Lower Merion School District Healthy School Start Time

Was this Dr. Faucci's idea. Lower Merion is so soft. Sorry boss I can't come in today my cicada rhythm was off!!!

This is a horrible idea that lady that says it is life and death is nuts. Also there are no lights at stadium. How will kids practice?

Please consider all creative solutions to develop a two-tier model that allows all LMSD students to start school after 8:00.

Teenagers need to sleep. My daughter catches a 6:35 bus. Too early.

Please follow the data to later start times for high school students.

I support a change of start time,however not at the expense of elementary students. We have many working parents who will be forced to incur day care or child care costs

Later starts for middle and upper school!!

Please align the school times with science. It was difficult for our daughter when she was at LMHS.

Please be on the side of science, health, well-being, and success. All of our families will benefit.

Follow the science. This simply makes sense and will help foster healthy students throughout their high school experience. Thank you.

I fully support the proposal for later school start times for high school and middle school students in LMSD, and everywhere.

Our three kids struggled with high school start times, despite living a 6 minute walk away. We need to align schedules with the science.

This is so important and cutting edge if you pass this important measure, you and LM school district will be even more of a groundbreaking leader in best practices for adolescent mental and physical health.

My third child is now in 9th grade. He has to wake up at 615 am for the bus which is too early for his body. He is tired all the time.

The high schools and middle schools should begin as closely as possible to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommended guideline of an 8:30 a.m. start!

Teens need sleep. Studies show the benefits are tremendous and necessary

School should start at 8:30 - any earlier is too ealry!

My children are not yet at this age; they are still in elementary school, but I have seen my older nieces and nephews struggle with this. Changing the start time of school to later will help support the academic success of Lower Merion children in school.

I am a Harriton student’s grandmother, deeply concerned about this issue

Please save our kids from driving half asleep and give them a chance for better academic performance
