Student Safety

Student Safety is our TOP priority: Each driver's ed car is well above state safety standards and equipped with live GPS tracking, surveillance cameras, and all instructors are background-checked prior to hiring.

Prompt Pick-Up & Behavior Policy Contract

It is essential that the student be picked up promptly at their scheduled time. Once office hours are closed, if the student is not picked up promptly, it can delay the next student drive session as our instructors are on a tight schedule. Our instructors only have a few minutes between each drive. If an instructor has to wait for a student to be picked up for safety reasons, it will disrupt all subsequent driving sessions.

If the student has not been picked up by the time his/her instructor has to begin the next drive session. Our driving school, under penalty of law, may not allow a student to wait for their ride without supervision. If the instructor does not have a following student, he/she will stay behind to wait for the student's ride. An instructor staying past their scheduled time is costly to the company. If the student is picked up more than 10 minutes past his/her drive session or classroom time, his/her account will be charged $1 per minute after office hours. Please understand that it is not our wish to charge this fee to anyone, but the timely pickup of students is vital to the continued effective operation of our business, the safety of your children, and the respect and courtesy of our staff and other students.

Student Misconduct in the Classroom Policy

Students are not allowed to be on their cell phones except when instructed and permitted for quizzes.
Students are not allowed to be disruptive, as this prevents the instructor from staying on schedule and distracts others from learning.
Students are not allowed to use notes during testing.
Students are not allowed to sleep during class.

When a student is continually disruptive in the classroom and does not respond to correction, the parent will be notified. If the student's behavior does not change, they may be subject to a delay in taking the State Test, a delayed driving schedule, or removal from the class without a full refund.
