We're just TWO DAYS AWAY from the first day of school! The 2023-2024 school year will begin on Monday, August 21.
As a reminder, to allow for more calendar flexibility, and in response to a survey in early 2023, 10 minutes were added to the end of each school day for the 2023-2024 school year. Please review your building's school day schedule at republicschools.org/backtoschool under "Weekly Schedule and Friday Early Release." #RepMOProud
Major league baseball is in full swing! Would you like to (virtually) visit one of the most famous baseball stadiums in the world? In today’s summer learning resource, we’re taking you to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, which opened for its first game in 1912, making it the oldest ballpark in the MLB. You can take a virtual tour of the entire stadium, including the field, press room and box seats. Find that interactive experience here: https://redsox.athleticview.io/
Even if you’re not a Red Sox fan, all baseball lovers can appreciate the history of the ballpark. You can read more about the background of Fenway here: https://www.mlb.com/redsox/ballpark/museum/timeline/1912-1919 #RepMOProud
