[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is well known that younger children wake earlier, teens tend to sleep later. Elementary kids should be the first to start school. Many districts outside of DC metro area do this.  Our transition to Middle school is ridiculous. Our ES starts at 9:20. Our MS starts at 7:20. TWO hours ahead. That’s is a very hard adjustment. We’ve already done it once, not looking forward to it again.[/quote]

Not saying I agree with what about to write and sharing just as informative of what FCPS has stated in a lot of its write ups on school times and that is they say received overwhelming input from FCPS parents that MS and HS need to be home first so they could take care of ES kids— so ES couldn’t start first as FCPS saying parents told them MS/HS students are critical to child care of ES.[/quote]

But FCPS did not solicit input from elementary parents.

Every bit of correspondence on start times only talked about middle school.

Not once did FCPS indicate that they were changing elementary or high school schedules.[/quote]
