Dear Families,
Due to unforeseen staff shortages, we regret to inform you that the after-school program scheduled for Tuesday, January 16th, will be canceled. The program will continue on Wednesday, January 17th, as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
K-12 Families,
We hope this message finds you well. As we continue to experience the winter season, it's important to ensure that our children are dressed appropriately for the colder temperatures. In particular, warm winter coats are a must-have to keep them safe and comfortable.
If you are facing any challenges in providing suitable winter clothing for your child, please know that you can reach out to our Community In Schools team for assistance. Shannon Young and Carrie Dansel are available to help families in need of cold-weather attire, and they can be contacted using the following details:

We understand that it can be tough to keep up with the changing weather conditions, but we hope that this information will be helpful to you. Stay warm and safe this winter, and don't hesitate to contact us if you need any support.
The Republic School District will be closed Monday, January 15th in recognition and honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Winter ROAR adventures are set to begin next week. As a reminder, please dress your students in winter weather clothing, including insulated boots, gloves, coats, and snow pants, as well as warm socks and hats. In case your students don't have these items, both The ROAR program and The Community In Schools organization have winter clothing available for borrowing on the day of their adventure.

School Board Recognition Month:
January is School Board Recognition Month. Let’s take this opportunity to thank our school board directors for dedicating their time to leading our schools. Five board members are elected from our community to volunteer their time and energy to oversee our public schools. They help ensure we have strong student and academic support, sustainable financial health, safe and secure schools, strong community engagement, and positive staff culture. A big THANK YOU to Amy Rooker, Travis Fletcher, Ralph Ellingson, Jack Hamilton, and Steven McGinley!!!
Thank you all who were able to take the 4-day school week survey. I have attached a link to the findings/presentation that was presented and broken down for the school board. No decision has been made at this time and I would like to make sure we are transparent with sharing the entire breakdown as it was presented. Have a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Come join us on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 5 pm in the Elem cafeteria to help solve the case of the Jingle Bell Mystery! This play is brought to you by Mr. Cromwell and the Drama class (6th,7th & 8th graders). Admission is free! See you there!
Our last survival skills day on Hall Creek was with Mr. Zakar's 6th Grade class. Despite the rainy and cold weather, students had a great time learning compass navigation skills, basic first aid, and fire building. Most groups were able to start and maintain a fire and build shelters to keep out the rain. The ROAR program would like to express gratitude to Jim Beckwith and Bob Venters from the Ferry County Search and Rescue team and Christina Ralstin and Briana Smith from the Ferry County EMTs for volunteering their time and expertise to the students of Republic Elementary.
