Fifth grade students from across the East Greenbush Central School District learned about the Holocaust from two guest speakers during a virtual presentation last week. The presentation featured Leon and Marsha Halpert, who are the parents-in-law of Genet 5th grade teacher Daniel Scher, and who are both children of Holocaust survivors.
For most students, attending school every day is not an issue. But for some students, chronic absenteeism is affecting their learning and development. Each of the schools in the East Greenbush CSD are working to improve attendance through a variety of strategies.
