A NOTE From Smith Clove Principal christine arlt

Dear Smith Clove Families,

As we enter the month of March, we are excited to say goodbye to winter and welcome spring! The longer days and warmer weather are on the horizon, and with them comes a month full of wonderful opportunities for our school community to connect and celebrate together.

This month, we look forward to our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences, a wonderful time to partner with you and support your child’s continued growth. We always appreciate the chance to talk about progress, celebrate accomplishments, and plan for a strong finish to the school year. Please schedule your conference using pickAtime. Information regarding how to schedule was previously shared. If you need assistance, please contact the main office. Please remember that all Spring conferences are held virtually.

We’re also thrilled about the upcoming Harlem Wizards game on March 6 at the HS—an event that promises lots of energy, laughter, and school spirit! It’s always a highlight of the season and a fantastic way for families to come together.

And don’t forget about our SC Family Movie Night, Friday, March 13! We can’t wait to gather for a relaxing and fun-filled evening with our students and families.

March is shaping up to be a busy, exciting month, and we are so grateful for the continued support and involvement of our Smith Clove families. We look forward to seeing you at these special events!

Fondly,

Christine Arlt, Ed.D.

Free Meals - All Students

2025-2026 School Year Reminder

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.
