Eighth grade students at Howard L. Goff Middle School learned about the history of the Capital Region, and specifically, about the East Greenbush area during class presentations last week from Anna Doren, Director of Education for the Rensselaer County Historical Society.
Incoming 6th, 7th and 8th graders will choose at least one book to read this summer. When students return to school in the fall, they will complete an assignment on this book for English class.
Two dozen teachers were recognized at the public Board of Education meeting on Wednesday evening for participating in the East Greenbush Central School District’s educator mentor program. The program pairs a new teacher with an experienced teacher in their same school or subject area to provide support and coaching throughout the school year to help ensure their success.
Administrators at Howard L. Goff Middle School recognized the May Students of the Month on Tuesday morning in the school cafeteria. Students were nominated by teachers for showing the character trait of “Citizenship.” Congratulations!
After long and dedicated careers in education, 26 employees are retiring from the East Greenbush Central School District. We wish them the best!
