I disagree with Scaeagles somewhat in that I think the need for a boyfriend or girlfriend is in inverse proportion to the maturity of the kid. Around here, we seem to have the junior high kids with lots of activities who do not appear to have boyfriends/girlfriends and the ones who hang out in the minimall with nothing to do except socialize, yak on cell phones and pour soda on the girls or scream invitingly for said pouring.
I'm a few years away from having to deal with this, but I'd probably tend towards 3894's rule.

School starts earlier for them so they are let out earlier. I think it's done to accomdate bussing schedules as none of the schools in corona have the same start times. My son, in 5th grade, has school start at 9:05 for example. Amy's school starts at 7:30.
We are encouraging her to participate in any and all school activities as she would like - sports in particular. That way she can have the supervision and activities and fill up some of that time.
