Good afternoon Ram Families,
The 24-25 school year is off and running and we have had a great first few days of school and we are looking to continue those moving forward.
Fall MAP Testing Next Week
Next week will mark the beginning of our Fall MAP Testing. All students in Kindergarten through 11th will complete these assessments and give us our baseline of where are students are at, what direction we need to go with their learning, and set growth and achievement targets to ensure their success for the rest of the school year. We are excited to see all of the great progress that our students are going to make!
As for Homecoming Week
On Friday, September 20th, Greene County Schools will have a 2-hour early dismissal at ALL schools. This will provide our families the time to get their students to the parade and events that happen prior to our homecoming football game without the need to miss additional instruction or schoolwork.
Two Hour Early Dismissal times for all buildings are as follows:
Elementary - 1:25pm
Middle School - 1:30pm
High School - 1:23pm
Thank you for your partnership with our schools and we are looking forward to a successful 24-25 school year! Go Rams!

Athletic Practice Adjustments for 8/26
Due to the extreme heat MS practices will be as follows for Monday, August 26th:
MS Cross Country- No practice
MS Football- 7th and 8th Grade will do concussion baseline testing in Mr. Paulsen's room right after the early out. No practice after that.
MS Volleyball- As scheduled
This is a friendly reminder that we will be dismissing students at 1:30 p.m. every Monday to allow our staff to participate in professional development sessions.
Thank you for your cooperation and dedication to continuous learning!
Welcome Back, Students!
We're excited to see everyone tomorrow as we kick off another fantastic school year!
A few important reminders:
Arrival Time: Please arrive no earlier than 7:45 AM.
Normal Schedule: Tomorrow will be a normal school day, so make sure you're prepared for your classes.
7th Graders: All 7th-grade students should report to the auditorium for a special meeting to start the day.
All Other Students: Please go directly to the first class listed on your schedule.
Free Breakfast: Don't forget, free breakfast is available for all students!
We're looking forward to a great year filled with learning, growth, and positivity. Let's make it a wonderful start!
Friendly reminder that bus pick up and drop off times are approximate. It may take a week or two for drivers and riders to learn each other's routines.
A couple things to note:
Our Westwood bus stop location has been moved to Westwood & Rushridge (west loop). Since this is a late change, the town route bus driver will be mindful of students who may be waiting at the old Hickory stop for the first couple of days.
On "Monday-early-out" days your bus rider will be dropped off at their normal bus stop approximately 2 hours earlier. For example - if the normal bus drop off time is 4:23pm, the "early-out" drop off time will be approximately 2:23pm (two hours earlier).
Thank you in advance for your patience!
🚨 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 🚨
Home State Bank provided dinner for our staff last night as they prepared for open house. We were able to enjoy a “Ram Family meal” together before welcoming families into the building! We are always grateful for the love and support from our community!!
Good Morning Ram Families!
With the first day of school only a few days away, we wanted to share some very exciting news ahead of the 24-25 school year.
Greene County Community Schools will be offering FREE breakfast for ALL students in ALL schools EVERY single school day! Our schools were awarded this option through an application from the Department of Education and the Child Nutrition Program in the state of Iowa.
A huge thank you to our kitchen teams, student support personnel, and our business office for working through this application and ensuring that our students will have at least one free meal, every single day they are in school.
Have an awesome Tuesday and we cannot wait to see our students on Friday!
