Parents & families
You book and manage lessons for a teen student.
How do I book a lesson?
- Tap “Book a lesson” (top right on every page).
- Choose the package, then where we pick up and drop off.
- Tap a day, then a start time.
- Sign in or create your account when asked, and choose the student.
- Review and pay online, or choose “Pay in person”.
Tip: Your choices are saved on this device, so a sign-in or a detour never loses them.
Book a lessonHow do I create an account?
- Tap “Sign in” and continue with Google or your email.
- Choose “I’m a parent or guardian”.
- Add your mobile, then the student: name, date of birth, home address, school and an emergency contact.
- If you have the permit, copy its details as printed. Otherwise choose “Not yet”.
- Accept the Customer Agreement and finish. About two minutes.
How do I add or fix my student’s details?
- Open “Students & documents” in your menu.
- Tap the student, then edit the details exactly as printed on the permit.
- Tap Save. “Ready to book” appears when everything is in.
Tip: Every booking, online or in person, needs the complete record: permit number and dates, height, weight, eyes, hair, lenses, school and an emergency contact.
Students & documentsHow do I upload the permit or another document?
- Open “Students & documents”, then the student.
- Under Documents, choose the document type and pick the photo or PDF (on a phone this can open the camera).
- Tap Upload. It shows “In review” until the office checks it.
Tip: A clear photo of the front of the permit, all four corners visible. Photos are private: only the office and your instructor see them.
Students & documentsHow do I pay? Online or cash?
- You choose when you book: Online (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, paid now) or In person (cash, check, card or tap, paid to your instructor at the lesson, before driving).
- In person pays the lower cash price with cash or check; card or tap at the lesson is the card price.
- The 6-hour training can be paid as the whole package (best price) or lesson by lesson.
Tip: Some pay-in-person bookings are a request: we hold the time and confirm before the lesson. You see the status on Home.
Packages & pricingI chose to pay at the lesson. Can I pay online instead?
- Yes, any time before or at the lesson: open “Payments & receipts” and tap “Pay online now”.
- At the lesson your instructor can also show a QR code: scan it with your phone camera and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- The lesson then shows as paid for your instructor and you get the receipt by email.
Tip: Paid online already and want to pay cash instead? Call us: we refund the online payment. You are never charged twice.
Payments & receiptsIt says “Payment owed”. What is that?
- A lesson happened and wasn’t paid yet (for example the card didn’t work that day).
- Tap “Pay online now” next to it, or pay your instructor at the next lesson.
- It disappears as soon as it’s paid.
How do I reschedule or cancel?
- Open “Lessons” in your menu and pick the lesson.
- Choose Reschedule, Change pickup / drop-off, or Cancel.
- For a new time, tap one of the open times and confirm.
Tip: Changes are free up to 48 hours before the lesson. Inside 24 hours the lesson is used; for an emergency, send an exception request.
LessonsHow do pickup and drop-off work?
- When booking, type the home, school or work address. The town sets itself.
- Drop-off is the same place unless you choose “Different drop-off”.
- In Oroville and Gridley–Biggs, lessons start at a set meeting point you choose while booking.
How does my teen get their own login?
- Open “Students & documents” and tap “Invite to log in” on the student.
- Share the 6-character code with your teen.
- Your teen taps Sign in on this website, chooses “I’m a teen student” and enters the code.
Tip: Your teen sees lessons and notes and can ask for changes; you approve them.
How do I log the 50 practice hours?
- On your Home page, find “Practice at home”.
- Pick the date and length, tick “At night” after sunset, and tap “Log this drive”.
- The bars count toward 50 hours and 10 night hours.
No open times that suit us. What now?
- On the time step, tap “None of these times work? Join the waitlist” under the open times, then choose the day and part of the day.
- When a time opens that day, we hold it for you and text you. Book it from the link before the hold ends.
- Your waitlist days are on Home: tap Leave if you no longer need one.
Where are receipts, credits and the certificate?
- Every payment, online or at the lesson, has a receipt under “Payments & receipts”. Tap “View / print” to open it, print it or save it as a PDF, or “Email me a copy”.
- Receipts also arrive by email right after you pay.
- Lesson credits (after a cancellation in time) are listed there with their checkout code.
- The training record appears on Home once all 6 hours are done and the office issues it.
How do cancellations and refunds work?
- Cancel in time (see the lesson): the lesson goes back to your account as a credit (or to your package).
- Late or no-show: the lesson counts as used; you can ask to restore it for a fee.
- If we cancel, or you were charged by mistake, we refund to the card you paid with and you get an email.
Can the other parent see and book lessons too?
- Open “Students & documents”, tap the student, then “+ Add another parent or guardian”.
- Enter their name and email. They get an email to set a password.
- You both see, book, move and pay for the same student: one record, so hours and packages stay together.
Tip: You can remove them there any time, and they can leave.

BookingsHow do I add a lesson by hand, or one that already happened?
- Open the student’s profile and tap “Add a lesson directly”.
- Pick the day, start time, instructor, package and town. Choose “Collect at the lesson” or “Already paid”.
- A future lesson texts the family. A lesson happening now shows on the instructor’s Today (On my way, payment, no-show). A past lesson is recorded quietly: evaluate it to log the 2 hours.
- Not an open time? You are asked “Add it anyway?” first.
A lesson says “No customer” or “No student linked”. What do I do?
- It was made in the Wix app without picking a customer, so nobody can be told, paid or evaluated.
- Open the lesson (Bookings → Edit). Choose the student and tap “Give to this student”: the same time is booked for them and the empty one is cancelled.
- Not a real lesson? Use “Cancel this lesson” at the bottom.

How do I add hours a student drove before?
- Open the student’s profile and tap “Hours done before”.

- Wrong number? Enter the same hours with a minus sign.
How do I undo a no-show recorded by mistake?
- Open the lesson (Bookings → Edit). The red box says what was recorded.
- Tap Undo and write why. The lesson counts as not used and the family gets a short correction.
- Both entries stay in the lesson history.
How does the waitlist work?
- Families join from booking when the day they want is full (morning, afternoon, evening or any time).
- When a lesson that day is cancelled, the first family in line gets it held for 60 minutes with a text and email. If they don’t book, the next family gets it.
- Open Waitlist to see who is waiting, offer any open time by hand, message them, or remove them (Restore brings them back).

- The family gets a branded receipt by email.
- Recorded the wrong one? On the student profile, tap Void next to the payment and say why. It stays on file, marked void, and no longer counts in totals.
Tip: A package can’t be voided once one of its lessons has happened.
What do the money to-dos mean (refund, deposit, owed)?
- “Refund made in Wix”: a refund was done in Wix; check the family’s credits or package and close it.
