Please do not change school start and end times to later; rather, if anything, change them to earlier. Otherwise, you and failing to genuinely consider and assure the best interests of our children and families.

This schedule makes everything incredibly difficult for student athletes. This year I had morning practices only for about a week and it made school even more difficult. If we start later it will interrupt everyone's schedule leading to more absences and worse performances, doing the opposite of its intentions.

I completely agree. I think this schedule would negatively effect many students lives

This school schedule is ridiculous it will only get worse by pushing it back more

Please don't change the bells any more. They are going to make it impossible for student athletes to continue with their sports.

As much as I like the start time this year, getting out at 2:20 was better. I'd rather they don't change anything than do this stupid new schedule!!!

Of course I enjoy the idea of an early dismissal on Wednesday, but it changes nothing. Wednesday is the Frasier rerun of days. Nobody really wants it but it's gonna happen no matter what and it reminds you of jazz. Also I'm not sure what changing the start time from 8:45-9:00 does, by 2025 we're just going to be attending night school. Anyways 15 minutes more of sleep doesn't compensate for about 35 more minutes of probably mindfulness and deep breathing accompanied by chimes.

The proposed start times are ruining sports schedules. I am on swim team and my practices got moved to the morning. I would have to wake up EARLIER and then struggle to get ready in the time between practice and school. Then, I would miss more class time for swim meets. This results in poorer performance in school, the opposite of what is intended. It is a nice idea but not thought through.

The new school times affect my ability to play basketball after school on time, and gives me a shortened day after school.

As a student athlete this schedule change could be detrimental to my mental and physical health. Change start times back to 7:45

Would the school consider a 7:50 start time?

School ending later will negatively affect people who have to go to after school activities and sports. It will mess up the entire dynamic

My daughter will be in 11th grade next year at Ballard HS and she plays sports. She would miss a lot of school to make game times and practice. This does not seem like an appropriate trade off.

Yeah can we not, stats already show kids need less school to grasp and utilize the knowledge they are taught

I don't have the time my swim practice starts at 4 everyday and I'm already late every day as it is plus I hardly have enough time to do homework there just isn't enough time with it delayed.
