Please enjoy your Thanksgiving Break. However, please be mindful of your actions during break. The health-related decisions we choose over the next few days will determine our ability to return to seated learning. Therefore, please mask and stay diligent in social distancing!
Virtual Learning/Phase 3 November 20-December 2 Please CLICK HERE for an important announcement regarding a short-term movement to virtual learning/phase 3 of the RepMO Return to Learn plan starting Friday, November 20.
The Springfield-Greene County Health Department has released information in regards to schools implementing modified quarantines. This allows students to continue attending school after a properly masked, low-risk exposure to COVID19. In response, the Republic School District now requires all students in kindergarten and older in addition to all adults to wear masks while on campus or on our buses.
CLICK HERE for details on how this will impact Republic students.
As we move to virtual learning/phase 3 for a short time starting November 20, we are preparing to distribute school Chromebooks to elementary and EC students on November 19. Students can only take home a Chromebook if they have the "PK-5th Grade Student Technology Plan" form on file at school. If you haven't yet, please make sure your student has this form on file. A link to it can be found below.
All secondary students will continue to use their school issued Chromebook like usual.

At the November 19 Board of Education meeting the Board approved a recommended adjustment to the 2020-21 school calendar by district administration. They voted to remove snow make-up days from Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day and Good Friday. The Board completely agreed that reserving these as holidays will provide a guaranteed break for rest, deep cleaning of our facilities and simply being apart from one another to help slow the spread of COVID19.
For those who have recently been placed on quarantine or who will possibly be in the future, we wanted to share some important information. As you are probably aware, those who are directly exposed at school to a positive COVID19 case are contacted by an individual phone call. Due to the increased number of positive cases and the number of administrators available across the district to make these individual phone calls, Springfield-Greene County Health Department has begun stepping in to assist the district with these calls. The Health Department utilizes a third party company called Maximus to complete these quarantine calls. Therefore, should your student need to quarantine you will be contacted by either a school administrator or a Maximus employee on behalf of Springfield-Greene County Health Department. The call from Maximus will be from a 314 area code phone number.
Winter weather season is quickly approaching! The Republic School District will continue with the "snow day policy" we have utilized for the last few years. Should winter weather and/or poor road conditions impact our ability to have school in person, we will implement a snow day like we have done in the past.
Positions Needed: PLEASE SHARE!We are in need of substitute teachers and bus drivers. Please share the below information with anyone you feel would be a good fit! Please share!

The Republic School District has developed a three phased plan with health-related protocols to address COVID19. This plan was created in conjunction with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The protocols are based on best practices from schools and businesses around the globe and recommendations from DESE and our community. They are subject to change moving forward.
FREE Breakfast & Lunch for ALL StudentsEXCITING NEWS! The Republic School District has received a USDA waiver allowing us to provide ALL STUDENTS FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH!!! This program is expected to continue through the end of the school year or until funds run out. We are grateful to be able to offer this to our families!
Take note: A la carte items at RMS & RHS are not included in this promotion, so those items will still be charged to student accounts.
Each day we are asking families to do a wellness check of all students before they come to school. Employees will be doing this as well. Following these guidelines will help everyone stay healthy!
Below are the signs you will see on the entrances of our facilities. Keep in mind, only essential visitors will be allowed and must follow these protocols.
