First quarter was a huge success here at McCulloch! Over the last couple of months we saw students meeting academic, attendance, and behavioral goals along with personal and leadership goals. We are amazed at what our students can do when they begin with the end in mind! We will continue to set goals and celebrate success throughout the year! Take a minute to ask your child about their math fact goal (or letter goal in kindergarten) and the strategies they have in place to help them meet those goals!

Republic Schools Patron Survey
Republic School District invites parents of our students to complete the short survey found at the link below. Your feedback allows us to see at what level we are meeting the needs of our students, families and community at large. Preparing each student for a successful future is our mission, and the information gathered through this survey provides us a measure to see how well we are achieving this goal.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is open October 18-28. Thank you in advance!

Gallup Student Poll
During the month of October students in 5th-12th grades in our district will be taking a survey called the Gallup Student Poll. This survey should take about 15 minutes to complete, and its 24 questions will provide us with feedback on student:
Engagement - the involvement in and enthusiasm for school
Hope - the ideas and energy students have for the future
Entrepreneurial Aspiration - the talent and energy necessary to build businesses that survive, thrive and employ others
Financial/Career Literacy - the information, attitudes and behaviors that students need for healthy participation in the economy
This web-based survey will give us actionable data that we can use to help meet the needs of our students.
Together may we give our children the roots to grow
and the wings to fly.
