This year’s Play Like A Crusader Summer Baseball Camp reached new heights of enjoyment! A big shout out to the coaches, alumni, and volunteers who dedicated themselves as counselors—including district baseball staff and high school student-volunteers. It was truly a wonderful opportunity for everyone to enjoy the outdoors together! Go, Crusaders! ⚾️

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.
✅ The babysitter's address must be within your child's school attendance zone.

Questions about elementary school attendance boundaries? Please contact the Transportation Office at 845-460-6010 ext. 10213.

Requests received after August 21, 2026, will not be reviewed until after the second week of school. Once reviewed, requests may take up to 3 school days to process.

Thank you for helping us prepare for a smooth start to the school year!

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! 🎨✏️🖼️

Happy Summer! Maddox N. an upcoming fourth grader at CVE is spending his summer creating Mortal Kombat inspired art! #Summer2026

Valery will serve as the voice of the students and will provide reports at BoE meetings throughout the school year. Read more about Valery on the district website: www.mw.k12.ny.us. We look forward to a great school year! 💜

During the 2025-2026 school year, the Food Service Department proudly served more than 1,000,000 nutritious meals for the second year in a row! This incredible milestone reflects the dedication of the Food Service team and the continued support and participation of the students, families, administration, Board of Education members, and the entire Monroe-Woodbury school community.

MWCSD has also been approved to continue operating under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) through June 2029, ensuring that all enrolled students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch each school day at no cost to families.

If you have questions about the Monroe-Woodbury Food Service Program, meal benefits, menus, nutrition information, please reach out to the Monroe-Woodbury Food Service Department. The Food Services department remains committed to supporting students, families, and community partners as we continue providing high-quality, nutritious meals to our students each day.
