Recently, the Edmonton Catholic School District decided that it would save a lot of money by using 1 bus for 2 schools. In order to do this, they decided to change the school hours. Sister Annata Brockman School will now start at 7:55 am and dismissal is 2:30 pm. Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous? As a single working parent, this change will completely disrupt me and my children's lives. I urge the District to either change the schedule back, or set later start times for the schools. Please sign the petition and share... I feel change can only be done through social media.

The growth of this petition reached a point that forces the District to take notice of our concerns. I am finalizing a formal letter to the school board trustees to request a meeting regarding these scheduling adjustments.

7:55 am is a ridiculous time to go to school....kids should be sleeping until 8 am...not be at school by then. How are parents supposed to pick up their kids at 2:30
Expecting a child to get up and be ready this early in the morning is rediculous. Kids have evening activities that also build them into amazing people so they can’t give these up just to get to bed early for a rediculous start time like this.
As an educator, I know that the research indicates earlier start times has a negative impact on learning.
This will be a serious detriment to our special needs son + typical child who will now be required to take the bus by 7:30 AM. Absolutely ridiculous for elementary aged children.
Our school already adjusted the start time a few years go when fter Bessie Nichols opened and people complained the traffic was to contested in the mornings. Leave the times alone. Adolescent children have a hard enough time functioning at 815am. It has been proven thier brains do not fully function until about 10am
I believe this completely ridiculous. It’s time to take a vote, and listen to the families that occupy this school. Being cheap is not the right answer!
Absolutely ridiculous, put the children first! They are our future

Kids should be going to school no earlier than 8:30 and parents need to be able to work a full time job. This change is ridiculous. I would also love to know why there are only 112 signatures considering the school is over populated!!! Where are the parents?
