Genet Elementary School hosted its annual Fun Day on Monday with students participating in games and activities throughout the school day. Students rotated through stations that included relay races, kickball, volleyball, pickleball, cornhole, kan jam, water balloon toss and parachute games.
Fourth grade students took on the roles of famous historical and contemporary figures such as Paul Revere, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart and Jane Goodall at Genet Elementary School’s annual Interactive Wax Museum on Friday.
Nearly 40 staff members who are retiring from the East Greenbush CSD this year were recognized for their service at Wednesday’s public Board of Education meeting in the Columbia High School auditorium.
In the first 10 days of utilizing stop arm cameras on school buses, 77 drivers were ticketed for illegally passing an East Greenbush CSD bus, according to a Transportation Department report. Each of the instances were recorded by new stop arm cameras that were installed on buses this past winter in an effort to improve school bus safety.
Twenty educators including teachers, teaching assistants and administrators have earned tenure this school year after successfully completing a four-year probationary period of effective instruction and evaluation. Congratulations!
Due to the continued Air Quality Health Advisory issued by New York State, the East Greenbush CSD has canceled all outdoor activities for Thursday, June 8.
