Driver's Education Classroom Training (Roosevelt)

The Winter 2026 Session of Drivers Ed at Roosevelt:

Class will meet January 26th - February 6th from 3:20-6:20pm (Monday-Friday afternoons for two weeks) at Roosevelt High School. The cost is $145 with sliding fee options available. Behind the Wheel instruction is not included.

Registration Window: This class will be available for registration online between Monday, December 1st and Friday, December 12th. The class will appear “full”, but it is not… we are requiring everyone to join the waiting list first (which will require completed registration and *payment information) and we will select 30 students at random once the registration window has closed. Students and parent/guardians will be notified via email if they have been selected the week of December 14th, the remaining students will stay on the waiting list and will be notified only if a spot becomes available.

Driver’s Education Classroom Instruction

When registering for classroom instruction online, a parent/guardian must create a profile on mplscommunityed.com to enroll their student.

In this class, students will receive state-required classroom instruction. Students must attend all 30 hours of instruction, no make-up dates are available. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a letter of completion. This class is priced on a sliding fee scale to make our programs more accessible. Families should choose the price they are able to pay. Class is open to students age 14 and older; students cannot receive a permit until their 15th birthday. 

***Registration for the classroom training does not include behind-the-wheel. You must arrange, schedule, and pay for behind-the-wheel training separately with your choice of provider.*** For more information, visit our website: https://sites.google.com/mpls.k12.mn.us/roosevelt-drivers-education/drivers-ed

Minnesota State Law requires students to be present during all 30 hours of classroom training to receive their certificate of completion which allows them to enroll in Behind-the-Wheel Training. Drivers between the ages of fifteen and eighteen wishing to take their instructional permit test have to show proof of enrollment in six hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training. This proof of enrollment is commonly referred to as a blue card. Many of the classroom instructors Minneapolis Community Education contracts also provide Behind-the-Wheel Training through their own agency and they are able to share that information with students. Students are not required to take Behind-the-Wheel Training with their classroom instructor. Minneapolis Community Education makes no recommendation for providers of Behind-the-Wheel Training but can give contact information to families of specific providers upon request. Cost for Behind-the-Wheel Training is not included in the cost of this classroom instruction. 

We look forward to seeing many of you in Drivers Ed! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
