[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This issue has been discussed to death.  OP you are not the first person to raise this.  But the bigger issue is the high schools (research that adolescents aren't awake at 7:20, etc).  There are periodic quests to swap elementary and HS starting times but in the end both groups put up a fuss.  So if the pick up order stays the same there is no other option because the HS kids are already out at the crack of dawn (mine is at the bus stop at 6:40, which is still dark in the winter).

What time does your bus come?  Our ES bus comes at around 8:25, which still leaves time to get to work if you don't live too far away.[/quote]

To answer you question I'm not exactly sure when the bus get to the stop because the route report generated simply states "First stop" and "Arrival at school"[/quote]

So how far are you from the first stop?  We are the 3rd stop of 6 on our route and it takes about 5 minutes from the start of the route to get to our stop.  Not too hard to figure out.  Perhaps you can ask your neighbors with elementary age kids when the bus arrives (they typically don't change that much from year to year).  Or perhaps you've noticed the kids waiting for the bus in the past? [/quote]
