A Message from Superintendent Dr. Andrea Whitmarsh:

Dear Greene County Families and Community Members,

I am writing to let you know that I plan to retire as your Superintendent on April 1, 2027. By that time, I will have spent almost 14 years as Superintendent and nearly 24 years working in our school district.

Serving our students, families, and community has been the greatest honor of my career. From day one, this was the only district I wanted to lead. My goal has always been simple: to invest in our future and give every single child the best chances to succeed.

The best part of Greene County Public Schools has always been our people. Over the years, I have been lucky to work with dedicated educators and leaders who care deeply for our kids and supportive families and neighbors who partner with us every day. Together, we built a place where students can thrive, solve tough problems, and focus on what matters most.

While I am proud of what we have done, our work is not finished yet. Between now and April 1, my focus will stay right where it belongs: on our students, our schools, and helping the district get ready for a smooth leadership change.

I trust this community, and I know our School Board will find the right person to lead us next. Most of all, I believe in the wonderful staff and families who make our schools shine each day.

Thank you for your support, your partnership, and your care for the children of Greene County.

— Andrea Whitmarsh
Superintendent, Greene County Public Schools

Now that the school year is in full swing, it’s a great time to check in on your child’s academic progress! PowerSchool Parent Portal gives parents and guardians easy access to current grades, assignments, attendance, and more.

If you haven’t set up your Parent Portal account yet, contact your child’s school to receive the unique access code needed to connect your account to your student. Make sure you are accessing the GCPS Parent Portal by visiting this URL: https://greene.powerschool.com/public/home.html

Once connected, checking PowerSchool regularly is a simple way to stay informed, celebrate successes, and identify areas where your child may need additional support.

👀 I spy a GCPS alumni!

We love seeing our former students out in the world building careers, breaking barriers, and making an impact!

At Greene County Public Schools, our commitment to 3E — Enrolled, Enlisted, or Employed — is about more than preparing students for what comes after graduation. It’s about cultivating the Future Ready Skills they’ll carry with them wherever their path leads.

Seeing a GCPS graduate recognized for her talent, determination, and leadership in the skilled trades is exactly what Future Ready looks like in action.

The skills and experiences developed in our classrooms, CTE programs, and school community are meant to become the foundation for a lifetime of opportunity.

We are incredibly proud to see our alumni out in the world, building their futures and making their dreams a reality. 👏

On Women’s Equality Day, we’re proud to recognize the women who continue to make their mark across the skilled trades and construction industry.

Their talent, determination, and leadership help move our industry forward, and we’re proud to support the women building careers, breaking barriers, and making an impact at RBI and beyond.

Thank you for all that you bring to the work, the team, and the industry.

At Greene County Public Schools, strong communication between our schools and families is an important part of supporting student success. When a question, concern, or issue comes up, knowing where to start can help you get the information and assistance you need as quickly as possible.

We encourage families to follow our Flow of Communication:

1️⃣ Start with your child’s classroom teacher. Teachers are closest to your student’s day-to-day experience and are often the best source of information about academics, behavior, assignments, and classroom routines.
2️⃣ Contact the Assistant Principal. If your concern remains unresolved or involves student discipline, behavior, or a broader classroom issue, your school’s assistant principal is ready to help.
3️⃣ Contact the Principal. School principals can assist with concerns that require additional review, school-wide leadership, or further support at the building level.
4️⃣ Contact the Central Office. If additional assistance is needed after working through the school-level process, our division staff is available to help address remaining concerns and provide clarification or support.

Following this process helps ensure that the person closest to the situation has the first opportunity to help, often leading to quicker answers and more effective solutions. It also helps us build strong, respectful partnerships between our families, teachers, schools, and division.
