Dear Lincoln School Community,
We had a wonderful afternoon today as our PTO hosted the annual “Fall Festival” after school on the Lincoln fields! It was a great opportunity to come together as a community for fall-themed games, activities, snacks, an amazing pumpkin raffle, a petting zoo, and most importantly lots of fun. Thank you to our Fall Festival chairs, Mrs. Tenderenda and Mrs. Turland, our Pumpkin Raffle chairs, Mrs. Ely and Mrs. Hade, as well as the countless PTO and middle school volunteers that supported the event, ran the games and activities, and helped to make the Fall Festival possible. It was a memorable event for the Lincoln School community!
Thank you to Officer Powderley from the Wyckoff Police Department for visiting Lincoln School this past week to interact with our students at recess, as part of the NJ School Violence and Vandalism Awareness Week. We truly value and appreciate our public servants in Wyckoff, and thank them for keeping our community safe.
Please note that the school photo retake date will be on Monday, October 27th. Photo retakes will take place at 9:15 am. The photographer will retake pictures of those students who were absent, or by parent request. If you have not already done so, please reach out to Mrs. DiMeglio at mdimeglio@wyckoffschools.org if your child will be taking a picture retake.
As you know, next Friday is Halloween! The Lincoln School Halloween parade is scheduled for Friday, October 31st, at 2:30 pm. Parts of the costume that can be safely worn, and allow students to engage in learning, participate in recess/PE, and use the restroom, may be worn to school in the morning. Other costume attachments and accessories, or costumes that cannot be easily and comfortably worn throughout the day, should be brought in a bag and students may change prior to the parade. Please be mindful of appropriate and safe costumes, and note that toy guns, knives, weapons, etc., are not permitted. Parents are asked not to wear costumes or masks that conceal their faces. Please allow plenty of time to park safely and arrive in time for the event. If you are a parent that is volunteering during a class event, please be sure to sign in at the front office and wear a badge when in the building. We hope you can join us for this fun tradition here at Lincoln School.
Classroom teachers have sent out an email to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 10th and 17th. If you have not received an email please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher.
In November 2025, grade 4-8 students will participate in the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-Adaptive (NJSLA-A) field test administration for English Language Arts and Mathematics, aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. This assessment, which will not be scored, will be used by the state to select test items for the NJSLA-A assessment in the Spring. In accordance with the New Jersey Department of Education’s mandate for statewide participation, Wyckoff Public Schools is required to participate in this field testing. Please see this letter from our Assistant Superintendent, Grace White, for more information.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Patrick Lee
Principal
