District Launches Free Mobile App

The Republic School District is excited to announce the launch of its free mobile app! To download, simply search for “Republic School District” in your app store. This free app has been designed to provide our patrons with a quick and easy resource for the most sought after information distributed by the district. 

 

Upon downloading, you will be asked to set-up the app for your personal preferences. During this process you can tap to select the schools for which you’d like to receive information. At any time you can update your preferences in the app’s settings. Specifically, the calendar, announcements and notification areas will be customized to your school settings. Keep in mind the notification area will be used very minimally as we will continue to utilize the current text and voice calling system in place.

 

We look forward to communicating with you through this tool!
