Family Survey Closes November 9

REMINDER: If you haven't completed the family survey yet, we welcome your input! The survey will close at midnight tomorrow, November 9.


Republic School District invites parents and guardians of our students to please complete the short, 5 minute survey found HERE by TOMORROW, November 9. Your feedback allows us to see at what level we are meeting the needs of our students, families and community at large. Please complete one survey per student in your household.


Throughout November we’ll also be gathering feedback from our 4th-12th grade students and employees. Preparing each student for future excellence through a safe educational environment is our mission, and the information gathered through these surveys provides us a measure to see how well we are achieving this goal. Thank you in advance for your participation!
