If your child prefers to bring lunch from home, they are still welcome to take milk, fruit, vegetable, grain, and/or protein at no cost to complement their meal—our "Sidekick" meal.
We also offer convenient grab-and-go breakfast options that students can enjoy at school or save for later. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s health and learning—because every student deserves access to wholesome meals to be ready to learn each day.🥣🥪

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 today, Crusaders!
Babysitter/Childcare Transportation Requests: Bus routing for the 2026-2027 school year will soon begin. If your child requires transportation to and from a babysitter or childcare provider for the upcoming school year, please complete the Babysitter/Childcare Information Form.
All requests should be submitted via the online form by the state mandated deadline of April 1, 2026. Submitting your request by this deadline allows the transportation team to plan routes, assign buses, and confirm schedules before the school year begins. Requests received after the April 1 deadline may not be processed in time for the start of the school year.
Requests received in August (close to the start of the school year) will not be processed during the first two weeks of school as bus routes are established and families have been notified. Families will need to make alternative arrangements for a student’s babysitter/childcare transportation during this time period. We encourage you to make requests as soon as possible to avoid any disruption in service.
Teams competed in five different problems that encompass vehicle, technical, classics, structure and theatrical. Each team received its problem in early October and then constructed props and mechanisms to prepare the best solution to the challenge. The tasks include a skit or performance that is an original creation. The Middle School team led by Coach McInerney and Coach Rivera took top honors in their problem #2 (technical) performance and will be moving on to the state competition on March 21 in Syracuse!
Congratulations to all M-W Odyssey of the Mind participants!
