North Main Crusaders showcased their hard work at the annual science fair! Projects ranged from the mysterious workings of lava lamps to the applications of electrical circuits. Families watched as each student demonstrated and presented their hypothesis. Great job! 👏🧬
The program recognizes individuals, including outstanding alumni, who have made significant contributions to our school community or achieved excellence in their respective fields. A permanent interactive exhibit honoring inductees is located in the main lobby of Monroe-Woodbury High School, 155 Dunderberg Road, Central Valley, NY.
Nominees fall under one of two categories: A Contributor is someone who has been a supporter of the Monroe-Woodbury School District’s athletics, arts and academics for at least five years. A Distinguished Alumni is a graduate of MWHS who has achieved significant recognition or success in a particular area, made impactful contributions to society, or brought honor to their alma mater through their accomplishments.
The district is currently accepting nominations for the second class of inductees into the Hall of Distinction. All individuals selected to be a member of the HOD will be honored at an Induction Ceremony during the fall of 2026. All entries must be submitted by April 30, 2026, via the online MWCSD Hall of Distinction nomination form. Visit https://www.mw.k12.ny.us/page/hall-of-distinction for more information.💜👏

The MWMS Art Club supported the Drama Club for their spring production of Into the Woods Junior. The Art Club meets on Tuesdays and many students volunteered every week in January and February to create Fairy Tale Posters for the play. These students had creative liberty and their final products were stunning. The posters were displayed in the auditorium during the performances and students were gifted a free ticket for the production. Students' names were also listed in the PlayBill. Great collaboration, Crusaders!🎨🎭💜
Babysitter/Childcare Transportation Requests: Bus routing for the 2026-2027 school year will soon begin. If your child requires transportation to and from a babysitter or childcare provider for the upcoming school year, please complete the Babysitter/Childcare Information Form.
All requests should be submitted via the online form by the state mandated deadline of April 1, 2026. Submitting your request by this deadline allows the transportation team to plan routes, assign buses, and confirm schedules before the school year begins. Requests received after the April 1 deadline may not be processed in time for the start of the school year.
Requests received in August (close to the start of the school year) will not be processed during the first two weeks of school as bus routes are established and families have been notified. Families will need to make alternative arrangements for a student’s babysitter/childcare transportation during this time period. We encourage you to make requests as soon as possible to avoid any disruption in service.
Teams competed in five different problems that encompass vehicle, technical, classics, structure and theatrical. Each team received its problem in early October and then constructed props and mechanisms to prepare the best solution to the challenge. The tasks include a skit or performance that is an original creation. The Middle School team led by Coach McInerney and Coach Rivera took top honors in their problem #2 (technical) performance and will be moving on to the state competition on March 21 in Syracuse!
Congratulations to all M-W Odyssey of the Mind participants!

As the Transportation Department of the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District prepares for the 2026–2027 school year, we ask families to notify the district if their child(ren) will be attending a nonpublic school.
To ensure eligibility for transportation, parents or guardians of all students attending nonpublic schools must submit a Nonpublic School Transportation Request by April 1, 2026. To request the form or submit your information, please contact District Registrar Marisol Jerez at 845-460-6200, ext. 10171.
If your student is already registered at a nonpublic school and you received a letter from the Transportation Department in January, please return it as soon as possible. If you misplaced the letter or did not receive one, please contact the Transportation Department at transportation@mw.k12.ny.us with your child’s information so we can assist you.
Candidates must have strong communication skills and will work collaboratively with district and building administrators to meet with students from all buildings; identify areas of interest and concern among the student body; and present findings and recommendations to the Board of Education.
Eligible students must:
1. Be a senior at Monroe-Woodbury High School during the 2026-2027 school year;
2. Attend board meetings (with exceptions for illness or advance notice of conflicts);
3. Be prepared to make a brief student report at BOE meetings, specifically addressing topics of importance resulting from conversations and meetings with principals and students at each M-W school.
Interested students are asked to fill out an online application by April 10, 2026. Applications will not be accepted unless a resumé is submitted. Applicants will also participate in an interview process conducted by members of the M-W Board of Education. Visit the website for a link to the application.
