As we approach the winter break, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible partnership we share in supporting your children. This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to slow down and enjoy the simple joys of family. On behalf of the Coolidge Staff, I wish you a restful, healthy, and happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
As a reminder, all Wyckoff Schools will have a minimum day on December 23rd. Coolidge School will have a 1:05 dismissal.
Our special area teachers have compiled a monthly newsletter featuring happenings from their classes. Click here for the January Newsletter.
We want to remind families that students must continue to wear sneakers for physical education. Sneakers are required for safety and participation, even on days when students arrive wearing boots. Students may bring sneakers to change into at school.
Message from Mr. Cosman regarding this week’s school musical rehearsals: Check out the updated January Calendar for the upcoming musical rehearsal schedule. There are no rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Students should enter via the gym doors. Please wait in your car until someone opens the doors at 8:15. Contact Mr. Cosman if you have any questions, or refer to his email.
On Friday, our December Schoolwide meeting was focused on our annual Holiday Singalong (a.k.a. Singapalooza), where we sang some favorite holiday songs and played some fun games. A great time was had by all! Thank you to Mr. Cosman, Ms. Dulmage, and Mrs. Boyle for leading us in the games and songs!

I-READY DIAGNOSTIC SCORES
You may access your child's iReady diagnostic scores for grades K-5. Here are directions for accessing the scores. You may need to make sure that pop-ups are not blocked on your device.
I-Ready creates a personalized learning plan, termed “My Path,” based on the student’s diagnostic, to address areas for growth. This, along with each teacher's personalized instruction plan for each student, helps us differentiate instruction and increase growth.
