The 2022 Virginia General Assembly Passed Legislation That Went into Effect July 1, 2022, Adding a New Parent Component to Classroom Driver Education. According to the Virginia Department of Education, Senate Bill 78 Requires All Approved Public, Private, and Commercial Driver Training Schools to Add a 90-Minute Parent/Student Component to the Classroom Driver Education Curriculum.

During the presentation, parents/guardians and students learn about the risk factors of teen driving, Virginia's graduated licensing procedures, current driving techniques, procedures for helping teach their children to drive, curfew restrictions, and more. The program also encourages the use of a driving contract between parents and students to help keep students safe as they gain more driving experience.

The student driver must attend ONE of the sessions with a parent or guardian in order to obtain a driver's license. If you can not make one at Lightridge, please check other LCPS high school sites for their PSTD evening programs. 

Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes before the presentation. No one will be permitted to enter the auditorium past 7:00 pm as we will start promptly at that time. Please bring your school-issued Chromebook.
