[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]quick question - how would the a later MS time impact those 8th graders that may make a high school JV sports team?

I'm in favor of a later time for my middle schooler but he is also very active after school in activities (at school) and outside school.  He loves it and he NEEDS all the physical activity he can get.

If middle school got out later, they would not be able to participate in most high school sports. Practices would start before middle school ends. And little to no middle school sports would be an option. [/quote]

How many MS kids participate in HS sports? This is a thing?

Also, it’s not any different than kids at HB who go to their “home” HS for sports. They do it, so can the 5 MS kids who play HS sports.[/quote]
Good point. HB ends latest and they’ve found a way to make it work[/quote]

For HS. Kids at HB cannot participate in MS sports. [/quote]

But that's because they don't have MS sports at HB to begin with.  HS students go back to their neighborhood HS for sports (except Ultimate).  Do MS go back to their home MS for sports now?

No. HB MS kids cannot participate in MS sports at any school. By the time they get out of school, all the MS practices/games/meets are over or nearly over. [/quote]

You're missing the point. This isn't about HB middle schoolers going to their home middle schools to play sports. That's not a thing.
Middle schoolers at HB don't participate in middle school sports because HB doesn't have middle school sports - except frisbee.  Other middle schools' 8th graders have an opportunity to play on their respective neighborhood high school's sport team if their middle school does not have that sport.  That doesn't change anything about HB middle school students.  If HB high schoolers can go back to their neighborhood high school to play sports, then HB 8th graders could go to their neighborhood high school to play on the sports teams just like 8th graders at all other middle schools.[/quote]
