[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have any kids yet, but live on the same street as an ES. I noticed the car line this morning and was surprised how late it was, so [b]I checked the FCPS site and see that most ES in the county start at 9:45[/b]. How on earth do working parents make that schedule work?[/quote]

You are exaggerating. My kids' ES bell schedules start at 8:40 AM and 9:15 AM. They get out at 3:25 PM and 4 PM.

If MOST ES start at 9:45, they get out at 4:30 PM, and the bus riding kids don't get home until 5:30-6 PM. Not happening for elementary kids.

I'm really not exaggerating, this is what I was looking at: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/BellSchedule2021.pdf
Granted it appears to be a couple years old.[/quote]

No, those were special covid bell schedules, when schools only had 50% (or more or less) students in the building on special schedules.  Our ES actually started at 10am - virtually.  (At least I think, my memories of that time are fuzzy, it was all so weird and terrible.)

The bell schedules have never been like that, before the pandemic or after/now.[/quote]

+1, this was an off year. The 2019 times are the current times.[/quote]
