[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Our charter is 8:30-3:30, which is an hour longer than our IB which is 9-3. [/b]

Also, if you like the charter and value it for other characteristics, there is likely a childcare solution. Casa Lala, for example, caters to many charter schools with early release days. I believe Brillando does as well.

It's not my favorite from a work perspective, but my kids look forward to their early release day, and I think 2 hours a week for them to do an aftercare activitiy (yoga,dance,art) or come home and get some extra down time is also valuable to them.[/quote]

I think this might be your charter trying to stretch the truth.

Our IB's instructional hours are 9-3, but drop off starts at 8:15 and pick-up starts at 3:15 and you are not late for pick up as long as you get there before 3:30. Which I'm guess is similar to what your charter is doing, it's just they are fudging and making it sound like instructional hours are 8:30-3:30 when in reality they are probably 9-3 and the extra 30 minutes on each end is spent getting kids to the classroom or to the pick-up location or aftercare, as is the case at all elementary schools.[/quote]
