As we wrap up National School Bus Safety Week, we'd like to share pictures from this week's bus evacuation drills at McCulloch Elementary School! Every K-6th grade student across the district participates in one of these drills every October and again in the spring. Our Transportation Department uses these opportunities to meet students, share bus safety information with them and practice evacuating a bus in an emergency. #RepMOProud

SOCKTOBER is in full swing! Join us in collecting socks throughout October for local philanthropic groups, including our own Price Tag and Locker 518 free clothing stores.

In response to a survey in early 2023, our district added 10 minutes to the end of each school day, which allowed us to incorporate a four-day Fall Break into our school year calendar!

Missed learning has an effect on student achievement. Republic High School students with higher attendance rates, also had higher Grade Point Averages. As shown in the graph, as attendance rates decline, so do GPAs. In addition, we know that most students who graduate from RHS continue their education or transition directly into the workforce. Regardless of their path after graduation, attendance will be vital. As we encourage strong attendance for middle and high school students, we support their development of good habits for whatever their future holds.
