Price Elementary

At Republic Schools, our mission is to prepare each student for future excellence through a safe educational environment. That mission drives every decision we make. 🧡

On Friday, we sent a message to all families and staff with back to school safety reminders and a note from Superintendent Dr. Matt Pearce. It includes:
✅ Safety measures in place across the district
✅ Information about our School Police team
✅ Tips for important conversations at home
✅ Reminders about reporting concerns
...and more!

Let’s work together to make 2025–2026 a safe school year for every Tiger. #RepMOProud 🐅

Every student in kindergarten through 12th grades will be assigned a Chromebook. Students are responsible for the care of their assigned device at all times, both at school and at home. The district strongly encourages families to purchase an Accidental Damage Protection Plan (ADPP), as explained in the online form on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Students will not be allowed to use school technology resources until the appropriate online form has been completed.

To purchase ADPP, visit republicschools.org/backtoschool. Payment can also be made in building offices.

The deadline to purchase is August 29. Take note that any damage that occurs without ADPP payment will incur the full cost for repairs or replacement of the device.

Bus stop details are now available! 🚌

If you selected bus transportation during online registration, you can now find your student's bus stop location and time by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and clicking "More," then "Transportation."

📍 Shuttle bus procedures (for RIS and RHS students) are posted here: republicschools.org/transportation

📧 Don’t see bus information? Email transportation.info@republicschools.org. (If you registered after the August 6 registration deadline, these details may take longer to appear in the Parent Portal.)

🔄 Bus stop locations and times may be adjusted as students are continually added to routes. Check the day before school starts for the latest updates.

⏱ Times are approximate. If a bus is running 15+ minutes early or late, we'll send a text to let you know.

The first day of school is just a few days away! The 2025-2026 school year officially starts on Tuesday, August 19! 📚🧡

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Career Night on Thursday! Our students, staff, and families had an incredible time exploring a variety of career pathways in Business Management and Technology, Industrial & Engineering Technology, ARts and Communication, Health Service, and Public Service. A huge shoutout to CrossFit Republic, Brew 21, the Green County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit, Republic Fire Department, Cox Health Helicopter Division, and Eden’s Rescue for sharing your time, expertise, and passion with us.

Mrs. Paschke’s students studied change and states of matter recently. They also learned about the energy from the Sun and how it affects different objects. Students completed their unit with an experiment, testing what melts in the Sun!

Yesterday was a big day for 4th and 5th graders in music! Congrats to Jack Williams and Aida Dorsey! They are the first students to earn a black belt in music class today for playing through their Recorder Karate packets. They have worked so hard learning how to read treble clef! We are so proud of our Price musicians!

Price Honor Choir students visited RHS to watch the women’s chamber choir rehearse as they get ready for their concert coming up. Afterwards, students sang several songs for the high schoolers and experience singing in the high school choir room. Ms Kacie even ran into her former choir teacher at Republic High School too!

This week, students and teachers came together to celebrate the love of reading with our "Stop, Drop, and Read" event! For 15 minutes, our entire school paused what they were doing to immerse themselves in the magic of a good book!

Price students made sure to have a little fun after completing their school work during our AMI days! We can't wait to see everyone back in the building next week!

Meet our incredible Reading Specialists! They are true experts in their field—patient, encouraging, and kind, with enormous hearts for both kids and literacy. Every day, they help our students build confidence, unlock the magic of reading, and develop a lifelong love for learning.

We are beyond excited to have these dedicated educators as our 3rd grade team at Price Elementary! They make learning come alive every day. With compassion, accountability, and a commitment to high standards, they inspire our students to reach new heights.

Guests from Republic High School visited a group of Price students to read a bilingual children's book they wrote!

4th grade students in Ms. Feeler's class worked hard practicing the long and demanding process of long division today! Their perseverance and grit truly shined through as they tackled each problem with determination. These future world-changers are well on their way to becoming great mathematicians!

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on our incredible Kindergarten team! Their passion, creativity, and dedication make a world of difference in our little ones' lives. From imaginative storytelling to hands-on learning activities, they nurture curiosity and joy in every child. Thank you for laying the foundation for a love of learning and creating a safe, welcoming environment for all!

Price families, due to a building event this week, we will be unable to accept visitors for lunch on Friday. Have a great week!
