TRANSCRIPT
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.

Your preschool teachers miss you!
We will not be able to continue
our 2019-2020 preschool year
together physically in order to
follow the law and keep each
other safe. While that makes us
sad , we are happy to say that
we will be offering an opportunity
for continued engagement—
VIRTUAL PRESCHOOL! ☺

P.S.—What about the Fundraiser? Mrs. Cash will be contacting you...
We are living in unusual times. We,
and our preschoolers, were abruptly
thrust into this. Yet, participating in
VIRTUAL PRESCHOOL can:
provide exposure & encouragement to learn the materials &
work on the skills needed later in kindergarten.
remind preschoolers that they are cared for by friends & teach-
ers through “safe” social interactions.
create an opportunity to “finish out” the school
year & have closure.
I hope your preschooler will join our VIRTUAL PRESCHOOL!
—Mrs. Cash
If you have a Tuesday-
Thursday student and are
planning to return to pre-
school in the fall, we need
your 2020-21 Letter of Intent.
(If you can’t quite put your
hand on the Letter of Intent
previously provided, just tell
Mrs. Cash for what days &
times you plan to enroll.)
Many of you will be receiving
a tuition refund. If your child
is going to participate in VIR-
TUAL PRESCHOOL and you want
the one-time, optional dona-
tion to be deducted from
your refund, you will be able
to indicate that on the re-
sponse form.
As always, please feel free to contact Mrs. Cash
([email protected]) if you have any questions.
We’re still in this together! Let’s keep learning!
