Due to today's weather and continuing flood warnings, Community Swim is cancelled for this evening.
Be careful out there, Crusaders!


Due to the forecast for ongoing rain throughout the day, all Monroe-Woodbury students will be dismissed one hour early today, Friday, September 29. Severe weather of this type may result in flash flooding and dangerous travel conditions, as we have recently experienced.
Dismissal times for each building are as follows:
MWHS - 12:58 p.m.
MWMS - 2:00 p.m.
Central Valley, North Main, Pine Tree - 2:45 p.m.
Sapphire UPK - 1:10 p.m.
Sapphire, Smith Clove - 1:50 p.m.
Important Notes:
If your child is a regular pick-up, please adjust your schedule accordingly and arrive at school one hour earlier than normal. If your child is not a regular pick-up, please do not come to the school building while dismissal is underway as it will delay the process. Our goal is to get students on the buses as quickly as possible and on their way home.
All after school activities are canceled. Out-of-district students will follow their regular transportation schedules.
Additional information will come directly from your child’s principal. Please be patient as our drivers navigate their routes and work to safely transport all students home.

The Girls’ Varsity Soccer Senior Night will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Field #12. Middle School Open House will take place as scheduled.
