CDC, Washington University & Greene County Health Department on Campus
 In our continued effort to help fight the spread of COVID19 we are working closely with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department on an exciting school-based project with Washington University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This project is a study of our COVID19 prevention strategies and quarantine/isolation procedures. These organizations are working with school all across Missouri to gain insight on best practices that can be shared with others across the nation. They will be onsite in our schools over the next few weeks. Participation in this project is completely voluntary! If your student tests positive for COVID19 or was exposed while at school, your student may be offered a free COVID19 saliva test (with parental consent) and asked to answer some questions that will assist us and our public health partners in knowing more about how to keep students safe in our schools during this pandemic.

FEBRUARY 4:
Last week we announced that Republic School District was one of only 23 other districts in the ENTIRE NATION to be named a Solution Tree INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY MODEL DISTRICT! We are incredibly #repmoproud of this accolade, but more importantly of the work that goes on EVERY SINGLE DAY to help move our students forward in their learning! KOLR10 put together this story that helps explain this accolade and what our district model looks like each day as we work to answer and address these questions...
1. What do we want students to know?
2. How do we know when they know it?
3. What do we do if they don't know it?
4. What will we do if they already know it?
FEBRUARY 7:
The winter coats hung on the fences of our elementary buildings during recess are surely a sign that spring is on the way! Maybe that groundhog was wrong?! Regardless, we loved the beautiful weather today! #repmoproud
FEBRUARY 2:
HAPPY 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL, REPMO! We had a great time today celebrating this school year milestone! #repmoproud
 FEBRUARY 1: It's National School Counseling Week! In true fashion, our counselors generally spend this week supporting others in promoting kindness, goal setting, career or college aspirations along with mental health. However, we'd like for them to be on the receiving end. Will you please join us in sharing some "love" by posting a kind message in the comments for our counseling team? These individuals go above and beyond each day to meet the needs of our students and employees. They are an integral part of what we do, and we are SUPER thankful for them! #repmoproud
JANUARY 28: Goal setting & achieving is what we're all about! These Sweeny students have been working hard to track & update their scoreboards for their academic WIGs (Wildly Important Goals)! Each student has a wildly important reading goal that they are trying to meet by 2/5. #repmoproud
  JANUARY 28: Congratulations to senior, Drew McMillin. He had a BIG night on the basketball court scoring 61 POINTS, which beats the RHS record for points scored in a game...AND he tied the STATE record by scoring 16 3-POINTERS! Way to go, Drew!!!! In addition, the team got a nice win against Camdenton and will advance in the Bolivar Tournament. Here's a post game video of him with Republic Tiger Sports. #repmoproud
