Good evening Greene County Families,
All schools will have a 2-hour late start tomorrow and will run a regular Tuesday-Friday dismissal schedule. There will be no AP in the morning at the high school.
Elementary Dismissal - 3:10pm
Middle School Dismissal - 3:30pm
High School Dismissal - 3:23pm
We understand the constraints that this may put on families who rely on the regular Monday early release schedule, however, we did not want to lose a day of instruction when there is still time for county and city maintenance crews to continue cleaning and clearing roads. Breakfast will still be available, free of charge, at all schools for all students who wish to have it.
As always, please use the additional time to exercise caution when traveling and arrive to school safely.

At last night’s school board meeting, Tim Riphagen was elected vice president, and Cindi Daubendiek was re-elected as school board president. Cindi previously served as board president, and Tim will be stepping into the role previously held by Bonnie Silbaugh.

We are pleased to welcome Katie Nelson (left) and Megan Holz (right) to the Greene County School Board and congratulate Cindi Daubendiek (center) on her re-election to a second term. We sincerely thank them for stepping up to serve our district and for the time, care, and leadership they bring to this important role. We look forward to the positive impact they will have on our schools, students, and community.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Bonnie Silbaugh and Michelle Fields for their dedicated service on the Greene County School Board. Both Bonnie and Michelle served one four-year term and contributed countless hours of time and effort to support our students, staff, and community.
During their time on the board, they served on numerous committees and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to navigate complex challenges, including the hiring of a new superintendent. Bonnie’s leadership as both president and vice president of the board, along with Michelle’s service as vice president, helped guide the district through important decisions and growth.
We are grateful for their commitment, leadership, and passion for education. Their work has made a lasting impact on Greene County schools.
Thank you, Bonnie and Michelle, for your years of service and dedication!

On behalf of Greene County Community School District, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Iowa Supreme Court Justices for visiting the Greene County High School on Tuesday, November 4, and holding an oral argument for Alex Butter and Sydney Stodola v. Midwest Property Management, KMB Property Management, and Ruby Investments. It was an incredible opportunity for our students, staff, and the public to witness the judicial process firsthand and to learn more about how our state’s highest court operates.
A special thank you to Chief Justice Susie Christensen for spending time with our seniors that afternoon -- sharing her journey to becoming Chief Justice and offering incredible insight into what it’s like to serve on Iowa’s highest court.
This memorable and educational experience was made possible thanks to the Greene County Bar Association. We very much appreciate their support in helping bring this event to our school!
