WESLEY CHAPEL – It was hurry up to school, then wait – and wait – for the first bell at Wesley Chapel Elementary this morning.
Last year, the school began its day at 8:40 a.m. This year, the time was switched to 9:35 a.m., but many parents didn’t get word.
Nearly an hour before the first day of school began at the Pasco County elementary school, parking was already at a premium, with cars and vans parked in the grass along Wells Road.
Principal John Abernathy was unperturbed.
“You’re early. You can take it easy,” he told one of the early arrivals, Carter Ciesluk, 6, a first-grader. “No stress.”
Abernathy wore a “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” tie as he greeted children and parents.
“Some of the students are smiling, but I’ve noticed all of the parents are smiling,” Abernathy said.
