M-W schools closed - Friday, January 19. Due to inclement weather, Monroe-Woodbury schools and offices will be closed on Friday, January 19, 2024. YMCA Club Kid and all after school activities are canceled. Out-of-district students will not be transported today. Stay warm, M-W!
It takes a village! The wintry weather conditions have been a bit tricky to navigate this week, and our M-W team has done an outstanding job of preparing buildings and parking lots to ensure students and staff are able to safely travel to school. Special thanks to our transportation team, working closely with the Department of Public Works, for traveling the roads in the early morning hours to help us make decisions in the best interest of our school community.
We are grateful for all you do behind the scenes.
All Monroe-Woodbury schools and offices will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17, due to icy road conditions and extremely low overnight temperatures. This extra time in the morning will allow crews to treat roads and complete clean-up to ensure safe travel for our students and staff.
The start of the academic day will be as follows:
M-W High School – 9:08 a.m. start time
M-W Middle School – 10:15 a.m. start time (AM classes will begin at 9:25 a.m.)
Sapphire and Smith Clove – 10:30 a.m. start time
Central Valley, North Main and Pine Tree – 11:15 a.m. start time
Students will be picked up at bus stops approximately two hours later than usual. All buses, both in and out-of-district, will operate on the specified delay schedule.
All CTE programs at BOCES will be bussed based on the Monroe-Woodbury schedule. Students will not be charged for absence from BOCES if buses are not available. BOCES delayed opening cancels morning CTE programs.
Safe travels tomorrow!
Based on the forecast for an extended period of snow, sleet and frigid temperatures tonight through tomorrow evening, which will impact the District’s ability to safely transport students, all Monroe-Woodbury schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16.
We hope this advance notice helps our families plan accordingly. Stay warm and safe, Crusaders!

Along with the Monroe Police Department, the Kids Changing the World Club held its first Toy Drive to benefit kids in the M-W community.

It was a perfect way to give back to the community and kickstart the holiday season.🎁🤗🙏

On Friday, December 15, the Kids Changing the World Club delivered hats they had collected to Garnet Health Medical Center's Cancer Center. These hats were collected during the club's annual Hats for Hope Drive to benefit cancer patients at the hospital.
For the first time, the Crochet for a Cause Club at the high school also took part in this drive by donating a bag full of hats that they created during club meetings this fall. It was a perfect partnership of two clubs coming together for a worthy cause.
Shown are members of the Kids Changing the World Club with their donations at the Cancer Center. Well done, Crusaders!
