The Republic School Police team has started conducting routine safety drills with students and staff, including fire, weather and intruder drills. These drills give us the chance to practice emergency procedures so we’re prepared in the event of an urgent situation.
During an intruder drill, the school is placed in a temporary lockdown. While this is only a drill, families will receive a text message at the start of the lockdown so they are aware.
Please remind your student that these drills are important and should be taken seriously. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools safe.

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.
