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 Surveys Open Now!
We've asked 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. The best way to gather targeted feedback to meet the needs of all employees is to distribute three different surveys:

  • Certified employee survey
  • Classified employee survey (for all classified staff EXCEPT for food service & custodial)
  • Food service and custodial employee survey (created because these 2 departments have an additional layer of management that other departments do not have.)
Because there are three 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.

These surveys will be open November 6-17 at midnight and are 100% anonymous. Thank you in advance!

HR Portal Only Available On District Network
REMINDER: The district SISFin Portal (HR information, requisition portal, etc.) is being replaced due to hardware age. Therefore, we will not have access to this portal on computers/devices outside of the district network until this is updated. However, it will still be accessible while on campus only using the following link: http://sishr.srv.rsd/hrportal. Once the replacement is complete, off-site access will be restored.
Shop with a Hero Jeans Days
Each year approximately 120 Republic students have the opportunity to "Shop with a Hero" thanks to the Republic Police Department, Republic Fire Department and many other local emergency personnel. Because of donor funds these students in need will get to choose holiday gift items with their "hero." This year that event will take place on December 10 at our local Walmart. We'd like to provide an opportunity to you to donate to this awesome cause by participating in a jeans day available every Tuesday between November 12 and December 3.  Simply bring any donation amount you would like to your school/department office to participate. Employees can do one donation up front or donate each week.
