Driver's Education

Shakopee Community Education provides classroom and Behind-the-Wheel driver's education instruction for students ages 14.5 and older. Students who attend Shakopee Public Schools or live in the school district will receive priority status when registering. 

Please contact the District Office six weeks after receiving a permit and once you have completed 20 hours of Behind-the-Wheel with a parent/guardian. Once you have notified the District Office, an instructor will be in contact with you to set up Behind-the-Wheel driving sessions. Please note there is up to a 6 week wait time for Behind-the-Wheel. Please do not schedule your driver's test until you have had at least one Behind-the Wheel lesson with an instructor.

Registration is on a first come, first-served basis. The individual who is responsible for registering the student must include the student's full first, middle and last name on the registration form. There is a maximum of 40 and a minimum 15 students per class session.

To contact the District Office, please call: 952.496.5029

Point of Impact Classes

The more you know about teen risks, laws and helpful ways to talk with your teen, the more you can help your student become a safe driver. Parents and students are invited and encouraged to attend a 90-minute Point of Impact (POI) class to learn how to improve your own driving instruction and help your teen to become a good driver. We will provide information and tools you can use to help support your teen driving safely.

New drivers have to log 50 hours of driving while they have their permit. Find out how to do this and reduce the required amount by 10 hours by attending a Shakopee Community Education Point of Impact (POI) meeting. Parent/guardians are encouraged to provide as many additional hours with their teens as possible to prepare them to become a safe driver. The driving log must be presented at the time of the road test and submitted with the application for the provisional license.

Parents/guardians and teens are encouraged to attend this class together.
