St. Michael-Albertville Community Education Driver Education program is NOT affiliated with any other driving school in the area. 

Do not schedule Behind the Wheel with Connie Peters if your student was not enrolled/completed Driver Education through St. Michael-Albertville Community Education!!

Only students who completed Driver Education through the St. Michael-Albertville Community Education are allowed to schedule Behind the Wheel lessons with our instructors.

Immediately after your student has obtained their Permit, contact Connie Peters by email to let her know your student passed their Permit Test. Students will then be put on her list for Behind the Wheel instruction.

Students begin driving with parents/guardians and logging hours as soon as they have their Permit.
Log Behind the Wheel hours using either the Supervised Driving Log that was provided during the Driver Education class or use the Road Ready App.

  • The Behind the Wheel log must be turned into DVS when taking the Road Test. Make sure to print the log if using the Road Ready App. 
  • Remember, it can take up to a year (or more) for students to log the required number of Behind the Wheel hours.

  2. Misses the lesson altogether
  3. Doesn't have a valid Permit or just doesn't have their Permit with them when they arrive for their lesson
  4. Lesson is cancelled less than 48 hours in advance
