At the Marlboro Central School District, we’re proud of our student-athletes, coaches, and fans who make our athletic programs a true source of school spirit and community pride. As we cheer on our teams this season, we ask all spectators to help us create a positive, respectful environment for everyone.

The most recent Connections newsletter is a Spectator Conduct Policy Edition, highlighting expectations for appropriate behavior at school sporting events. You can review these important guidelines here: https://5il.co/3rl9r

Let’s model the respect, teamwork, and integrity we hope to see in our student-athletes. Thank you for helping us make Marlboro athletics a positive experience for all. Remember: Be loud, be proud, but be POSITIVE!

It’s National School Lunch Week! This week shines a spotlight on the importance of healthy, balanced meals that fuel our Dukes’ success—both in and out of the classroom. Research shows that students enjoy some of their healthiest meals at school, and school meal programs play a key role in promoting good nutrition, overall wellness, and academic achievement.

The Marlboro Central School District is proud to continue offering breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students. A big thank-you to our hard-working Food Services team for preparing these nutritious, delicious meals every day!

It’s School Board Recognition Week! We’re proud to recognize and thank our dedicated Board of Education members for their continued service to the Marlboro Central School District. Your leadership and commitment make a difference for our students every day.
