Your questions and concerns are important to us and the district leadership team looks forward to a thoughtful dialogue next week.

Remember to wear PURPLE or BLACK tomorrow - Thursday, December 2! M-W commemorates National Special Education Day in honor of Crusaders with disabilities and the educators who support them. We've dressed in gold, pink and red this fall, so let's do one more! December 2 is the anniversary of the creation of the Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which made public education available to all students regardless of ability.

Crusaders commemorate National Special Education Day - Thursday, December 2 - Wear purple or black! On Thursday, December 2, members of the Monroe-Woodbury community are invited to wear purple or black to commemorate National Special Education Day in honor of Crusaders with disabilities and the educators support them. December 2 is the anniversary of the creation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which made public education available to all eligible students. IDEA ensures that special education and related services are provided for those students. It was the first and most important step in creating the path of equity in education and resources for all students.

Orange County Early Dismissal Drill: All students will be released 15 minutes early. Parents and guardians should anticipate that their child will arrive home 15 minutes earlier than usual. Thank you!

REMINDER: All M-W schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, September 16, in observance of Yom Kippur.
