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.
There will be a half day for all students in grades PK-8 on Friday, June 14.
All of the fifth graders from the East Greenbush CSD elementary schools gathered at Schodack Island State Park in Castleton on Monday for the annual 5th Grade Mixer. It was an opportunity to meet students from other schools and get to know each other before they start 6th grade at Howard L. Goff Middle School in September.
Howard L. Goff Middle School hosted a 6th Grade Orientation last month for parents and guardians of current 5th grade students. School administrators provided parents with pertinent information about middle school expectations, academic programs, scheduling and extracurricular activities.
The East Greenbush CSD released Episode 12 of its podcast Let’s Learn Together today. In this episode, we have a discussion with three retiring teachers – DPS 3rd Grade Teacher Beth Hart, Goff French Teacher Joanne Loccisano, and Columbia Special Education Teacher Tara Maney. We discuss their teaching careers, what changes they have seen over the years, and what they will miss most.
School cafeterias will be serving Meatball Subs, Pizza Crunchers, Hot Honey Chicken Croissant, French Toast, Sandwiches, Salads and more in the month of June!
