CRUSADER CONNECTION

to the 2025-2026 school year!

A MESSAGE FROM Mr. Jason McElroy, MWHS Principal

Dear Monroe-Woodbury High School Families,

We've made it to June, and the school year is quickly coming to a close. The past few months have flown by, filled with so many exciting and memorable moments that I feel fortunate to get to be a part of.

As the year winds down, I want to take a moment to thank the entire Monroe-Woodbury High School community. I want to reiterate something I shared last year: I am both humbled and proud to serve as the Principal of MWHS. Our faculty, staff, students, and families make this an incredible place to learn, work, and grow each day. The culture we continue to build together is something special; something to celebrate, nurture, and take pride in.

I would also like to congratulate the many students who have been recognized and honored over the past month. This is a time when we celebrate the dedication, perseverance, and hard work that students have demonstrated throughout the year. Their achievements are well deserved. What makes these celebrations even more meaningful is the recognition of excellence in so many forms. Not only academic achievement, but also the accomplishments of our artists, musicians, actors, athletes, and student leaders who enrich our school community in so many ways!

To our Crusaders: finish strong! The final weeks of the school year can often be the most challenging, but they are also among the most important. Stay focused, complete your assignments, prepare for your exams, and continue giving your best effort. Summer will be here before you know it!

It has been an outstanding year, and I could not be prouder of all that you have accomplished. Thank you for making Monroe-Woodbury High School such a remarkable place. I look forward to celebrating the successful conclusion of another great year.

NYS Distraction-free learning

The Distraction-Free Schools New York State law, which was passed as part of the 2026 state budget, aims to promote student mental health and student success by prohibiting student use of personal electronic devices from the time students arrive at school until dismissal. This law goes into effect at the start of the 2025-26 school year.

The law applies to students in grades UPK-12 and bans the use of smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds, wireless headphones, and other internet-enabled devices. School-issued devices are exempt and will continue to be an important instructional tool in the classroom.

At the Board of Education meeting on July 23, the Board approved the Students and Personal Electronic Devices Policy. This policy addresses how the law will be enforced in our schools, as well as exemptions and exceptions. Families may request an exemption under specific circumstances, such as for documented medical or disability reasons. If you believe your child qualifies for an exemption, please complete the online Exemption Request form. All requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the district's Exemption Review Committee. Submission of this form does not guarantee approval, but it is the first step in the review process.

Check out the demonstration video below for our building guidelines on how we are utilizing "Yondr" pouches for secure device storage during the school day.

In an effort to be fully transparent and keep all stakeholders informed, we want to clearly outline the consequences associated with this new policy. Please review our progressive discipline steps here:
