Ha, you don't know how bad it can be. Last year our (Southborough, MA)
K-1 school started at 8:30 and our 2-5 started at 9:00. This year they
cut back on busses, which are used for K-12, and as a result, our
K-1 starts at 9:00 and our 2-5 starts at *9:30*. Talk about inconvenience,
both for parents and kids!

| 298.2 | Elementary late in Shrewsbury | ISTG::HOLMES | | Thu Aug 30 1990 14:40 | 10 |
| While I was in the Shrewsbury school system, the schedules were
7:45 - 2:00 => High School
8:30 - 2:30 => Junior High School
9:00 - 3:00 => Elementary School.
I'm sure this was due to bus scheduling. I suppose the schedules could
be flipped around to send the little kids first, but the high
schooler's probably need to get out early for sports and/or jobs.

| In Palmer Elementary starts at 8:40 and High School later (not sue
exact time) because some High School students could watch little ones.

| In Worcester the Elementary starts at different times, depending on the
area. They implemented this last year, I believe because of buses.

| 298.6 | Lexington start time - 8:40 | TPS::SCHLAM | Joseph Schlam | Thu Sep 06 1990 22:07 | 10 |
| Lexington elementary schools start at 8:40. I don't know the times for
the high school.
8:40 is occassionaly too late for me, and I find that driving my
daughter to school and leaving her there, either outside *with* friends
(the cafeteria is open in inclement - rain, snow, or very cold -
weather) works. There are always children there by 8:15, so I can
save a *few* minutes, and make those 9:00 meetings.

| The Nashua (NH) elementary school my son just started attending has kids
arriving at 8:30. Classes start at 8:48 and end at 3:13.

| Nashua elementary schools start at different times -- Steven
catches the bus at 7:55 and starts school at 8:10. He's home by
3:00.
My daughter, who's in high school, catches the bus at 6:50 . . .
which is no fun. She has to get up at 5:30 and we see her for
about two minutes in the morning before she dashes out the door.
The junior highs have yet another starting time.
This is done to reduce the number of busses they need. Each
individual bus serves three routes, one after the other.
