Welcome to Ms. Brenner's Kindergarten Class
Dear Families,
Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Ms. Lauren Brenner. I am looking forward to building a positive relationship with you and your child this year!
Kindergarten is going to be a fun year of learning and growing both socially and academically.
In the beginning of the year, we will focus on classroom rules and routines, making good choices, proper hygiene, and getting to know our new classmates.
Together we will build a strong classroom community with a focus on creating a safe learning environment through kindness, respect, and a sense of belonging.
If you have any concerns or questions during the school year, please contact me.
(732) 202-1745 ext. 5101
I am looking forward to partnering with you this school year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Brenner
Important Information
Water Bottles:
Please send your child to school with a water bottle each day. Water bottles may only be used for drinking water in the classroom. Juice and other beverages may be brought and consumed in the lunchroom.
For safety purposes, please pack lunches in non-glass containers. Glass bottles and containers are not permitted in the classroom or cafeteria.
Classroom Snack:
Please provide your child with one small, healthy snack each day to enjoy during our Classroom Snack Time. Snacks must be peanut- and nut-free and should be something your child can eat and clean up independently within 10 minutes.
Please pack and label your child’s snack separately from their lunch to ensure that it is not eaten during lunchtime.
Temperature and Extra Clothing:
Sometimes the classroom and cafeteria can get chilly. You may send in a sweatshirt or sweater for your child to keep in their cubby throughout the year.
Please also send in a full change of clothes (shirt, shorts/pants, and underwear) to keep in the classroom in case of spills or accidents. Be sure to update the extra clothing seasonally and as your child grows.
