Board of Education Appreciation Week
Each and every day we are thankful for our Board of Education and their continued support and dedication to our students, employees and community. These members give countless hours of their personal time to invest in our school district. Throughout this week in particular we get to showcase our appreciation for these individuals as it is Missouri School Board Appreciation Week! To our Board...THANK YOU for ALL you do! #repmoproud

Val entine's Bus Rider Expectations
Many of our students will receive Valentine's gifts at school today. Throughout this week we've been reminding our families of our bus rider expectations that are put in place to keep everyone safe while riding to and from school each day. Here's a link to those expectations: https://www.republicschools.org/Page/1207. Items 21-23 relate to items that students may receive at school for this holiday. Should you have questions, please contact the Transportation Facility at 732-3680. Thank you in advance for your help!
American Heart Month
The Republic School District is a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. February is American Heart month. Below are some good tips to keep in mind! What are you doing today to be heart healthy? 

Preschool Enrollment March 28
Republic Early Childhood Center will register preschool students for the 2019-2020 school year on Saturday, March 28, 2020 at the Early Childhood Center.

Registration time is 8:30-10:30am for all class options.

Registration is first-come, first-served. There is a $30 non-refundable registration fee required to secure a spot in the program (cash, check, or money order-no credit cards accepted). Registration will continue until all spots are filled.

We are still finalizing class options and details but we wanted to communicate the date now so families can plan ahead.

We will send out class options and details once all are in place and finalized for the 2020-2021 school year. We hope to have this completed by March 1st.
Employee Children Enrollment Information
Employees who...
reside outside of the Republic School District (non-resident) boundary that would like to enroll their student(s) in our district. A new form needs to be submitted every school year.

OR

live within the Republic School District boundary, but desire their student(s) to attend an elementary site other than the building boundary in which you live. A new form needs to be submitted every school year.
