Description:
SUMMER CLASSROOM DRIVER EDUCATION
The state of Minnesota requires anyone under the age of 18 wishing to obtain a MN Driver’s License to complete an approved course in driver education. This course must include a minimum of 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. Our Driver Education program offers both of these and are taught by certified licensed instructors.
STUDENTS: The first phase of driver education, 30 hours of in-class instruction, prepares students for the knowledge (instruction permit) test. Students increase their understanding of basic skills, principles, and processes of responsible driving. Areas of concentration include driver's rights and responsibilities, alcohol and other drugs, signs-signals-road markings, rules of the road, safe driving tips, Minnesota traffic laws, and limitations for teen drivers. Upon successfully completing the classroom instruction, students will receive their blue card (certificate of course completion). The blue card is required to take the permit test at the DMV.
- Students may enroll in Classroom Driver Education at 14 years of age, but they must be age 15 to take the permit test.
- Students are expected to attend every class for the entire 3 hours of each class.
- There is only ONE make-up day on Wednesday, June 26, 2024. If a student misses more than one class, there will be an extra charge for each day missed.
- Class size is limited to 30 students so register early!
- Classroom Driver Education will be offered in spring 2025 and again in summer 2025.
Students need to complete the Classroom Driver Education Google form after they register. The link to this Google form can be found on the Driver Education registration page.
PARENTS: The state has passed laws that will affect you.
- The state of Minnesota now requires a "primary driving supervisor" in each household that is in charge of documenting hours driven by your permitted driver.
- They now require 50 logged and documented hours of driving (15 of these at night) before your child can take their road test.
- They now require that a parent (primary driving supervisor) must also attend a 1-1/2 hour Parent/Student Meeting presented by the instructor. If the parent (primary driving supervisor) attends this meeting, the student is only required to log 40 hours.
- The MANDATORY Parent Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2023 @ 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM in the JWP Auditorium.
