How does COVID-19 effect Trinity Driving School?

By now, you've likely learned of the dangerous nature of COVID-19, in an abundance of caution and in the best interest and the safety of our employees and students, we are temporarily altering numerous operations at all locations of Trinity Driving School. As of today March 16, 2020 we will be cancelling all scheduled drives, classes, and third-party testing with hopes of rescheduling.  We will not be making ANY changes in scheduling until at least April 1, 2020.  If you have any questions email us at info@trinitydriversed.com. We are very sorry for the inconvience as this is an unprecedented occurence.  Thank you for being loyal customers of Trinity Driving School. 

Classroom

What is the Mandatory Parents Meeting?

CANCELED

Due to the Governor's mandate we are NOT allowed to have class unil after the 13th of April. So at this time I do not know when this class will be rescheduled.

Here are a two options I can give you right now:

1. Wait and see if the stuudents go back to school? If they don't we can have a weekday class which would be Monday thru Thursday. 

2. Email us to move your student to a summer class. 

 The parents meeting is NOT happening this weekend. I will update that meeting date via email and website.

Please stay healthly and safe. Trinity will be here ready to get your student on the road to the license when this is over.

 

God Bless
