[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It concerns me that they sent an advance email before posting the schedule....like a warning for us to brace ourselves for big changes.  [/quote]

The changes for elementaries, announced this week, range from five minutes' to fifteen minutes' difference from this year's start or ending times, as far as I can see. Not sure if you consider those big changes. I don't.

The process for changing these times was open to the public, and FCPS notified parents on its web site, by e-mails, on school web sites, etc. of public meetings about start time changes.  Those meetings gave information about how much start times would change in ES, MS and HS under each potential option. Though the meetings did not list specific schools (nothing like "Sally Jones Elementary will begin at 8:10 a.m."), they did mention a range of times -- such as, under option one, ES start times would be five to 10 minutes earlier, or under another option, start times would be the same, etc. The options were on their web site for a long time for parents to see, though you could not have looked up your one specific school until this week. But a change in the range of five to 15 minutes should not come as a surprise to anyone.
