[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LCPS parents - what is the HS day? 9:30-??? How does this impact after school activities?[/quote]

The activities go really, really late. The day ends around 4:20pm and you will typically see some kids walking home from the bus stop around 4:45ish in my neighborhood, maybe a little later, but we live very near the local high school. The activities/sports/rehearsals/dance classes/etc. just start late and go late. Kids come home from their various things later, stay up later, then sleep later the following morning. I guess if your kid is a morning person, they might opt to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier to get work done before school, which is certainly possible since the school day doesn't start until 9:30am. In our neighborhood, the bus comes around 8:50am or so.

Personally, I think if your kids do a lot of activities, the overall amount of sleep they get is the same with the Loudoun vs. Fairfax schedule. There are only so many hours to get everything done. [/quote]
