At Sweeny Elementary School, Mrs. Yvonne Hunziker's students have been practicing math problems with flashcards! This is one of their classroom's action steps to help students meet their math fact fluency goal! #RepMOProud
Republic Early Childhood Center students are learning how to build relationships, take turns with toys and practice fine motor skills. At recess, Ms. Kristi Barnes' and Ms. Emily Drollinger's classes took turns playing with an adaptive toy that requires pressing a button to activate music. #RepMOProud
Missed learning has an effect on student achievement. Republic High School students with higher attendance rates, also had higher Grade Point Averages. As shown in the graph, as attendance rates decline, so do GPAs.
In addition, we know that most students who graduate from RHS continue their education or transition directly into the workforce. Regardless of their path after graduation, attendance will be vital. As we encourage strong attendance for middle and high school students, we support their development of good habits for whatever their future holds.

At each Board of Education meeting during the school year, we have a "Building Spotlight" to showcase the remarkable efforts across our district. This month, we heard from Schofield Elementary School students and Principal Mrs. Markie Bravestone. They discussed Schofield's new vision: "Be the school where every student is safe, happy, healthy and learning."

Did you know? When a student misses school two days per month, they will miss 20 days of school per year, including at least 30 hours of math and 60 hours of reading/writing instruction. In addition, students who miss two days of school per month will miss more than one year of school by the time they graduate. Those numbers are doubled for students who miss four days per month.
