Schools?
Hi community!
As school has started, I’ve not seen many post regarding the topic.
How are the parents in this community doing? How do you do it all?
This year I have started my kids (5&6) at different schools (not by choice). It’s been interesting to see another campus. See what another school in our district is like.
The school where my 6 yo goes has campus open 7:45-8:10. The school where my 5yo goes has confused us on their schedule. Before school started it was 8:10-8:25 when campus would be open. Every drop off last week, I guess the gates were opened at 8??? We checked our emails and no change was notified to us. My child kept saying I dropped him off late, which was 8:10 since I took my other child to school first. I admit, I did feel late since everyone was already on campus meeting teachers on the playground, getting to know new parents- they informed me the gates open at 8.
Does anyone else have any issues with receiving information from their schools? Has anyone ever had a school schedule change within the week of school starting?
Honestly, the 8:10 time worked best for us as my 6yo being dropped off at 7:45 just felt too early to us. We were able to drop off at 8 and then drop off our little at the new school at 8:10. Also with wanting to give them breakfast in the morning, we went from having to be ready by 7:45 to now be ready by 7:30 which just leads to the kids needing to be up at 6 which has changed how I saw my mornings planned out.
I know now there is a school in the community that opens their campus at 9 am. Why doesn’t every school start at 9 am if it’s possible? Or why doesn’t that school start before 9, if other schools do?
I guess I didn’t realize just how different each school really is.
How is it all going for all of you?? Would love to hear about your school experiences as I’m only 1y in, starting my second, with many more to come.
