We held our Class of 2018 Reunion this week at Coolidge School. It was so great to welcome back our students and wish them best of luck. "Once a Cougar, Always a Cougar"
This year, we bid farewell to Principal Stephen Raimo, who is retiring after 20 years of service in the Wyckoff School District. At the helm of Sicomac School, he led with care, consistency, and a deep commitment to student success.
We are deeply grateful for the lasting impact Principal Raimo has had on the Sicomac School community and wish him joy and fulfillment in retirement.

As we celebrate our 2025 retirees, we extend special gratitude to Principal Scott Blake, who is retiring after 19 years of dedicated leadership at Washington School. Under his guidance, Washington School has thrived as a welcoming and supportive learning community.
We thank Principal Blake for his commitment to students, staff, and families, and wish him all the best in retirement!

👮♂️🚓 Chief for the Day! 🚓👮♀️
Sicomac had a very special visitor Friday! Our PreK student, Theo, was named “Chief for the Day” by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office. He arrived in style with members of the SWAT team and Prosecutor’s Office, who spent time visiting with students and staff.
Theo’s big day included a squad car escort, meet-and-greet with officers, and plenty of smiles from our Sicomac PreK students! Thank you to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office for this incredible experience and for making lasting memories with our students.

At last week’s Board of Education meeting, we had the privilege of recognizing this year’s retirees for their many years of dedicated service to the Wyckoff School District. Their impact on students, colleagues, and the community will be felt for years to come. We thank them for their commitment and wish each one the very best in this next chapter!
The Eisenhower Middle School baseball team was recognized by the school board after winning the NBMSAL Championship last month. Strong pitching, defense, and timely hitting carried EMS through the postseason, “The camaraderie these young men have with each other really showed down the stretch,” said Head Coach Mr. Ciarlo. Congratulations to the team on this accomplishment!
EMS students Carl McDowell, Jack Adler, and Adam Carbone were recently recognized by the Board of Education for qualifying for the National Geography Bee, with Carl and Adam also earning spots at the International Championships.
Carl and Jack competed at Nationals in Orlando, where Carl advanced to the quarterfinals and placed 10th in the European Geography Exam. Both represented EMS with skill, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Congrats to all three students and their teacher, Ms. McMillan.
Congratulations to the EMS Track Team on a successful season and a strong showing at the league championship meet last month. Many students placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their heats, and several set new personal records—demonstrating growth and progress throughout the season under the leadership of Coaches Mr. DeBlock and Ms. Angiello.
A special congratulations to Ryder Kertesz, who placed 2nd in the 1600-meter race at the championship meet and was recognized by the Board of Education at its June 2 meeting.
