[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC's bus was late yesterday, which caused DC being very late for the 1st period after passing the screening detector. So daddy decided to drive DC to school. T[b]hey got stuck in the traffic for quite a long time[/b]. Are more parents trying diving and dropping their high school kids today? But fortunately, DC arrive school earlier and got 12 minutes before the first period.[/quote]

If you don't normally drive your kid to school, you may just not know how congested it is around the high schools.

I’m driving DD to school. We were 12 minutes early yesterday, so left 10 minutes later today. Not sure she made it to class on time. I thought that Rocky was bad, but Chantilly is exponentially worse. And their dismissal protocol is every man for themselves. [/quote]

Rocky run kiss and ride in the morning was a well oiled machine last year. You need to lower your expectations. CHS has 3 times as many students.[/quote]

Never thought I would say this, but I think Westfield handles this better, by separating out bus traffic from car traffic. Chantilly can do the same thing. Buses go in/out through one of the entrances (bus only during start/dismissal times) and cars do it through the other. Currently, it's a giant mess starting well before the Poplar Tree intersection, because you have cars, buses, and pedestrians, all attempting to turn into more or less the same space.

And there is no kiss and ride type of deal at dismissal. You park, the kids cross into the parking lot to find you, and then you pretty much sit there until at least some of the buses have exited the lot. Since the administration is highly regarded, I expected better, frankly (an impression not helped much by the teaching. One of the teachers posted a video of her teaching, and it is DREADFUL; it's DD's favorite subject, but I suspect, not for long). [/quote]
