February 2026 Message from Dr. Postma
Dear Wyckoff Families,
This month we celebrate National School Counselors Week (Feb 2-6) and also recognize National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day on February 15. We are grateful to our school counselors for supporting students’ academic growth, social-emotional development, and overall well-being. We also appreciate our school resource officers for their work in keeping our schools safe and welcoming. Their partnerships with staff, students, and families help make our schools strong and supportive communities. As we move into February, there are several opportunities for learning, engagement, and community connection to share with you.
