The district approved the early-start schedule for Sunset Hill. We got exactly what we wanted for our families. Keeping a close eye on the calendar for the official transition.

The district is still ignoring our requests for a meetings but we are not going anywhere. I am currently drafting a formal proposal to present at the next board session.

This late start has actually hurt me as a single mom. I've been looking forward to the early start next year so I can go back to my original work schedule, meaning I will have a more stable income! Don't allow the late start to go through...please!
Let's stop calling this an early start, It's the normal start time. The only reason we start late is because of transporting the students across town. Next year we wont have to do this anymore so there's no need for a late start. Early release every Wednesday is enough of a hardship on working parents as it is.
Initially, I thought late start would be a fun change for our family. However, It has ruined our afternoons. Losing an hour of afternoon severely limits what we can do with our after school time. This means the kids have had to give up many after school activities. When you go to bed at 8:30, there's not much wiggle room. This just doesn't work for us.
Many of the Sunset Hill students are picked up by West brothers and sisters. If we are a late school, those West students will be hanging around Sunset and West waiting for dismissal. This can lead to many problems.
Wouldn't it be ironic that as a child care provider I would need to pay for before and after school care for my child as the proposed late start and release times would interfere with my businesses drop off, breakfast and snack schedules? Please go back to an 8-3 school day.
Please keep Sunset Hill an early start school! Those of us who will potentially have (4) children in both SH and WMS would very much appreciate drop off and pick up times closer together. Ultimately, it would respect our work and family schedules resulting in less hardship. School start times will absolutely factor into our school/neighborhood choice when moving this summer. Thank you for your consideration.
8am Starting time works great for our family.

Although we no longer have a child at Sunset Hill, my husband coaches the chess clubs at both Sunset Hill and West. Right now, he has to leave work early two days a week to run the clubs separately, but it would be much better for him (and the kids) if the school times were as they were before, so that the two clubs could be run concurrently.
