  • The Early Childhood Center is a Peanut Free and Latex Aware Campus 

    Please be reminded products containing peanuts or made with latex are not allowed at EC.  Please check all labels to ensure that the product has not been manufactured in a facility that has peanuts or does not contain latex. Because allergies can be life-threatening, we are asking for each family's support in checking their child's belongings for peanut products or items with latex before sending them to school. We thank you in advance for your precaution and respect in helping us to keep our school safe for all.

  • Online Back to School Registration Coming July 22!

    b2s

    One really important element for the 2019-20 school year is that nearly all back to school forms will need to be completed online through the SISK12 Parent Portal. As a reminder, the Parent Portal is a tool that parents can use to monitor items like meal balances, grades, attendance, etc. We recommend using it throughout the school year!

    Now, this tool will be used to make the back to school form process much easier and smoother for our families. Please login to the Parent Portal and complete the needed forms beginning July 22. High school students will need to have this completed by August 1 in order to participate in the Parking Permit Pick-Up, and elementary and RMS students should have this completed by the first day of school, August 15. All kindergarten through 12th grade students must have a parent/guardian complete these required forms. Take note that specific forms must be completed for students to participate in various activities, including technology usage.

    We invite you to take time now to make sure you can access Parent Portal and to update any outdated information listed.
     
    To find the Parent Portal simply visit republicschools.org and click on the "Parent Portal" icon. This can also be accessed through the district's free mobile app. As a reminder, to login use the email address you have provided to the district and enter the password you have created. If you’ve forgotten it, simply click on the “forgot password” button and follow the prompts.
     
    TAKE NOTE: Do not choose "Register New Family" if your student has attended Republic School District in the past or is registered to attend kindergarten for the 2019-20 school year. This option is for new to Republic families only.
     
    Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping us transition to online back to school registration!

  • smart snacks Celebrating Birthdays at School with Smart Snacks

    Celebrating birthdays at school is certainly fun and memorable for our students. All students have an opportunity to celebrate by sending trinkets or treats to share. Due to district policy, if treats are brought in they must be on the USDA Smart Snacks list and also must be store-bought and sealed. There are many delicious, fun and healthy approved items including cookies, puddings, snack crackers, fruit snacks and ice cream treats. Additional details can be found at https://www.republicschools.org/healthservices. While this is a change from previous years, only allowing snacks from this list to be brought into classrooms will assist in making sure we are able to meet student allergy needs along with providing healthy snacks for students as birthdays and celebrations are a regular occurrence.

  • Roundabout Construction & Impact to RHS Entrances

    Construction of the roundabout on M Highway near the north entrance of Republic High School has begun. MoDOT has informed the district that beginning at 9:00 a.m. on May 29 M Highway will CLOSE to all traffic between ZZ Highway and a point just east of Farm Road 103. This area will remain closed until the completion of the roundabout, which we are told will be by August 9 (prior to the 2019-20 school year).
     
    Between May 29 and August 9 the only functioning entrance to RHS will be from ZZ Highway. This means all summer traffic will need to access RHS using the ZZ Highway entrance. 
     
    As the 2019-20 school year approaches the Republic School District will be working with MoDOT to distribute educational materials to students, employees and the community at large in regards to traffic behaviors needed to navigate the roundabout. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this construction.

  • Change in MSHSAA Physical Exam Requirement

    MSHSAA recently changed their requirement for student physicals required for activity/athletic participation. In the past those were to be completed annually. However, effective immediately, physicals are now valid for 2 years (730 days) from the date of issue. Therefore, physicals from this current school year will still be valid for the 2019-20 school year. 
     
    Take note, medical history, student agreement, parent consent, proof of insurance, concussion education and emergency contact sections of the Pre-Participation Evaluation will still need to be updated and completed by parent and students annually, prior to participation.
