First Day of School...

Rupert, Idaho
August 24, 2026 4:30pm CST
Eli is almost done, he has a little over 15 minutes left. I hope the days been a good one and he hasn't had any trouble. I came to pick him up about 20 minutes early because I figured there'd be a long line out in the road. Surprisingly I actually got in the parking lot, and not super far away. So glad I came when I did. How early would you go? I wonder how long the car at the front of the lines been waiting!

School season is upon us yet again. I've been seeing the busses around town when we go out.

There's no gate in the middle school. They wait outside the doors and we drive through the line and wait our turn lol

@MommyOfEli2013 Are they not allowed to walk to get to their parents cars? If not why not?

I tend to be one who gets there early so they don’t have to wait long.

When I pick up my kids, I tend to be there early. Although now my two older ones come home by themselves since they're in grades 8 and 9.

@MommyOfEli2013 Early is definitely better, I agree. Yeah, it's nice that two are old enough to go to and from school. It;s just my son that we drop off and pick up.

Early seems to be better. That's good they are old enough to do so

@dodo19 Just having to wait so long before the pick up gets annoying lol. But that is good they are, and then you just have to take and pick up your son. My son is in 7th, and we live just like 2 blocks from the school...so he could walk lol

I guess, he doesn't really answer that question. His response is always "it was a day".
