[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did it by using before and after care.  We are also an elementary school that is 9:20 to 4:05, so I completely understand the late start.  DH and I are feds and we stopped doing any kind of alternate schedule in order to reduce our work day as much as possible.  The commute is long, unfortunately.  I would start work at 6:45am and DH was responsible for getting them to before care.  Then I'd be able to come home at a reasonable time and not have them in after care for too long.

I will say that when they were young, they loved SACC at our FCPS school and would ask to stay longer when I'd come to pick them up.  Then a combination of them getting older plus losing good staff made them hate SACC and not want to go.  I eventually started working from home almost full time so we pulled them.  But, while their particular SACC was good, it was a wonderful resource.

Now I have one at 9:20am and a middle schooler at 7:30am and once all FCPS kids are back in (ha!), the disparity in schedules will get worse. [b]The 5th grader will be 10:05 to 4:50pm[/b] and the 7th grader will be 7:15am to 2pm. Ugh.[/quote]

Your 5th grader won't start school until 10:05 am?!?!? That's insane. I'm so sorry.[/quote]
