A few upcoming items to note! Additional information will be included in the daily announcements.
Good Evening,
The Germantown School District is proactively monitoring the weather and will receive updates from the National Weather Service this evening and early tomorrow morning. No decision on the closure of buildings for Friday, March 22, has been made.
Please prepare a plan that meets your family's needs, as a decision to close may be delayed to 5:00 a.m. tomorrow. If you want to keep your child(ren) home on Friday due to the weather, please contact your child’s school to report the excused absence.
If schools are open on Friday and your child rides a bus, please know that the bus pick up and drop off might be delayed because of weather conditions.
If closure occurs to ensure the safety of the students and staff, notification will be sent via phone, email, social media, website, and local television stations. No notification will be made if schools remain open and are operating regularly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Reuter
District Administrator

Join us in celebrating School Social Work Week with heartfelt gratitude for these two incredible individuals! Their personalities are as bright as their smiles, and we are immensely thankful for all they do to positively impact those of Germantown School District.
School social workers partner with students and families seeking assistance on matters such as advocacy, attendance, community resource referrals, counseling, economic support (food, healthcare, housing), parenting support, special education services, and suicide prevention. Mrs. Hennekens serves MacArthur, Rockfield, and Kennedy Middle School. Ms. Kaebisch serves Amy Belle, County Line, and Germantown High School.
If you happen to see them during conferences, make sure to say hello!
If you would like to order GHS apparel, now is the time!
Orders must be placed by 11:59 PM on March 17. Most likely, this will be the final opportunity for the 2023-24 school year, but we plan to bring this back in advance of the 2024-25 school year as well.
Deliveries to GHS will occur the week of April 8. Customers will be notified by Master Printwear via email when the orders are ready, and then they can be picked up between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM at the GHS Main Office.
