We hope you enjoyed the winter break and are ready for a healthy & happy 2026!

We are continuing to see the flu, norovirus, rsv and pneumonia; please continue to keep your child home with fevers, vomiting, diarrhea and associated symptoms - Check out the following link to learn more: When to keep your child home

As the days get colder and the weather gets unpredictable, make sure to dress your children for cold weather and in layers for changing indoor & outdoor temperatures.  Continue to encourage hand-washing, coughing & sneezing into elbows, a good night’s sleep, exercise and a balanced diet with plenty of water!

The New York State Department of Education requires that all Kindergarten & 1st grade students have a physical exam. A valid physical for this school year is one performed on or after September 1st, 2024 or new entrants within 1 year prior to start date.

Additionally, per NYS law, we will be screening all Kindergarten & 1st grade students' vision and hearing if not done and documented on their current physical exam. Check out this link for more information: Forms and more info from the Nurse’s Office

As we head into the winter months, we are reminding all M-W families to please have arrangements in place for your child in the event of a 2-hour delay, early dismissal, or school closure, and to make sure your child is aware of these alternative plans.

SchoolMessenger is the district’s primary parent/guardian notification system. As always, parents and guardians may receive important notifications. If there is a change to the student schedule or if school is closed, we will notify families by 5 a.m. via email, phone, or text (if opted in; see instructions), based on preferences selected on the Parent/Student Portal. Information will also be posted on the district’s website, Facebook page, and Instagram account.

Stay warm, Crusaders! 

Has your child lost a jacket? Sweatshirt? T-shirt? 

It could be in our Lost and Found area! 

Please come in and check in the Main Lobby to see if any of your lost items are here.

As of August 20, 2024, School Messenger has replaced Swift K12 as the district’s parent notification system. As always, parents and guardians may receive important notifications from the district via email, phone call or text. 

NEW WITH SM: 

Parents and guardians must “OPT IN” to receive text messages via School Messenger. It’s easy and quick! Please take care of it right away!

How to OPT IN to receive text messages:

• Text “Y” to the number: 67587 from the phone number you have registered to your Student’s Profile as a contact.

• You will receive a text message confirming you have registered to receive text notifications: “You’re registered 4 SchoolMessenger notifications. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help.”

Please note: If you DO NOT “OPT IN” for text notifications, you will NOT receive text notifications. You will only receive phone calls or emails. We encourage you to make your selection as soon as possible to ensure smooth communication with no interruptions.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

A partir del 20 de agosto de 2024, School Messenger ha reemplazado a Swift K12 como el sistema de notificación para padres del distrito. Como siempre, los padres y tutores pueden recibir notificaciones importantes del distrito por correo electrónico, llamada telefónica o mensaje de texto.

NOVEDADES CON SM:

Los padres y tutores deben “OPTAR” para recibir mensajes de texto a través de School Messenger. ¡Es fácil y rápido! ¡Por favor, ocúpese de ello de inmediato!

Cómo OPTAR para recibir mensajes de texto:

• Envíe un mensaje de texto con la palabra “Y” al número: 67587 desde el número de teléfono que haya registrado en su perfil de estudiante como contacto.

• Recibirá un mensaje de texto que confirmará que se ha registrado para recibir notificaciones de texto: “Está registrado para recibir 4 notificaciones de SchoolMessenger. Responda PARE para cancelar, para recibir ayuda”.

Tenga en cuenta: si NO “OPTA” para recibir notificaciones de texto, NO recibirá notificaciones de texto. Solo recibirá llamadas telefónicas o correos electrónicos. Le recomendamos que haga su selección lo antes posible para garantizar una comunicación fluida y sin interrupciones.

All students enrolled at Monroe-Woodbury Central School District are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch in school at no charge to your household each day of the 2025-2026 school year. 

All students will be able to participate in these meal programs on the first day of school without having to pay a fee or submit an application. All schools provide a breakfast program for students upon entry into school and a lunch program for students in the cafeteria. 

School meal programs offer breakfast and lunch meals that meet strict federal nutrition standards, aligned with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and are planned with student preferences in mind. If packing food from home, students can add to their home brought lunch at no cost by choosing at least three of the five items offered, (e.g., low fat milk, proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits), one of which must be a vegetable or fruit. We invite students to show their support for their school food service program through participation.
