Republic High School

The FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for Republic students is TOMORROW, August 19! Please check bus stop information in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal tonight and be cautious driving in the morning. We can't wait to see you!

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."

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