If your child will need transportation to or from a babysitter or childcare provider during the 2026–2027 school year, please submit your Babysitter Transportation Request as soon as possible. The Babysitter Transportation Request Form is available on the District website under Transportation Forms – 2026–2027 School Year.
Please keep the following in mind when submitting your request:
✅ Babysitter transportation can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon, or both
✅ Bus stop locations must remain the same five days per week. For example, if your child is picked up at home each morning and dropped off at a babysitter each afternoon, those locations must remain consistent throughout the school week.
✅ The babysitter's address must be within your child's school attendance zone.
Questions about elementary school attendance boundaries? Please contact the Transportation Office at 845-460-6010 ext. 10213.
Requests received after August 21, 2026, will not be reviewed until after the second week of school. Once reviewed, requests may take up to 3 school days to process.
Thank you for helping us prepare for a smooth start to the school year!

If you have moved recently, please remember to update your address with the school district. Bring your lease or mortgage and a utility bill to the main office of your child's school, and they will update your records. Doing so will ensure that your student’s bus stop and transportation are correct for the school year!

SAVE THE DATE as we celebrate our MWHS Class of 2026 graduates! The ceremony will be held on Thursday, August 20, at 12 noon in front of Monroe-Woodbury High School, 155 Dunderberg Road, Central Valley. Hope to see you there!🎓🎉

As part of Section IX athletics, M-W is utilizing a new platform for registration and scheduling.

On Tuesday, July 7, the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District celebrated the grand reopening of its Education Center at 278 Route 32 in Central Valley following a year of extensive renovations. The historic building, which has long served as the District's central administrative offices, was transformed as part of the voter-approved capital improvement program.
To mark the occasion, Board of Education trustees, district leaders and community members gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which included remarks from Superintendent of Schools Tracy Norman and Board of Education President Kaytlin Simmons, as well as the unveiling of the state-of-the-art auditorium where Board of Education meetings and other community events will be held.
The new windows, cutting-edge technology and bright, welcoming workspaces are immediately visible. Equally important, however, are the extensive behind-the-scenes improvements, including upgraded infrastructure and mechanical systems that will support the District for decades to come.
As part of the celebration, the District created a time capsule that captures both the rich history of this building and this exciting new chapter. The Board of Education Trustees signed a proclamation commemorating the building’s long history and its significance to the people of Monroe-Woodbury. The time capsule will be opened 50 years from now, offering future generations a glimpse into this moment in our district's story.
“The Education Center has a rich history. Built nearly 100 years ago, it originally served as our district's first high school and middle school, serving grades 6-12. As our community grew and enrollment increased, the building evolved to become the administrative heart of our district. Today, it continues that legacy—renewed, modernized and ready to support the important work that happens here every day,” remarked Superintendent of Schools Tracy Norman, Ed.D.
