On Friday we held our January School Wide Meeting. The focus of this meeting was to recognize ways we can be charitable and kind and help others with our words and actions. Our Student Council gave an important update about our Color a Smile program as well as the upcoming food and book drives. We learned a new greeting, played a game of “Just Like Me”, and ended the meeting by singing Happy Birthday and our Cougar Pride song.
Valentine’s Day will be approaching shortly. As a reminder, food or goody bags are not permitted to be brought into school to be shared with classmates. Students in grades K-3 typically give a card to each classmate (be sure there is a card for each child in the class). No food may be attached to the cards but, if you want, students may attach a simple non-edible item such as a sticker or a pencil. Students in grades 4-5 do not exchange cards in school but teachers celebrate the holiday with their students in different ways.
A NOTE FROM PHYSICAL EDUCATION- MRS. MCCURRY AND MS. REITANOWe realize many students may choose to wear boots to go outside for recess. However, please remind your children to pack sneakers on PE days.
Thanks to the generosity of the PTO, we are going to have a second author visit this year. Robert Skead, a former Coolidge student and current Wyckoff resident, will be coming on March 8 for the culminating activity during Read Across America Week. Students will get to hear how a student who used to sit in the very same gym went on to become an author. Once again, you will have the opportunity to order autographed books if you want them. Please return the book order form by February 28 to Mrs. Needleman if you are interested.

As part of the ESSER grant, we are pleased to provide teacher-led tutoring before school to address learning loss. Teachers will tutor students in Grades 2-5 in reading and math, beginning February 12. To apply for this limited-capacity program, complete our tutoring application form here. (This program will be run by Wyckoff teachers before school, and is separate from the Grades 3-4 high-impact tutoring currently taking place during the school day for select students.)
