Join Us In Celebrating #TeacherProud 

Tuesday!

It’s TEACHER PROUD TUESDAY! The Republic School District is excited to join other school districts across the region in celebrating teachers on the second Tuesday of each month. This year, on each Teacher Proud Tuesday, our STUDENTS will introduce you to the educators they look up to!


Click the video below to watch our district's Teacher Proud Tuesday video for October. You'll hear from Leighton Riffe, Kennedy Prevo and Micah Shelton from Price Elementary. Listen as they share why they think their teachers are the best!


We encourage YOU to participate in Teacher Proud Tuesdays by sharing how a teacher has impacted your life or the life of your student(s) on your personal social media pages! You can also comment on our district's Facebook post to share a story about a teacher who has made a difference!

Jordan Valley School-Based Care 

At the Republic School District, we are grateful for our continued school-based health clinic partnership with Jordan Valley Health!

Jordan Valley's mobile unit will continue well-child checks on the second Monday of every month throughout the school year on school campuses. See the graphic for additional dates.


In addition, our school nurses can coordinate with Jordan Valley Health to set up a virtual visit during the school day with a Jordan Valley doctor or nurse practitioner for any student that is sick and needs to be seen by a practitioner for the following illnesses: strep throat, ear infection, sinus infection, rash, pink eye, stomach flu, bug bites, lice and congestion. The student will be able to return to class OR they will be given a diagnosis and will be ready to go home. If necessary, the provider will call in a prescription to the patient's pharmacy for them to pay for and pick-up.


This partnership is made possible primarily by funds provided by Jordan Valley Health Centers. Beyond office space for the on-site community health worker, this program has no other financial obligations for the district. Parents will never receive a bill for care. If the patient has insurance, that insurance will receive the bill. If the patient does not have insurance, Jordan Valley Health Center covers the cost of the visit and patients only have to pay for prescriptions, when needed.


This service will be optional, but available to all students. Registration forms will need to be completed before students can be seen. You can print a form and return it to school here. We're excited and thankful for this opportunity to partner with Jordan Valley Health Center!
