[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not worth arguing with someone (let's just call her Gina) who resorts to name calling and doesn't even understand the point of this post. Never was the concern about getting our children to school on time - it is about the very confusing communication.  She sent lots of communication about the start time being 8:50/8:55 (which, by the way, isn't an option b/c APS sets the school start times - not her) - then another communication this week about how the start time is 9.  At no point was there any explanation about any of this.  It's strange.  It's confusing.  Period.

Now - if we really want to use our time wisely we can move on to the MANY ways she is incompetent as a leader.[/quote]

I didn't find the communication confusing at all. It seemed pretty straightforward to me. [b]She probably changed it at this point because some parent (probably on this thread) was butthurt about it and complained loudly. [/b]Also, I haven't seen these so called mean spirited emails the OP mentioned. The original email she sent out about start times wasn't mean spirited. It seemed pretty inoffensive to me, she was merely stating a fact that when so many parents drop their kids off late, that means kids butts are not in seats by 9 because there is a line waiting to get in.

Glebe also indicates an earlier start time. I'm sure this isn't the official start time per APS, just sharing another school's expectations

Taylor starts morning announcements at 8:55 as well. I think principals are just trying to make sure kids are in seats by 9, rather than parents rolling in to drop off their kid at 9. Same reason doctor offices always ask you to arrive 10 minutes early. And really, buckle up for middle school because it starts at 7:50, and the expectation was made very clear that is butts in seats at 7:50, not arrive at school.[/quote]
