Hello!
Ive been thinking it would be handy to have a cheat sheet for all the schools we go to with all the drop off times and pickup times. As you are all aware the time we can drop kids off and the times schools start is different. Same with pickups sometimes we pickup 5-10 minutes after school is out ect. If anyone knows any of this info respond below and i can make up something.
Hey Mike! Great question! I can see how this would be important to know so when scheduling, we can make sure kids don’t arrive too early (for example, Alexandria schools require you register for compass if your child will be there super early) and also not arrive too late because the final bell typically indicates when a student is supposed to be in their classroom ready to learn, not just arriving to school. I can see why you’d post this here because who would know better than the drivers who are out there, but I was able to, in the meantime, confirm with the Alexandria elementary schools the earliest times a student can be dropped off without needing to be registered in Compass. The schools actually prefer students arrive well before the final bell, so they have the time to get themselves settled and like I said earlier, ready to be seated when that final bell rings. The times are listed below:
• Garfield – 7:25 (final bell rings at 7:55)
• Miltona – 8:00 (final bell rings at 8:30)
• Carlos – 7:25 (final bell rings at 7:55)
• Lincoln – 7:45 (final bell rings at 8:15)
• Voyager – 7:20 (final bell rings at 7:50)
• Woodland – 7:20 (final bell rings at 7:50)
Mike, thanks for setting up a forum where people can pitch in their knowledge and help each other!
