Republic School District officials are closely monitoring the forecast as inclement winter weather could potentially affect our area on Monday, February 12.
This message is to serve as a reminder to make alternative childcare plans in case in-person school is not able to take place on Monday, February 12.
Because of the projected timing of this precipitation, it is possible a decision will not be made regarding potential school closures until early Monday morning. As always, district officials will collaborate with weather experts and monitor local roadways.
We will do our best to notify you as soon as possible regarding any cancellations or changes to our regular schedule. Messages are typically sent by 5:30 a.m. on the day of a necessary closure. As previously communicated, if we need to close our district due to the weather, we will notify families and employees using the following methods:
- Phone call
- Text message
- Social media
- Website
- News media
If we determine the need to close our district on Monday, we will have a traditional snow day, which would not have to be made up. Since we will not be implementing an AMI Day due to weather, Chromebooks were not sent home with Early Childhood and elementary students today.
As long as we feel it is safe for our employees and there are enough staff members available, childcare through STRIPES 360 (Winter Escape) may be available during winter weather closures for K-6 students. Click here to pre-register and to learn more.
Should there be additional information regarding the winter weather impact on our district, it will be shared with you when available.
