All Wyckoff Public Schools will be closed on Monday, 1/26/26. Also, there will be no extracurricular or evening activities at any of the schools. Have a safe day.
We will have a schoolwide meeting this Thursday, January 29th. All students and staff are encouraged to wear Coolidge spirit wear or blue/yellow. During this meeting, we will discuss the importance of our C.A.R.E.S. competency of the month, self-control.
Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year is now open. If your child is ready to start their educational journey this fall, please visit the district website for details and enrollment instructions.

VALENTINE’S DAY
Valentine’s Day will be approaching shortly. As a reminder, food or goody bags are not permitted to be brought into school for sharing 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; 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.
STUDENT COUNCIL- PERSONAL CARE DRIVE
This February, the Coolidge Student Council is looking forward to spreading the love to our local community by partnering with the Social Service Association of Ridgewood to hold a Personal Care Drive! This organization serves the local communities of Glen Rock, HoHoKus, Midland Park, Ridgewood, Waldwick, and Wyckoff. Students and families are encouraged to bring in personal care items that will be donated to those in need. Items are divided by grade.
