Laketown Driving School

Yes! Students can take their classroom course through their school, community ed, or any other company that offers the classroom portion. Example: Students at Waconia High School can take their classroom course as a class at Waconia and after, can sign up for Behind-the-Wheel lessons with Laketown Driving School. You will need to request a Letter of Verification (sometimes called a transfer paper or letter of completion). This is a document you can request from the school/company that provided the classroom portion to your student. The document verifies that your student has completed 30 hours of classroom, and I am required by the state to have a copy on file prior to providing behind-the-wheel lessons. You can email a copy of this form directly to me at laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com

Once you have submitted the contract, verification letter, and have indicated payment method (full payment or payment plan) you can email or text/call Corey at laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com or 612-270-9565 to request a blue card. If a payment plan is chosen, the first payment must be made in order to receive the card. One will be mailed to your home address listed on the contract.

A Laketown Driving School insturctor will typically meet at the student's home or school address. You can add your preferred location when you book the lesson. Please call or text 612-270-9565 if you need to change the location after booking or have a question about a different pick-up location.

We know that life happens! There is no late-fee charge if you contact Laketown Driving School (612-270-9565 or laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com) to let us know you need to cancel or reschedule. The instructor will wait for 15 minutes before considering the student a no-show. There will be a $20 no-show fee to pay prior to rescheduling - this helps to cover the cost of gas and the instructor's time.
