All workplaces here basically start at 8. </p> <p>Elementary is at 8:30 but you can drop off at 7:45.

They should start the elementary school kids the earliest since they tend to be awake earlier, while high school kids tend to be the ones who want to sleep in! When I was young, it was 9am for 1st-5th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647324 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:46:49 +0000 Anagram 2647324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's 8:15-3:00 pm every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647317 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:37:45 +0000 tlynne 2647317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:05!! Yikes!!! Our district only has one fleet of buses, so they pick up elementary, then high school, then middle. High school starts at 7:35, and middle school starts at 8:15. Elementary gets out at 2:10, high school at 3:35, middle school at 4:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647307 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:30:12 +0000 KT326 2647307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our elementary school will start at 8:05am and get out at 2:10pm for K-3rd and 2:15pm for 4th-5th. Then every Wednesday they are out an hour early at 1:10/1:15pm. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we can get into their after school program. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647296 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:22:32 +0000 milano14 2647296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our district starts late, 9:05.

As a result we only need after care. It would suck to need both before and after care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647268 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:52:00 +0000 skinnycow 2647268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the elementary schools in our district start at 7:45.

I don't think they really care about working parents. At least, not in my town. They have some sort of early dismissal or non school day every single month of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647260 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:48:01 +0000 winniebee 2647260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KayKay: that's true but it would be nice to only have to do before OR after care! I have a flexible schedule so fortunately we can swing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647258 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:44:38 +0000 Pancakes 2647258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doors open at 9:05 and school starts at 9:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647208 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:02:31 +0000 catlady 2647208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually have multiple times, I think so that the city doesn't need as many buses. The times are 7:45, 7:55, 8:25, and 8:55. There are 12 elementary schools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647168 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:16:53 +0000 Maysprout 2647168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drop off starts at 720, class starts 740. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647167 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:15:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2647167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive by ours on my way to work and parents are usually dropping off between 8:20 to like 8:30 ish so I'm assuming school starts before 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647162 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:08:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2647162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary School 8:35<br /> Middle school 7:30<br /> High School 7:25 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647161 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:04:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2647161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are 7:45 - 2:45. Probably good for parents who work outside of the home but I wish it was a tad later. I have to get DS up at 6:30 and he could really use a little extra sleep, even though we get him to bed at 8 at the latest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647158 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:02:25 +0000 KayKay 2647158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours starts at 915 and gets out around 4. I think it's great -- the other option is a 730ish start that gets out around 2. That'd be WAY too early for my kids to be on-time and functional (and a pain for me to get them there...).</p> <p>At first I thought the late start was weird and super inconvenient for working parents, but honestly no school day/time lines up exactly with working hours anymore, so most kids have to do either beforecare, aftercare, or both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647157 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:02:24 +0000 T-Mom 2647157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doors open at 7:45 and school starts at 8:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-elementary-school-start#post-2647124 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 08:32:02 +0000 mediagirl 2647124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: omg.

I see the kids walking to school around 7:30am. :) They are done then at 2:15pm. </p>
