Minimum Days being "Late Start Mondays" for the elementary school kids instead of having them as "Early Out Minimum Days"??? 

My kids have a very interesting schedule in HS, they love it, its an extra hour of sleep! 

Sucks for those of us that work. It was easier to take off in the afternoons than start late, especially on Mondays.

Most definately! But for me my oldest drives. Otherwise not sure how I would do it.

I concur. That pretty much just knocked me out of being able to sub on Mondays.

I wonder whose brainiac idea this was?

If it was high school it wouldn't matter since they can take care of themselves. Not so much with the little ones. 

And...I must have missed something. How did we go to having one minimum day a month to TWO??? smh 

So how late will they be starting? 

Is this just for a particular school? My daughter has a minimum day next week she gets out at 12:20.

I know for sure Oasis. Not sure about the others. It would show up on the District site though. 

So how late will they be starting?

10:40am

Or not. I just looked. Not all of the school sites have their calendars done yet. Looks like JT El has the same thing though. 

29 El does not seem to be part of this.

After this month how many minimum days a month do they have - 1 or 2? 

10:40am

Wow!!! Thats late! My kids usually start school at 7:20, Monday's are "late start" which is 8:20. Thats doable, but dang 10:20, totally sucks! 

We have first 2 tuesdays of each month is early day. Its stupid! They then get out early from "Save the Children", which I cant do b/c im at work, so my daughter can not go to her after school program because they will not let her walk home. Then I was told if she misses those tues, she may get kicked out of the program because her abscense costs them some of their funding. I wouldnt mind the 10:20, only because my daughter is capable of making it to school ontime alone. 

29 palms Elementary.

I remember finding out about this info last year when I checked into the program. I didn't need it for every day but that wouldn't fly. You are either all in or not. :(
