East Greenbush CSD Announces Half Days for June 18 and 20 Due to Extreme Heat in Weather Forecast

Jun 14, 2024 | Bell Top, District, Genet, Goff, Green Meadow, Pre-K, Red Mill, Sutherland

In anticipation of extreme heat next week and its impact on health and safety in schools, the East Greenbush Central School District will have half days for grades PK-8 on Tuesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 20. Schools are closed on Wednesday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth and there is already a half day scheduled for Friday, June 21.

The current weather forecast shows temperatures in the mid- to high-90s, and as high as 97 degrees on some days between Tuesday through the end of next week.

Dismissing early on these days will allow students to get home before the temperatures rise to their highest points. Classrooms become uncomfortable and present potential health issues in extreme heat.

The district is announcing the half days now so that families have time to make any arrangements for child care, if needed.

Columbia High School is unaffected by the anticipated heat wave. The last day of regular classes was yesterday and students can take their Regents and Local Exams in air conditioned spaces.

Dismissal Times:

  • Goff: 10:40 a.m.
  • Pre-K (DPS/Genet/Green Meadow/Red Mill): 10:45 a.m.
  • Genet: 11:15 a.m.
  • Bell Top: 11:30 a.m.
  • DPS: 11:30 a.m.
  • Green Meadow: 11:30 a.m.
  • Red Mill: 11:30 a.m.
