Republic School District #309 is aware of an increase in student absences today due to illness. We are working closely with Tri-County Health to monitor the situation and follow appropriate guidance.
As a reminder, families are encouraged to review the attached Tri-County Health handout regarding communicable diseases, including guidance on symptoms and when students should stay home from school. We will continue to monitor the situation and share any important updates with families as needed.
Friday 5/29 is a student and staff make-up day from a power outage earlier in the year. This will be an early release day at 11:15 and lunch will not be provided as a result.

K-4 Spring Concert this Thursday!
Ms. King's and Mrs. Painter's Kindergarten class enjoyed the beautiful weather and spent a day at K Diamond K Guest Ranch. Students spent the day at the ranch's petting zoo, learning how to care for and treat baby animals. Students were able to see a baby chick that was born just hours earlier, and they even enjoyed running through a giant sprinkler. The ROAR program thanks Kathy McKay for her hospitality and for the memorable experience for our Kindergarten class.
Tomorrow your Lady Tigers will take on Wilbur Creston at 12 pm at the Chewelah High School ball fields. This will be a cashless gate so be sure to purchase your tickets from GoFan. Here is the link:

Republic High School is incredibly grateful to have hosted another successful Career Fair! With over 35 vendors traveling from near and far, we were able to offer our students exposure to a wide range of opportunities—from local trades to careers in larger communities.
We were also fortunate to welcome representatives from various schools, giving our students the chance to explore educational pathways and discuss their future goals. One of our vendors even traveled all the way from Idaho to share the importance of community service and make a meaningful impact on our students.
Thank you to all of our vendors for investing your time, knowledge, and energy into our students. Your support and dedication truly mean so much to our school community.

Republic School District would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community for supporting our students in this year’s Earth Day project. It truly was an all-hands-on-deck effort, and we are so grateful for the generosity and support that made it possible.
Our K–12 students participated in a variety of projects throughout the day:
K–3 students planted wildflowers and vegetables, picked up trash around the school, and painted rocks for our rock garden.
4th–5th-grade students planted wildflowers, painted rocks, picked up trash, and pulled weeds.
6th–8th grade students cleaned up the Tiger Trail all the way to Chevron.
9th-grade students made a huge impact at the dump, collecting over 200 pounds of trash.
Sophomore students worked at the fairgrounds completing landscaping projects, moving heavy materials, and scrubbing floors.
Junior students helped clean up our city park and continued picking up trash along their walk back to school.
Senior students partnered with 4th- and 5th-graders to build our new outdoor garden space—pulling weeds and laying dirt, rocks, and bark to create a place for students to walk, reflect, and enjoy the outdoors.
We would also like to recognize and thank those who generously gave their time and resources:
Caleb McKenzie for donating his time and hard work
Dirt Works (Kettle Falls) for donating 4 yards of dirt
Dave Konz for donating a yard of bark
RYAC for providing essential materials for the project
Kathy McKay for donating t-shirts for our Earth Day event
This day was a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together. We are proud of our students, grateful for our supporters, and honored to be part of such a caring and committed community.
