Wyckoff PTO Coordinating Council - Code of Conduct
The Wyckoff PTO Coordinating Council recently adopted a code of conduct. They've asked for it to be shared with PTO members at each school.
PTO members at all levels are required to read and uphold the standards of conduct. The document will be sent out to everyone in a dedicated email, added the Coolidge PTO website, and the Wyckoff School District website as well.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Walk and Roll to School Day this Wednesday!
Our first school-wide Green Team event is Coolidge's Annual Walk to School Day on Wednesday, October 2.
- Get some fresh air and leave your car behind!
- Walk or bike to school to get some exercise and reduce traffic and air pollution!
- Students will be greeted by the Cougar and some music upon their arrival on this fun kick-off to the school day!
Fun Idea: Reach out to your friends and neighbors to create a “Walking School Bus” from your neighborhood. Don’t forget about friends that live too far to walk, or are unable to walk with their child(ren). Invite them to be dropped off at your house so they can walk too.
Thank you for joining in on the fun!

How much $$: You can buy a digital gift card for your child (think Scholastic digital wallet) @ literati.com/store/product/gift-card/. This is held digitally and cashiers will access this for your child’s purchase on the day of the book fair. You can also send your child with cash or a check. Don’t forget to include a little extra for TAX. We suggest browsing the attached catalog or the online selections so you can estimate how much money to send in with your child.
Teacher Wish List: Many teachers have created wish lists which can be found here Teacher Wish List. Please take a moment to visit this link and consider buying a book. Some books on wish lists are gray, which just means they have an additional shipping charge and cannot be sent directly to the school. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Questions: Please contact Erin Roe @ 973-819-6942 or Ashley Mungiello @ 607-280-2054
