40 years go by in a blink of an eye...just ask Lois Ann Hayes, a retired M-W teacher who returned to the classroom this year to fill a leave position in the MS. Ms. Hayes began teaching during the 1983-84 school year and spent much of her career shaping young lives in M-W. Once a Crusader. Always a Crusader. 🤗💜⭐️ #mwlegacy #crusaderpride #mwinspiresuccess

Mr. Foley wears many hats at M-W!😀 In addition to serving as a school safety officer at Smith Clove, he and his lovely wife spread Christmas cheer throughout our community by dressing up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.🎅🏻🤶🏻 Their only request is that anyone who wishes donate money to a charity of their choice. This year, The Cozy Café at MWHS was the blessed recipient of more than $6,000 in donations raised by Mr. and Mrs. Foley. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! Our students are so grateful!💜🙏

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.

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!
