Dear Monroe-Woodbury families and staff,

I am writing to remind you that masks will be optional for all staff and students, including Universal Pre-kindergarten, in Monroe-Woodbury buildings and vehicles effective tomorrow, Wednesday, March 2. This protocol change comes as a result of recent guideline updates from Governor Hochul and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Please note that masks will be optional when riding in school vehicles as well.

I encourage parents and guardians to have thoughtful conversations regarding mask wearing with your children and to make a decision that best meets the needs of your family. As a school community, we must be respectful, compassionate and understanding of this personal decision.

I will share additional updates as they are released. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Warm regards,

Elsie Rodriguez
Superintendent of Schools
