Census Information

If you have children that are under the age of 21 living in your home, please contact the District Office to register your children for the 2018-2019 school year.  This information is important to the planning and budgeting process. 

How Does School Choice Work?
Little Red School House currently houses Kindergarten and First Grade.  Students are provided their 2-12 education through agreements between our Board of Education and the Boards of Education of other Districts.  Annual tuition agreements are on a year by year basis.  Currently, North Greenbush has tuition agreements with the following Districts; Averill Park School District Grades 2-12, Wynantskill Union Free School District Grades 2-8 and Troy City School District Grades 6-12.  East Greenbush School District 9-12.  East Greenbush 2-8 still only remains an option for siblings of current East Greenbush Students.  Parents choose a School District not a School within the district.
