Brooks School-Medford (Woburn: school districts, moving, train)

[TWCollins]

Hello. We're moving from Woburn to Medford after the school year. Wondering if anyone knows what the earliest you can drop kids off at the Brooks Elementary School is? Woburn allowed for 8am without having to do a morning program (wasn't offered anyway) Seems Brooks starts at 8:40. They do have a morning program, but if I can drop off and make my 8:30 train without paying for it I'd be very happy. Thanks.

I don't have experience with Brooks School directly, but I have been involved in a few school districts at this point and most allow for drop offs no more than 10-15 minutes before school starts, as there is no supervision prior to that.
I was in a similar situation with the drop off timing and found another parent that dropped off on the early side that was able to watch my daughter for me, which allowed me to catch my bus. I am not certain if that will be a possibility for you.
If the school has a Facebook page, you can ask around to get a feel for the timing. The school district we are in has a program for new families in the school where new families are paired up with families that are familiar with the school and with kids in the same grade. It really helps families adjust to the new school and answer questions like these. Maybe Brooks has something similar.
