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.
Orange and Rockland Utilities (O&R) notified the school district today that power in MWHS and MWMS must be shut off to address a wiring issue on Dunderberg Road.
To accommodate O&R, MWHS students will be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. and MWMS students will be released at 2:50 p.m. All students and staff must vacate the buildings upon dismissal. Families should anticipate that their children will arrive home a few minutes early today.
All HS and MS after school activities are canceled today. All athletic competitions and practices are canceled for today with the exception of Girls’ Varsity Soccer Senior Night game and festivities. 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.
Power should be restored in both buildings by 4 p.m. Thank you for your understanding.
On Friday, Sept. 29, M-W will GO GOLD in honor of all those people who are fighting cancer, those who have won the battle, and the angels watching over us. We wear gold as a show of compassion for families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, alums and all members of the M-W family who have been impacted by pediatric cancer. #mwgoesgold
Have a safe, restful extended weekend, Crusaders. We can't wait to see you on Tuesday, September 26!💜

Stormy weather conditions are causing delays for this afternoon's buses. Please be patient! We are grateful for your understanding. Safe travels.

Welcome back, Crusaders! It was a GREAT first day. Get a good night's rest and we will see you tomorrow. Just a reminder to please be patient as our students and drivers adjust to their new bus routes. Thank you!💜
We have missed you! We are so excited to welcome our students back on Tuesday, Sept. 5. Enjoy the long weekend!💜🎉🥰
It is close, but it's possible that more Crusaders headed to the Dominican Republic this summer than to Disney World. Based on these pictures, it must be the weather and the amazing color of the ocean! What great vacations to remember as summer ends!
