^^^Yes this. It’s literally 1-2 weeks (max) before the school year. Usually it’s the same (as what your neighborhood has been in the past but I expected my daughter to be in AM (had been that way for 10+ years and they changed it her year for PM). If it is very important to you, most principals will take AM or PM requests. (But your request negates bus. so, if your neighborhood is PM but you wanted him to take the bus but you requested AM, you’d have to drive) Hope that makes sense!
