Unfortunately Amazon’s widespread issues have impacted the district’s internet service and livestream capabilities .

Thank you to the M-W families who have already completed the online questionnaire. Your questions and concerns are important to us and the district leadership team looks forward to a thoughtful dialogue next week.

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.

Concert season has begun! Make sure and check out the district website for a schedule of performances.

All Monroe-Woodbury schools will be closed on Wednesday, November 24 - Friday, November 26 for Thanksgiving break. Enjoy the holiday!
