Republic School District #309 is currently accepting applications for a Paraeducator for the 2020-2021 school year. This position will remain open until filled. Please visit our website for more information. https://www.republic309.org/o/rsd/page/employment-opportunities--642

School will be operating on Wednesday 9/16/20. Tri County health has given guidance to not close schools due to wildfire smoke, but to keep students indoors and limit all physical activity. Of course parents may choose to keep their students home (we can send make up work and the absence will be excused).

New! Republic School District will remain closed on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 due to poor air quality. Thank you and stay safe!

Due to poor air quality school will be closed tomorrow.

Republic Bus Riders: It has long been the practice for students or parents to bring a note to the office so they can ride a different bus than “normal” to attend different social events or meet the needs of families. At this time we need to limit that activity. Our bus drivers are working hard to keep seating charts, keep physical distancing as much as possible, and follow all of the guidance we’ve been given. We do understand everyone’s situation is different. If a child has two different residences or sometimes goes to daycare after school and sometimes to their house we will certainly work with you to make that happen. What we cannot do right now is have your son/daughter ride a different bus just to go to a birthday party or go play at someone else’s house. Thank you for your understanding as we’re doing our best to have in-person learning happening in the Republic School District.

September 8, 2020 Dear Families: We have had a great start to the school year and want to thank you in advance for ensuring that students are healthy and well when they come to school. In order to avoid sending students home if they have a temperature of 100.4 or above OR if they have other identified COVID 19 symptoms, please keep students home if they are sick. We are required to follow all Northeast Tri-County health guidelines and thank you in advance for keeping children home if they are sick. If you have any questions about our reopening plan or our health screenings at school, please contact me, Jeannette Bauer, School Nurse, or Kevin Young, Superintendent. Thank you again, we look forward to serving your children with an amazing school year! Most Sincerely, Carolann Gutierrez (Mrs. G)

Republic online students: We apologize for delays and lack of communication. We will be reaching out to all K-5 students today with an update and schoolwork. Please also check your school email at least twice a day. Josh Zakar is working with grades 6-12 and Diane Larson is working with K-5 students. Please trust we're doing the best we can, and I recognize we need to do better. Kevin

We have created a Frequently Asked Questions list for the start of school on our website. Be sure to visit to get most of your questions answered as to what the start of the school year will look like for your kids.
