Dear Monroe-Woodbury Middle School Families,

All good things must come to an end. Yes--June 2026 is finally here.

I cannot say it enough--thank you to all our families, students, and school community for working together and rising to the occasion this school year. We truly could not have done it without your support, partnership, and commitment throughout the entirety of our academic year.

With the blink of an eye, we have successfully completed the NYS ELA and Math State Exams. Some of our Grade 8 students are scheduled to take either the NYS Algebra I Regents Exam on June 17 and/or the NYS Life Science: Biology Regents Exam on June 18. We are now entering the final stretch of the school year, and there is still much to look forward to as we celebrate our students’ accomplishments and growth.

Our Moving Up Ceremony will be held at the high school on June 24. A memo has already been sent to all families of students moving up, with specific dates, times, and additional details regarding the ceremony.

Please find below the end-of-year schedule for the middle school:

June 4 (Thursday): Last day for 5:00 PM bus

June 11 (Thursday): Last day for 4:00 PM bus

June 18 (Thursday): Last full day of classes

June 22-25: Half-day dismissal at 11:37 AM

June 26 (Friday): Early dismissal at 10:15 AM

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the main office. We are in the final stretch, and we look forward to finishing the school year strong alongside you and your child.

Thank you again for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Rafael Vasquez, Jr.

PROTOCOLS FOR VISITORS TO SCHOOLS

Schools are a place of work and learning, and certain limits must be set for any visitation. Any visitations require principal or his/her designee approval.

The building principal or his/her designee is responsible for all persons in the building and on the grounds. For these reasons, the following rules apply to visitors to the schools:

Anyone who is not a regular staff member or student of the school will be considered a visitor. This includes any contractor or government official conducting professional or official business. 

The Monroe-Woodbury School District uses a visitor management practice known as The Credential Exchange Program. The practice requires all visitors to enter the school at the main entrance where they will press the intercom button. Using the visitor intercom system, a Safety Officer or Meeter Greeter will engage each visitor from inside the school and ask the individual to state their purpose for visiting. When a legitimate purpose has been stated, the Safety Officer or Meeter Greeter will electronically grant access to the visitor and they will enter the inside of the school or vestibule. Upon approaching the Security Desk or vestibule, all visitors will follow the Credential Exchange Program.

The Credential Exchange Program requires all visitors to produce a valid Government Photograph ID, which will be vetted by the Safety Officer or Meeter Greeter through the VISITOR DATABASE. Once authorization is permitted, the Safety Officer or Meeter Greeter will take the printed-out visitor’s tag and insert it into the ID holder attached to a break away Orange Visitor Lanyard. The visitor will hang the Orange Lanyard around their neck and the Safety Officer or Meeter Greeter will maintain the visitor’s ID in the security booth or vestibule’s lock box. All visitors to the school must report to the main office upon entering the school.

Student visitors are not permitted during the school day or to functions not open to the public without advance approval from the principal.

Any unauthorized person on school property will be reported to the principal or his or her designee. Unauthorized persons will be asked to leave. The police may be called if the situation warrants. All visitors are expected to abide by the rules for public conduct on school property contained in our Code of Conduct.

Refer to individual school handbooks for additional information and requirements.
