A huge thank you to the PTO for providing some healthy treats and snacks for the staff in our faculty room this week. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated.
Report cards will be available on the Genesis Parent Portal on Friday, March 27th, at the end of the school day for grades 1-5. If you have any difficulty accessing the portal, please email our Genesis helpdesk at genesis@wyckoffps.org.
Parents of 5th-grade students, please note that all forms and payment for the Fairview Lakes YMCA trip for incoming 6th-grade students are due by March 31st. Forms and payment may be dropped off in the red box in the main office.
To help our students stay focused on learning, we are asking that all personal "fidgets" and "squishies" stay at home. While these can be helpful tools, we have noticed that they often create significant distractions in the classroom. To support students who need sensory input, teachers will now provide school-approved tools on an as-needed basis. If your child has a specific need outlined in an IEP or 504 plan, we will continue to provide those accommodations. Thank you for helping us keep our classrooms focused!
Students had some fun this week building traps and trying to catch a Leprechaun! Kindergarten students worked hard on this, and first graders partnered with their 5th-grade Book Buddies to build some elaborate traps. Unfortunately, once again, the Leprechaun outsmarted our students!
Parents are invited to attend a parent workshop titled “Growth Mindset and the Power of Learning Through Struggle,” which will be held on April 9th at 7:15 PM in the Washington School MPR.
