In Nova Scotia, the school opening hours are insane. They are dictated primarily by STOCK transit who transport the children. This means the none of the schools operate on the same schedule and the start times and finish times are staggered based on the bus availability!

I live just outside Halifax. We have three Elementary schools which feed into one Junior High. From there, our students then go to High School which is miles away and covers a huge geographical area of smaller communities!

The Elementary near me, starts at 8.20am and finishes at 2.15pm for Grades Primary to Two. And the Grade Threes and older are dismissed at 2.45pm.
The second Elementary starts at 8.15am and has the same dismissal times as above. The third starts at 8.30am and dismissal is 3.15 & 3.45pm. Junior High leaves early in the morning 6.45am and is dismissed at 1.45.

Go less than 8kms up the road to the next town, and their school schedules are entirely different again.
