How early do you arrive to school, and what do you do before school starts?

<p>At what time does your school start and at what time do you arrive?</p>

<p>School starts for me at 8ish (they keep changing it!), and these days I tend to arrive at 7:30 or so (yay for having personal car!). My little group of friends always congregates in the library before school where we do HW and play computer games, so I usually go there.</p>

<p>I've gotten into the habit of doing my first hour HW immediately before it's due. The class is titled "Jesuit Spirituality" and we have to read a bible passage and write a short reflection on it, which we then discuss in class. I read the passage at ~7:50, write my 2 paragraphs on it from 7:51-7:56, and then discuss it at 8:05. :D</p>

<p>My school starts at 8:50 (I think). I ride the school bus so I don't get a choice what time I arrive at school. My school bus gets to school at 8:30 ish. I usually just go to my first period class and do homework or talk with people. Nothing special.</p>

<p>My school starts at 7:20.
I drive myself and get there anywhere from 6:45-7:15. If I leave my house at like 6:30 SHARP I can get there at 6:45. If I leave at 6:31 it's 7:10. Anytime after 6:31 it's just luck if I get there on time or not. We have so many cars coming into one entrance at one time we've got policemen everywhere routing traffic/SLOW BUSES and that always screws everyone over who wants to get to school early.
Last year [I drove that year too but was less lazy] I always got there at 6:40 or so. Prolly cus I had way more homework then [or more homework that I'd actually do].
Now whatever time I have before school is spent doing these silly econ sheets we always have to do, or doing my Latin translations for the previous night [first period! lol] OR if I'm lucky just being with friends :]</p>

<p>ah, 7:20 is pretty early. I didn't know schools even started then. :p</p>

<p>In the past couple of years (when I didn't have a car/license) I would have to be driven by my mum, and she had a very capricious work schedule, so there would be months when I would *arrive *at 5-5:30 or so to school every day. I could do absolutely no HW ever and start and finish it all then, haha. I even managed to complete some major projects in those morning hours...</p>

<p>Yeah, 7:20 is evil...
It makes everyone drop out, lol. My HS class started with 800+ students and now it's been whittled down to just over 600 [as of the end of last year, not sure about now].</p>

<p>School for me starts at 8:30. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have 2 college classes at 8:30 and 9:30, and then high school classes start at 12:00. But Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have to get to school 'til noon! Yay.</p>

7

<p>My school starts at 8 and I walk to school getting there about 745.</p>

8

<p>School starts at 8:00, and most days I get there around 7:20, 7:00 if I need to study. 7:20 is insanely early for school to start.</p>

<p>Moodrets, that funny how you guys meet in the library. I do the same exact thing since freshman year. Theres only me and a bunch of my friends there every morning and we just do HW.</p>

9

<p>my first class doesn't start until 9:10 (i have a block off). so i come in around 850, and hang out in AP lit, for we have a break between blocks one and two.</p>

10

<p>We have to be in homeroom by 7:54, but I usually arrive around 7:58. First period officially starts at 8:00.</p>

11

<p>My school starts at 7:20 too, I thought that was kind of normal. I guess not though.</p>

12

<p>Homeroom starts at 7:47, first class starts at 7:54. I used to arrive at 7:25-7:30 because I walked to school, but we moved out of town so now I ride the bus.
But the first day, which is Wednesday, I will ride into town with my mom who leaves at 6:45 and walk to school with my friend, because it's a tradition.
We typically hang around in the halls, or we go and talk with our band teacher for a while and check out if we have lessons or whatever. Or we go to the library, the gym, etc. anywhere we need to go and get stuff before school starts.</p>

13

<p>^ Yeah, shravas, I always thought 7:20 was normal for high school too. Guess we were wrong!</p>

14

<p>My school starts at 8:15. I get there around 8ish. Can't get into the halls/anywhere except the lobby & cafeteria til 8</p>

15

<p>My high school starts at 7:30. When I ride the bus, I get there around 7:00. When I get a ride from my grandma, I either get there around 6:45 or 7:25. </p>

<p>When I get to school at least 15 minutes before class starts, I hang out with my fellow (non-existant) drama club members in front of the auditorium. If I'm late, I stand in the hallway that is closest to the portables so that I can miss the crowd.</p>

16

<p>Start at 7:20. Wake up at 7, pee, brush teeth, get dressed, leave by like 7:08-7:10, get there around 7:18-7:20 real life time, but school clocks are 3 minutes slow, so I just walk into first period barely on time. I'm not a morning person, and 7:20 is indeed evil. However if there are a few rare days that I get to school early, I just walk around with friends & sit by some lockers & talk.</p>

17

<p>We start at 7:45... I usually get there at 7:44, depending on traffic lights. Oh, and that damn train...</p>

18

<p>School starts at 7:45, get there usually around 7:30</p>

19

<p>The bell rings at 8:10,and I usually come anywhere from 7:45-8:06 or so lol.
I just go in this teacher's class and just talk until the warning bell rings</p>

20

<p>School starts at 7:45. I get there at like 7:40 so there's pretty much no waiting time.</p>

<p>where do you lucky kids go that your school starts at 8:30?</p>
