EMS Weekly Newsletter

Principal of Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School

I want to take a moment to recognize someone who is at the core of everything we do, our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Fullam. This week is Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, and I cannot say enough about the impact she has on our school each and every day. Her dedication to our students, her support of our staff, and her steady leadership help make our building the positive, supportive, and high-achieving place that it is. We are incredibly fortunate to have her, and I know our entire community joins me in thanking her for all that she does.

Looking ahead to next week, we’re excited for Spirit Week! These are always fun opportunities for students to come together, show their school pride, and build a stronger sense of community. I encourage all of our students to participate—there’s something special about seeing our entire school engaged and having fun together.

I also want to congratulate our students on completing the final i-Ready diagnostic. Now, we turn our attention to NJSLA. As we’ve discussed in grade-level meetings, this assessment matters. It’s an opportunity for our students to show what they know and to represent Wyckoff with pride. This is a chance to demonstrate the hard work, growth, and talent that define our school community. I know our students are ready to rise to the occasion and knock it out of the park.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Award Winners

Thank you to Mrs. Van Der Wende for organizing our recent hygiene drive in support of City Relief. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, we were able to donate 120 hygiene kits to those in need. As Mrs. Van Der Wende shared, she was overwhelmed with gratitude because this effort truly would not have been possible without the support of our students and families. We are so proud of the compassion and service-minded spirit that continues to define our community.

We are now beginning to collect for graduation gowns and stoles. To ensure every student is ready for the ceremony, please note the following details:

Total Amount Due: $25.00
Payment Method: Please make checks payable to Eisenhower Middle School.

Thank you for your help in getting our graduates ready for their milestone moment!
