The UAB VIRTUAL PRESCHOOL will cover the remaining topics that were planned for the rest of the preschool year. It’s planned to go like this: Materials for the first week & supplies can be picked up during the “Parade of Preschoolers” on Monday, May 4th. (See sidebar to the left.) Each week students will receive a weekly packet in the mail with school materials and incentives. These materials are similar to what they have done in preschool and brought home. Estimated time to complete is 5-10 minutes each. Approximately 5 weekly videos (by our Preschool staff) will be available online to be viewed whenever best fits your family’s needs. Yes, Flexibility! (www.uabchurch.org/preschool-families) Zoom sessions to safely connect with friends. MWF students will continue with their weekly homework. A picture of their finished homework can be emailed so teachers can look it over and offer encouragement. If you’re in the MWF class and interested, a safe Preschool Graduation will be scheduled. The Virtual Preschool program will run 8 weeks. We’ve applied for the Paycheck Protection Program and have received a gift towards this program so we’re only asking for a one-time, optional donation (suggested $10) to help cover costs. PARADE OF PRESCHOOLERS MONDAY, MAY 4TH WHY? For students to see the teachers, to receive an Easter basket treat, & to pick up supplies for Virtual Preschool. HOW? Students & their parents/families drive through the Preschool driveway and receive their things in a contactless method. Enter from College Avenue, please. WHEN? TuTh students are to drive through anytime between 5:30-6:15pm, and MWF students anytime between 6:15-7:00pm. ALSO: Part of the parade will be a video station where each student—from your car—can record a message to their friends. The greetings will be put together and shared so everyone can see their friends messages! All students & family members must stay in their vehicle at all times.
