[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If leaving at 6:30, I'd have her eat on the way. But honestly, I'd look for a different school that starts later. It's elementary school kids who should be getting up at 6:30. Tweens and teens need their morning sleep.[/quote] Unfortunately all of Fairfax County middle schools start at this time, other counties too, I imagine. My oldest is starting middle next year and doesn't even wake up for elementary until 8am - Our whole house is dreading the change![/quote] We are experiencing this right now, having gone from 920 ES start to 720 MS start. My child is on the bus by 645, waking around 610. It is so incredibly, awfully, and horribly hateful. I cannot even describe it. Every parent/kid I know are zombies and hate the start time. So, I'm sorry to say there is no way to ease your feelings on this. Get as much stuff laid out, packed, and ready the night before. Then you can push the wake time as late as you are comfortable. For breakfast, it's largely cereal or nutella/toast, with a vitamin. We are ending the second quarter and i told DC we are 1/4 the way through with middle school. I curse Fairfax ever.single.morning.
