• welcome

    I am very excited to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher this year! Our classroom is #207. Please help your child to learn his or her bus number as soon as possible. The topics below will help you to become familiarized with our classroom and important information. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me at kodgers@barnegatschools.com. I am looking forward to an exciting year together!

    Sincerely, Miss Odgers
