Scheduling Lessons
Once student have completed the required classroom portion of Driver Education and Have done a Parent Class , you may begin scheduling your behind-the-wheel driving lessons with Sharon Driving School on A Student Portal.
Lessons are scheduled based on availability and on a first-come, first-served basis. We strongly recommend that students begin scheduling their driving lessons promptly and continue booking consistently throughout the program.
Please understand that having held a learner’s permit for an extended period of time does not give a student priority over other students who are already scheduling lessons.
Students are responsible for planning ahead and allowing sufficient time to complete all required driving and observation hours. A delay in beginning or scheduling lessons does not create an obligation for Sharon Driving School to provide additional or priority availability.
Our Driver Education program is sold as a discounted package. Individual components of the program (classroom, driving lessons, and observation) are not priced equally within the package.
If the full program is not completed, the discounted package pricing is voided. All completed services will be recalculated using our standard individual (à la carte) rates, and any remaining balance will be refunded accordingly.
The RMV requires you to complete a Driver Education Program within a two year period. If you fail to complete the entire program within this time, to receive a driver education certificate, you will be required to re-take the full course. *Additional fees will apply.
What is observation?
Observation is when a student sits in the back seat of the car during a driving lesson and observes another student driving it needs to be done together with driving lessons the same day. Student can take up to 2 hrs per day
Where is pick-up and drop-off available?
Pick-up and drop-off is an optional courtesy service provided by Sharon Driving School. It is not a guaranteed part of the Driver Education Program and is subject to instructor availability, scheduling, location, traffic conditions, and the discretion of Sharon Driving School.
Sharon Driving School reserves the right to limit, modify, or suspend pick-up and drop-off service at any time when a location or arrangement is not practical or convenient for the instructor’s scheduled route.
Students may be required to report directly to Sharon Driving School or another designated location for their driving lesson.
Please understand that Sharon Driving School is a driver education provider, not a transportation service. Our primary responsibility is to provide safe, professional behind-the-wheel instruction. Pick-up and drop-off is offered only as a convenience when scheduling permits.
The availability of pick-up service for previous lessons does not guarantee that pick-up will be available for future lessons.
All pick-up arrangements must be made in advance. Last-minute changes may not be accommodated.
Refusal or suspension of pick-up and drop-off service does not constitute a refusal to provide driving instruction. Students may continue their scheduled lessons by reporting to the designated lesson location.

Practice at Home

Online Scheduling & Driving Lesson Policies
Please review the following policies carefully before scheduling a driving lesson. These policies help Sharon Driving School provide fair and consistent scheduling for all students.
Payment Requirements
All balances must be paid in full before the first driving lesson and before online scheduling privileges are activated.
This applies to:
Students with an outstanding balance may not schedule driving lessons.
Scheduling Driving Lessons
Driving lessons are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to instructor availability.
Students should plan ahead and schedule their lessons throughout the program rather than waiting until shortly before their road test.
We recommend approximately 2–3 lessons per week, depending on availability and the student's progress.
Students are responsible for scheduling and completing their required driving and observation hours on time.
Waiting several months to begin lessons, taking long breaks between lessons, or waiting until a road test is approaching does not give the student scheduling priority.
Sharon Driving School cannot guarantee additional or expedited appointments because a student waited to schedule their required hours.
Driver Education Students
Students under age 18 must complete all applicable Massachusetts Driver Education requirements before certification.
The required parent/guardian class must be completed within the required timeframe. If the parent class has not been completed, driving lessons may be suspended until the requirement is satisfied.
Permit & Required Documents
Students must bring their original, valid learner's permit to every driving lesson.
Students must also bring any required driving-school documentation or time card.
A student who arrives without the required permit may not be permitted to drive and the appointment may be treated as a missed lesson.
Driving & Observation Hours
A scheduled appointment may include driving time, observation time, or a combination of both, depending on the student's required hours and the school's schedule.
Sharon Driving School determines whether a student will be driving or observing during a particular portion of the appointment.
Observation hours are part of the Driver Education program and must be completed when applicable.
Students should allow approximately two hours when scheduled for a combined driving/observation appointment.
Once a student's required observation hours are completed, appointments may consist of driving time only.
