It’s all smiles from Chuck, the Head Day Custodian at CVE! Chuck, and the entire custodial team are working hard all summer long to ensure our buildings are ready for the start of the new school year. 😁

Our Summer Program for English Language Learners (SPELL) recently came to a close. Crusaders took part in a variety of programs, including music, physical education, STEAM, and art projects. Families were invited to a special concert at North Main to mark the end of the program where students proudly showcased their talents! 🎸🖼️🧬

Whether you’re looking for extra income, a flexible schedule, or a way to make a difference in your school community, we’d love to have you on our custodial team!

The Micro Computer Center (MCC) is currently marking a decade of its technology internship initiative, and former Crusaders have returned to take advantage of this opportunity. Since 2016, 58 interns have worked in the MCC, gaining valuable experience with new technologies while helping repair and maintain computers throughout the district.

Led by Computer Network Specialists Zachery Neenan and Cody Walsh, a team of six interns travel throughout the district when many classrooms are empty, to learn new systems, perform inventory and repairs, and upgrade digital devices.

“The interns are a huge part of this process. They assist in ensuring classrooms are ready for teachers, staff, and students on day one of the new school year," remarked Neenan.

Although majoring in diverse fields such as journalism, engineering, and pre-med, these students all recognize the critical role technology plays in their respective fields. When asked why he chose to intern at MWCSD, Stony Brook sophomore Pravin Jegan shared, "I attended school here for 12 years, why not work here and give back."

“This program was initiated by district administration to support our students with college and career readiness, while also assisting the district with a variety of technology-related projects. It aligns with our mission to ensure all students (and alums) have access to opportunities that help them grow in and beyond the classroom,” said Bhargav Vyas, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent of Compliance and Information Services. 💻

If your child will need transportation to or from a babysitter or childcare provider during the 2026–2027 school year, please submit your Babysitter Transportation Request as soon as possible. The Babysitter Transportation Request Form is available on the District website under Transportation Forms – 2026–2027 School Year.

Please keep the following in mind when submitting your request:

✅ Babysitter transportation can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon, or both
✅ Bus stop locations must remain the same five days per week. For example, if your child is picked up at home each morning and dropped off at a babysitter each afternoon, those locations must remain consistent throughout the school week.

Cristian S. incoming second grader at NM enjoyed the waves along the beautiful beaches of Long Island. 🌊🏖️

If you have moved recently, please remember to update your address with the school district. Bring your lease or mortgage and a utility bill to the main office of your child's school, and they will update your records. Doing so will ensure that your student’s bus stop and transportation are correct for the school year!

On Tuesday, July 7, the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District celebrated the grand reopening of its Education Center at 278 Route 32 in Central Valley following a year of extensive renovations. The historic building, which has long served as the District's central administrative offices, was transformed as part of the voter-approved capital improvement program.

To mark the occasion, Board of Education trustees, district leaders and community members gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which included remarks from Superintendent of Schools Tracy Norman and Board of Education President Kaytlin Simmons, as well as the unveiling of the state-of-the-art auditorium where Board of Education meetings and other community events will be held.

The new windows, cutting-edge technology and bright, welcoming workspaces are immediately visible. Equally important, however, are the extensive behind-the-scenes improvements, including upgraded infrastructure and mechanical systems that will support the District for decades to come.

As part of the celebration, the District created a time capsule that captures both the rich history of this building and this exciting new chapter. The Board of Education Trustees signed a proclamation commemorating the building’s long history and its significance to the people of Monroe-Woodbury. The time capsule will be opened 50 years from now, offering future generations a glimpse into this moment in our district's story.

“The Education Center has a rich history. Built nearly 100 years ago, it originally served as our district's first high school and middle school, serving grades 6-12. As our community grew and enrollment increased, the building evolved to become the administrative heart of our district. Today, it continues that legacy—renewed, modernized and ready to support the important work that happens here every day,” remarked Superintendent of Schools Tracy Norman, Ed.D.

Summer Enrichment 2026 is in full swing and there's still time to register! Enrollment has been extended to Wednesday, July 15.

Students in Ms. Rubio's art class were introduced to a famous painting and were challenged to put their own spin on the piece. Crusaders painted Monet’s water lilies and even drew a cartoon parody of the Mona Lisa! Excellent work! 🎨✏️🖼️
