Dear Roosevelt Families,

Beginning Spring Session 2024, Roosevelt Drivers Ed registration will move to a lottery system with the

hope of creating a more equitable distribution of the 30 spots in our Drivers Ed classes.

Parents/guardians/students will have one week to join the waiting list (which will require completed

registration and payment information). Once the registration window closes, 30 students will be

selected at random and moved into the class. Selected students and parent/guardians will be notified

via email and payments will be processed at that time. Students who are not selected will remain on the waiting list and contacted only if a spot becomes available.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION:

The Spring 2024 Session of Drivers Ed at Roosevelt:

Class will meet May 6th - 17th from 3:30-6:30pm (Monday-Friday afternoons for two weeks) at Roosevelt High School.

The class will appear “full” but it’s not... we are requiring everyone to join the

waiting list first (which will require completed registration and payment information) and we will select

30 students at random once the registration window has closed. Students and parent/guardians will be

notified via email if they have been selected the week of March 11th, the remaining students will stay on the waiting list and will be notified only if a spot becomes available.

Drop-In Registration Assistance: If you need help completing your online registration, you may drop by

our office during the following days and times, and we can help get you signed up:

Roosevelt Community Ed Office: Room 155

Monday, March 4th: 3:30-5pm

Wednesday, March 6th: 3:30-5pm

Friday, March 8th: 11:15am-1:15pm

GENERAL INFORMATION:

If you have ever tried to sign up for Drivers Ed, you likely know it’s not easy to get in. We only have 30

spots in each class and hundreds of Roosevelt students who want to take it. Unfortunately, there is not

enough time in our school schedule to offer more than one class each session and many Roosevelt

students end up taking Drivers Ed through private driving schools or at other MPS locations during the

summer through Minneapolis Community Ed. These options require students to find their own

transportation, which of course isn’t as convenient as taking the class right here after school. We work

hard to communicate the Drivers Ed registration process and dates to families and have tried various

systems over the years to make this process as fair as possible, despite the inevitable supply/demand issues. Please check out our Drivers Ed website where you can access this information along with very

detailed information about the process to obtain a MN Class D Instruction Driving Permit.

In addition to hosting the Student Driver’s Education Classroom Training that meets three times each

school year: fall, winter, and spring sessions, the Roosevelt Community Education office coordinates

Adult Enrichment and 55+ Programs, which offer 300+ classes that serve over 3,600 participants’ annually. Check out our Winter 2024 classes here: http://guide.mpls.k12.mn.us/2024-winter-

We look forward to seeing many of you in Drivers Ed! Please feel free to reach out if you have any

questions!
