We take the safety of our students and instructors very seriously. For behind-the-wheel lessons, when conditions are poor or expected to be poor (such as snow, extreme cold, or other severe weather conditions), we are more likely to cancel scheduled driving lessons. We do not want to put students or our instructors in harm's way. We will send notifications as early as possible, although it is unlikely to be more than 24 hours in advance. You can expect the instructor to be in touch as soon as a determination is made. 

For in-person classes, if conditions are too dangerous for driving, in-person classes will be canceled. Please contact your instructor about getting the link for the online class if it is being held.
