Hi, everyone!
If I say, "I go to school at 6:30", does it mean I leave my home for school at 6:30?
If so, is it okay to say," I go to school at 6:30 and get there at 7:00"?
This is just my guess, but I thought "to go to school" could mean "to get to school" depending on the context.

You're right that it could mean 'get to school', but it usually means 'leave home', so that ' I go to school at 6:30 and get there at 7:00' is perfectly natural.
