[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote]

Omg!! You are type of poster that made me so nervous and anxious for my child to start middle school. Just stop it! It’s not that bad.

Op- my child is in eighth grade. We also came from an elementary school that started at 9:20. It’s not that bad. They adjust to it very quickly. I let my child sleep as late as possible. In elementary school I got him up like an hour plus before school so he could have some time to play or whatever before school. Now he sleeps until it’s almost time to leave. I wake him up and have breakfast ready downstairs. He gets dressed, comes down and eats, brushes teeth, combs hair, deodorant etc in the downstairs bathroom and his shoes and backpack are ready by the door. The morning routine takes 20 minutes or so.

For breakfast we do either cereal, jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, or waffles or pancakes. He eats healthy foods at lunch and dinner. For breakfast we just do something quick.[/quote]

We're in same boat, loved our 8:30ish bus time in elementary, hating our 6:30ish for MS. 
Honestly, my kids adjusted better than I did (not morm person). I let them sleep as late as possible, and prepare thier bfast & lunch as they get ready.
Hang in there, it's only for 2yrs - so I get/agree why FFX made this switch, otherwise it would have been a looong 4yrs!![/quote]

I’m the pp and I agree, middle school is 2 short years. I’m up at that time already anyways because I leave for work when my son leaves for school. I’ll enjoy sleeping a little later when he goes to high school next year, but it’s honestly not that bad as the other pp makes it seem. And if you act like it is, your kid will be miserable about it too.[/quote]
