On Monday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m., the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District will test its emergency alert system. This TEST allows families to verify receipt of morning announcements regarding school closings, delays or other emergency notifications.
In addition to our primary Early Morning message system (SchoolMessenger), the district will also be testing our back-up notification system. For THIS TEST ONLY, you will also receive an additional phone call, text and email notification.
If you do not receive the TEST message on Monday evening, review your contact information in the Parent Portal for errors and make any necessary changes. Please reach out to your child’s building for assistance if you have questions.

MWMS students in Ms. Shannon Alonzo’s Technology/STEM class created their own soda-bottle rockets! These seventh graders researched rocket designs, sketched prototypes and constructed rockets from recycled materials. Students explored forces and motion, aerodynamics, measurement and scientific communication, all while practicing safe, mission-style launch procedures. Excellent job, Crusaders! 🚀👍

Monroe-Woodbury’s Art department was treated to a very special performance during yesterday’s professional development day. The day began at Ann St. Gallery with a presentation from Will Carter, a former M-W Art Major and current artist and ended the day at Newburgh Pottery for a wheel throwing and hand building lesson. The best part of the day was hearing from Will how their problem-solving skills and creative beginning was at Monroe-Woodbury and how lucky they feel having had that experience. 💜

On Wednesday, October 29, AV Technician Dana Kerstanski was among school district employees countywide who earned a 2025 Mid-Hudson School Study Council (MHSSC) Award for Excellence in Support Staff Services. Each year, the MHSSC recognizes individuals in the education field who display excellence in their work. Awards were presented to Kerstanski and other honorees at an October 29 celebratory event in Middletown.
Kerstanski plays a key role behind the scenes. Whether he’s setting up the audio visual components for a Board of Education meeting, supporting the Music and Art Departments with their performances and exhibits, or collaborating on The M-Dub Morning Show, Kerstanski proves he is truly multifaceted.
Vice Principal Dr. Kelli Sciarra said, “Whether he is coordinating logistics for assemblies, collaborating and managing logistics for prom and homecoming, or supporting critical events like the mock accident and senior celebrations, Mr. Kerstanski brings insight, innovation and a can-do spirit to every project. He ensures that everything runs smoothly and safely, often anticipating challenges before they arrive.”
Congratulations, Mr. Kerstanski! 💜🏆
