[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know our school says this too yet there are kids dropped of early every day (I wait with my child for a magnet bus at the ES).  If you have to do it, I would stay with her the first day and see if she will have company.  My guess is she will be waiting with a small group.  Is waiting at the school different than walking to school alone at the same time?[/quote]
Are you people crazy? Do you really and truly think that you are allowed to have your kids milling around the school grounds unsupervised BEFORE school doors are open.
The answer is no. That is why there is before care. Not being able to afford before care is one thing, that is perfectly understandable. But, isn't it common sense that school does not want the liability of kids wandering around on school grounds with no supervision.
Don't believe me, call the principal and see what she/he says. :shock: [/quote]

THis!
We've been getting the emails already warning us not to do this, yet people do it anyway.  It's unsafe and the school can't watch over your kids for free when the teachers are trying to get ready for the day.  Honestly I don't know how the school handles it exactly.  Do the staff walk right by these kids?  Do they bring the kids to one of the classrooms because it's unsafe to leave them outside unsupervised?
Your plan sucks OP.  We shell out for before care for this reason.  I have to be at work at 8am.  So either shell out for before care or see if you can drop your child with a neighborhood child who's also heading to that school.  It pisses me off that I pay for before care and some people try to skip out on doing the right thing.
