No School - Monday, January 20

All schools and offices in the East Greenbush CSD will be closed on Monday, January 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

All this week we’re reflecting on 2024 and the great moments from the East Greenbush Central School District. Here’s a look back at some of our favorite photos from our schools over the last 12 months.
