Below are important notes regarding the classes:
•
Missing class # 1 is not an option
.
In that class, we review all aspects of how the program works and students MUST be present.
•
The State of Massachusetts requires that students attend ALL class sessions. Students who miss any other class (#2-15) must make up the actual class missed, as each one covers distinct curriculum (i.e. if you miss Class #5, you must make up Class #5).
•
Contact

to find out when the class needed will next be offered.
If a student misses 3 or more classes, Community Education will charge a $100 fee.
Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students may have to wait longer than usual to make up a class, as we are limited to the number of classes being offered throughout the year.
•
Missing classes can delay the in-car driving lessons.
Classes #2-5 cover the rules of the road and must be completed before a student can take an in-car driving lessons.
