[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given that it's August, just pull her 15 minutes early this year and then start looking for another school for next year that is either closer to her practice location so that release time is not an issue or a school that will work with you on scheduling as she gets older.  A number of years ago, Maret worked with an athlete I knew to allow him early release in high school.  It's a little easier when student schedules are a little more individualized and you can put things like PE and study hall at the end a student's day.  Harder in elementary when everyone in the class follows the same schedule.[/quote]

Thank you, this is practical and useful. [b]It’s frustrating to know that she has teammates at 20+ schools, many of whom are in similar situations, and hers is apparently the only one pushing back[/b]. We originally applied to this school because it was known for celebrating its students extracurricular accomplishments and well-roundedness, but the tone of the admin has shifted post-Covid. I think that the work to manage behavioral and emotional issues in the student body has been more/longer than they ever anticipated and so they are enforcing more rigid boundaries in other areas to accommodate that. Bad luck for us. [/quote]

Why not look at these 20+ schools?[/quote]
