Up by 6:30-6:40 and out the door by 7:15/20. He rides to school with another boy who drives and they get there most mornings by 8 for an 8:30 start time.

+1 It’s only day 2 for my freshman, but up at 6:10, out the door at 6:45 and arrives on campus at 7:20ish. Leaving at 7 will make them late to class. They gets there and have time to socialize, get settled, and maybe do some homework once that gets rolling. We’re in Vienna and headed to Wisconsin Ave.

Up at 6, leave at 6:45. ~30 mins commute that gets much worse the later they leave and DDs like to hang out with their friends before the bell rings.

So bad to wake up so early - DCPS has a 9 am start for HS kids. All the research points to it. MCPS & privates also has it wrong. Such a shame and we wonder why there are so many mental health issues. This is part of issue.

School starts 820 I guess I should add. He can push waking up as late as 740 and will at certain times of year.
