Appletree opening all virtual

Does it make sense to unenroll? DL for PK3 seems like a waste of time.

In my opinion, distance learning for 3 and 4 year olds completely negates the purpose and benefits of Pre K. I think I might unenroll my kids and try again next year.

Are you sure? We haven't gotten any confirmation from them yet.

But our daughter is prek-3 and, if its dl all year, then we will definitely pull her. If it's a wait and see we might give it a try with the hope that they will open in winter.

What is your alternative, OP?

Yes unenroll. Waste of money.

There is no way any school will be open in winter for in person learning.

NP. Yes, for sure. Check email.DL for the first quarter at least.

If you unenroll for PK3, you lose your spot for PK4. DL May be worthless, but I would at least do what I need to hold the spot for (hopefully!) later in the year and next year.

Not OP, but I plan to invest in some learning apps, Bob books, go to the zoo, the Playseum, the playground, and teach my kids as much as I can. I might even look into a private, half-day preschool. Pre K is not mandatory and I'm not interested in dealing with schools taking attendance or begging my kids to pay attention to like I did in the spring.

DL is bogus, but you aren’t paying for it, and if they reopen and you feel comfortable sending DC, you’ll have a spot.

Yes, unenroll. DL for preschool kids just doesns't work no matter how hard the teacher tries to engage them. Their brains just aren't wired for it yet.
