The Republic School District has encountered a power outage this morning. We have a call out to the PUD regarding the matter. Students who are arriving will be sent to the gym. Due to the fact of the late discovery and students arriving on campus, we will prepare our families for possibly cancelling school and returning students home within the hour. All absences will be excused today as we navigate this issue.

Our first informational forum is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6:00 PM at the Keller Community Center: Are you wondering what a 4-day school week might mean for Republic students or students who might attend the Republic School District in the future? If so, please plan on attending 1 of the 2 scheduled community forum events in October ...October 22, 2024 at 6:00 PM at the Keller Community Center or October 29, 2024 at the Republic Elementary Cafeteria at 6:00 PM. Please note that these events are for informational purposes only and will serve as feedback in the planning pocess.

Miss Sage's 3rd-grade class recently visited Swan Lake for a day of learning and exploring. The students went on a scavenger hunt to find different types of cones and leaves, learned about the composition of good soil, and discovered how to differentiate between a stone flake and a stone tool. A big thank you goes to United States Forest Service employees Eric Burres, Stuart Chilvers, Garret Toombs, and Lindsey Huddleston for spending the day teaching and inspiring the students of Republic Elementary.








It has come to our attention that an election type pamphlet or material related to candidates in the upcoming election was left on windshields of cars in the school parking lot. This is not allowed as per school board policy 4400, which states the following: The district, as part of its mission to educate and instill civic responsibility, will assure that the community is appropriately informed about district and education related ballot measures through objective and fair presentations of the facts related to those measures. However, public facilities will not be used to assist in any candidate’s campaign or to support or oppose any ballot measure. We will pursue actions against those who violate this policy, which may include legal action or trespassing individuals or groups off campus. We encourage the public to attend events and respect the privacy of those who utilize our campus for pre-approved activities.

So much creativity was celebrated on Dot Day! Inspired by the story of The Dot, K-5 students were challenged to create artwork using dots. A lot of imagination and effort went into making these beautiful art pieces!
"The Dot" is a story about a caring teacher who challenges a skeptical student to believe in her abilities by having the courage to "make her mark." Starting with a small dot on a piece of paper, this boosts confidence and bravery, sparking a journey of self-discovery and sharing that has motivated numerous children and adults worldwide.


Mrs. Starr's and Miss Bushnell's classes had a wonderful day at the Ferry County Conservation District's greenhouse property, enjoying the beauty of the fall day. The students spent the day learning about different leaf shapes and how seeds are dispersed by wind and animals. The highlight of the day was observing a working beehive and learning about the process of honey production and collection. A big thank you to Dave Hedrick, McKenzie Hildebrandt, Julian Amyx , and the Ferry County Conservation District for their ongoing support of the ROAR program and the students of Republic School District.

Mrs. Campbell's 1st-grade class visited Cait's Crates in Tonasket to take a tour of their orchard and warehouse. During the visit, the students learned about the growing cycles of apple and pear trees, as well as how apple farmers test the apples to determine if they are ready for harvest. The ROAR program would like to thank Kait Thornton for sharing her passion for farming and her dedication to educating children about how their food goes from the farm to the table.
