Republic School District Families and Employees,

We have been notified of three new COVID19 cases in our district: an RMS employee, an RMS student and a Lyon student.
  • The employee was on campus and considered contagious Thursday, September 10. However, this individual was not in contact with students so there is not a need to quarantine any of our kids. Any impacted employees have already been contacted individually to quarantine.
  • Neither of the students were on campus when contagious so therefore no district students or employees are at risk of exposure from these two positive cases.

Please join me in wishing these individuals a speedy recovery!

As a reminder, exposure notifications will be distributed each evening (and at the completion of the weekend) that there is a positive case in our district. Also, we want to take this opportunity to remind our patrons about the rules we are required to follow per the CDC and Springfield-Greene County Health Department in regards to isolation and quarantine situations using the graphic below. In addition, details and example scenarios can be found on the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html.
Information in regards to the district's response to COVID19 (including a weekly case tracker) can be found at https://www.republicschools.org/healthupdates. Thank you for your support and flexibility as we navigate this time.
