Drivers Ed Overview

Parent/Guardian Class

A parent/guardian class is required for students under 18 years of age. A parent/guardian class is typically held a few days before the student class is scheduled to begin. The date of the parent/guardian class is noted on the class registration form. Students will not be permitted to schedule road lessons (drive times) until the parent/guardian class has been completed.
