so as not to interfere with instruction.

If you are unable to take the test at the High School, you may schedule a test at a NYS DMV Office. (Information updated for COVID-19)
