Illness Prevention
This flu season has been particularly rough. As a reminder, the flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. It can be spread from person-to-person through the air by coughing or sneezing or by touching an infected surface and carrying it to your nose or mouth. Check out the graphic for symptoms. We've also been hit by a stomach virus making its rounds throughout the district.
Those experiencing flu-like or other symptoms should stay home from school and work until at least 24 hours after they no longer have fever without the use of medicine. We recommend consulting with a doctor and making sure those not feeling well get plenty of rest and fluids.
Please help us encourage hand washing and other preventative actions. Washing coats, backpacks and lunch boxes is also suggested.

 Valentine's Day Bus Rider Reminders
As Valentine's Day approaches we thought it would be a good idea to remind 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.
We ask that you pay close attention to items 21-23 as they may relate to items that students m
ay 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!

Two Air Force Junior ROTC cadets at Republic High School, Cadet Noah Tattershall and Cadet Nathanyal Hanson, both Juniors, have received a scholarship to attend an accredited aviation university participating in a private pilot license training program in the summer of 2020. Cadet Jonathan Willis, Junior, was selected as an Alternate. The scholarship is valued at approximately $20,000.
These two cadets are two of 200 Air Force Junior ROTC cadets around the world to receive th
e scholarship from Headquarters Air Force Junior ROTC, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama. More than 3,000 cadets applied for one of the 200 scholarships. There are more than 120,000 high school students enrolled in Air Force Junior ROTC at almost 900 high schools in the U.S and overseas.
Applicants had to be Air Force Junior ROTC cadets, at least 16 years of age, and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale.
Applicants had to complete an online aviation qualification (AQT) test comprised of 5 sub-tests, which includes the following: 1) math, 2) table reading, 3) aviation information, 4) instrument comprehension, and 5) weight perception.
The scholarship covers transportation, room and board, academics and flight hours required to potentially earn a private pilot license. The Flight Academy Scholarship Program is an Air Force-level initiative in collaboration with the commercial aviation industry to address the national civilian and military pilot shortage.
Those who participate in the program do not incur a military commitment to the Air Force or other branch of service.
