Cloquet Community Education

Cloquet Community Education offers Drivers Education to Cloquet (including CAAEP) and Fond du Lac students only. We do verify enrollment. If you are open enrolled in our district, you must call the Community Education office to enroll in the class at 879-1261. Get ready to hit the road with our exciting and engaging Driver's Education program! This comprehensive course offers 30 hours of interactive classroom instruction, where you'll learn all the essentials of safe driving, plus six hours of hands-on behind-the-wheel training to build your confidence and skills on the road. Class participation is key—attendance is mandatory, as completing the full 30 hours of classroom instruction is required before you can take the permit test. Once you've successfully finished the classroom portion, you'll be paired with a professional Behind the Wheel instructor, and you'll receive your blue E-card, giving you the green light to take your permit test and start your driving journey! Join us and start your road to independence with the skills and knowledge you'll need to drive safely and confidently. Classroom instructor: Dave Esse Behind-the-Wheel instructors (assigned by coordinator): Tim Stark, Dave Esse, David Wangen When registering please use the student’s full legal name (including middle name) and student's date of birth. If you choose to make payments on the class fee, the second payment will be due May 1 for the April class. Registering a credit card on your account will allow you to automatically make the payment when it is due. __________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025 school year schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:30-9:30 pm in the Cloquet Middle School Cafeteria April class: April 14 - May 14: student must be 15 by August 31, 2025

For parents of teens that participated in Drivers Education in 2024 - 25 (all classes). Meeting is free, but you must register to attend. Please call 879-1261 for questions. The more you understand teen driving risks, laws, and effective communication strategies, the better equipped you’ll be to guide your teen toward becoming a confident, safe driver. Join us for a 90-minute class designed for both parents and teens. In this session, you’ll discover proven techniques to improve your driving instruction and help your teen develop responsible habits on the road. You’ll also learn about essential updates to the rules for first-time drivers, including the requirement for new drivers to log 50 hours of driving with their permit. Find out how attending a Cloquet Community Education Point of Impact (POI) meeting can help reduce that requirement by 10 hours! Parents and guardians are encouraged to log as many additional hours as possible, providing valuable practice to ensure their teen is fully prepared for a safe driving experience. Remember, the driving log must be submitted with the provisional license during the road test. We look forward to working with you to give your teen the best training and preparation for a safe future behind the wheel. We strongly encourage teens to attend with their parents or guardians.
