Online registration is now available for all students attending Republic Schools in the 2024-2025 school year! ALL students (preschool through 12th grade) must have a parent/guardian complete the required forms through the new Infinite Campus Parent Portal by Wednesday, August 7. As a reminder, specific forms must be completed for students to participate in various activities, including technology usage.

NEW PARENT PORTAL NOTES: With the implementation of our new student information system, families of students who attended our district last year will need to create accounts in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal prior to completing online registration and back to school forms. This includes pre-registered incoming Early Childhood and Kindergarten families. Details and instructions for creating a Parent Portal account and completing Online Registration are available here.

Reminder: We've been made aware that staff members, who are also parents of students in the district, might run into issues when trying to create their new Infinite Campus Parent Portal accounts and complete online registration. If you are both an employee and a parent, and are having trouble with the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, please contact Danielle Luaders via email (danielle.luaders@republicschools.org).

EC and Kindergarten Families: We appreciate you completing online forms when you enrolled your child for preschool or kindergarten screening in the spring, however, there are additional forms required before your student can start school. Please plan to create a Parent Portal account and complete this process by August 7.

STRIPES 360 is looking forward to another great school year serving our families through before and after school care programs. An initial enrollment period will take place for Tiger STRIPES, Tiger PALS and Tiger TEENS July 15-August 9 to begin on the first day of school. Enrollments received after August 9 will not be able to begin until August 26.

To best ensure your student’s spot, it is important that you register as soon as possible. Spots will be first come, first served. Within a few days after registering, you will receive communication from STRIPES 360 with either confirmation of your student’s registration along with an invoice for your first payment OR notification that your student has been placed on a waiting list. STRIPES 360 continues to be committed to providing a fun, safe environment for students needing before and after school care. 

Visit the STRIPES 360 webpage for details and to register.

“Tennis Shoe Tuesdays” are back… but this time it’s EVERY TUESDAY for the entire school year! Each Tuesday employees will have the opportunity to wear their tennis shoes with a free, district-provided t-shirt and jeans! The hope is that "Tennis Shoe Tuesdays" will inspire employees to get extra steps in and focus on their wellness while in more casual clothing.

The first “Tennis Shoe Tuesday” will be September 17! Follow the link below to provide your t-shirt size by August 14. These free, district-provided t-shirts will be delivered the week of September 9.

The Republic School District is dedicated to compensating certified staff for additional responsibilities that are directly related to supporting student success and district goals. As mentioned in the June edition of Staff Communicator, the district’s application for Career Ladder has been approved by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district will also offer RepMO Tutoring opportunities that have previously been available. However, staff will only be able to participate in one of the two programs. 

A committee has been formed to develop and oversee the Career Ladder program. The committee is made up of elementary and secondary teachers, administrators and district leaders. An employee’s application to participate in Career Ladder must be submitted by August 23. An email from Dr. Allison Dishman, Executive Director of Secondary Learning, will be sent on August 2 with details for qualifying responsibilities and additional steps in the application process. Information will also be shared about RepMO Tutoring to support staff in choosing which program they would prefer.

We are hiring! Check out the graphic below for a list of open positions across the district. Feel free to share this list with anyone who might be a good fit for one of these positions!
