[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our district school (elementary) starts at 8:20 (doors open/bus arrives at 8:00) so I put dc on bus at 7:40 and get to work by 8:05. Dh is not involved at all in the morning routine; he starts work at 6. But then he is able to meet the bus. So I guess our answer is to stagger schedules. [/quote]

This would be my ideal schedule, [b]our ES doesn't start until 930,[/b] with 9am bus pickup.  So beforecare it is, we stagger schedules but meetings may start at 9 or 930 so doesn't work to not start the commute until then.[/quote]

That is crazy late. Is this some sort of Montessori with lots of rich SAHMs/"retired" dads?

Our kid's school starts at 8:30am. Drop him off at the drive-thru at 815am and he hangs out with other kids in the gym. Can drop off as early as 730am if you pay for before-care.

930am is just really weird. [/quote]

In FCPS, half the ES schools start at 8:30 and the other half start at 9:30, for bus reasons. This was a factor when we chose where to live, because 9:30 is untenable.

To your snarky comment, private schools in my area start at 8:00, or earlier for certain specials, because parent convenience carries more weight. [/quote]
