Last Day of School
This week was Teacher Appreciation Week. We appreciate our dedicated and talented faculty and staff, and all they do for the children of Wyckoff every day. Also, Wednesday was National School Nurse’s Day - we are fortunate to have a team of nurses here at WSD whose expertise and caring manner benefit our students and keep them healthy and safe. Last month was Autism Awareness Month - check out the post on our website about the T-shirts that Sicomac teacher Mrs. Ellen Calamito developed to raise awareness about autism. State testing is underway in grades 3-8, and will continue through next week.

Battle of the Books
This week, select EMS students competed in the Battle of the Books tournament at Cavallini Middle School in Upper Saddle River. The EMS 6th grade team and 7th-8th grade teams competed against Upper Saddle River, Ramsey and Midland Park at the Bergen County level competition. Students answered questions from fifteen different books they read as part of the EMS Battle of the Books Club. According to Ms. Hazley, the school club’s advisor, “Wyckoff put up a great fight and even made it to a dramatic tie breaking round.”
Teacher Selected for Disney 100 Years
Mr. Angelo Bonavitacola, EMS Technology Teacher, visited the Disney campus in California last week after being selected as one of 100 teachers across the U.S. to be part of the Disney Imagination Celebration, all expenses paid. Here’s the link to the event he attended. In the last photo on the webpage, Mr. Bonavitacola is in the top row, second from the right.
