Classroom Setting During Remote Learning

Classroom Setting During Remote Learning

At least one pre-school in madison county is offering a program letting children do their virtual schoolwork in a classroom setting-- with the help of teachers.

Waay 31's casey albritton learned how "premier preschool" plans to keep students safe.

Organizers say the goal is to keep everything as clean as possible... when dropping their child off, parents and students will have their temperatures taken, parents will sign the child in, and personal itemssuch as pens will be put inside a uv light sanitizer after being used.

"i was seeing what my options were if that in face happened here, which it did."

Katie barron says when she heard the three districts were starting with remote learning, she was concerned.

"my husband and i both work and it would be hard to give her the attention she needs while taking care of the responsibilities we have with our employer."

She says she still wanted an in-person education for her xx-year-old daughter.

"still get the enrichment of in-person interaction, which is for younger kids, and to the extent of adults, is very important."

And when it comes to safety, program director, cyndie allen, says there are precautions in place.

"we have computer tables, where they will each have a station, where we can put some sort of divider between them and put them farther apart."

Students and teachers will be screened before entering the building and only 40 students are being accepted into the program to limit exposure to coronavirus.

"this is a huge relief to know my child will be in good hands."

The program director tells me staff will continue to monitor cdc guidelines and adjust the cleaning protocol when needed.
