[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's school does this, too. Not sure why.[/quote] Bc dismissal is a very hectic time with a ton of moving parts. Go volunteer in a school and you’ll see. [/quote] I do volunteer. But 35 minutes before the final bell is not “dismissal time” in middle school. They are still in their last period block schedule class until the final bell rings. It isn’t like elementary school where kids need to collect their papers and book bags and line up by bus color. We are requiring kids to miss almost half of their 6th/7th period class by requiring them to leave 35 minutes early when they might only need to miss the last 15 minutes to make it to a 3pm appointment.[/quote] Dismissal is 2:35 so it was only 20 minutes before the bell rang.[/quote]
