Preparing Each Student for a Successful Future

As a reminder, the Staff Communicator will be distributed each Thursday that we are in session, and two summer issues are also distributed. Archived copies can be found on the "Communications Department" web page. 
Employee Survey Open Through 11/16
We've asked students along with parents for their input...now it's time to hear from our  employee team! As in years past, we are asking for approximately 10 minutes of your time to complete a  survey. This year the  employee  survey has been broken up into certified and classified in an effort to gather more targeted feedback to better meet the needs of all  employees. 

Because there are two surveys this year, please be sure to select the correct link and complete the appropriate survey that coincides with your position in the district. Please pay close attention to the directions at the top of the survey, and also reference the email sent by your building principal or department director for further instructions. 
These surveys will be open November 7-16 at midnight. Thank you in advance!

Shop With A Hero Fundraiser
Each year the Republic Police Department hosts Shop with a Hero to provide approximately 120 Republic students an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping alongside a "hero." That event will take place at 5:30 p.m. on December 11 at the Republic Walmart. 

They are currently fundraising in an effort to collect enough money for each child to have at least $80 to spend. For any employee who would like to contribute, you can drop off cash or Walmart gift cards to any building office secretary between now and December 4.
