WANT TO CHECK OUT A COMMUNITY MEETING? Come join us, every other Friday, at 2:15 in the Brennan gym! We present on December 11th!
Our day begins at 9:05am and will end at 3:30pm. Please don't drop your child off before 9:05am as there will be no one present to supervise them. If you arrive prior to 9:05 am, you must wait with your child. Students will be marked tardy if they arrive after 9:15am.
Breakfast is served and eaten in the classroom until 9:15am.
Lunch is provided at no cost to all students. If your child brings a bagged lunch to school, it must be healthy. ALL CANDY, SODA, or UNHEALTHY snacks will be taken from students as it is not allowed at Brennan Rogers. The same goes for snacks. That being said, we will not be allowing sugary treats for birthday celebrations. If you would like your child to share a birthday snack with their CREW, please send them in with a healthy one. Please see me if you have questions regarding what snack is constituted as healthy. Other birthday celebrations can include tangible items such as pencils or stickers.
Drinking water throughout the day is encouraged and allowed in room 18. However, only water is allowed throughout the day - no joice, Gatorade, Poweraid, Iced Tea, etc.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL.
School Uniforms
Brennan Rogers will continue to be a uniform school. Students will be expected to wear school uniforms beginning on the very first day of school and will do so until the last day of school. Any non-uniform days will be announced in advance via the school newsletter.
As we work to establish excellence as a school, our uniforms play an important part in this process. Research shows that school uniforms support a safe and disciplined learning environment, which is the first requirement for any good school. Students who are safe, secure, and learn the essentials of good citizenship are overall better students.

We will be working very hard to prepare ourselves for another year of the new state testing. The SBAC test is VERY different than the CMTs. The SBAC will be taken on a computer, and it will require students to know how to manipulate a mouse and type answers. We have been learning to type in class, but any additional time on the computer at home would be very helpful!
Below are websites that students can use at home to practice typing:

Please see the Homework Helper link for activities your child can do at home to reinforce skills taught at school!
JOIN THE PTC (Parent Teacher CREW)!
Brennan Rogers is looking for parents who would like to get involved with the great things going on at Brennan Rogers! Also, if you have an opinion or idea that you'd like to be heard - please come and share it with us at our meeting. Parents have worked very hard and because of ideas that they suggested, we now collect Box Tops, we participate in the Stop and Shop A+ Rewards Program, we have a Uniform Store, and we are working on getting one (or two!) speed bumps in front of our school to slow down traffic! We hope that the PTC is eventually run by parents - so if you're a leader PLEASE join us!
MEETING DATES WILL BE POSTED SOON!
