The Republic School District's mission is to prepare each student for future excellence through a safe educational environment. We are committed to setting students up for success throughout their educational career and beyond graduation, regardless of the post-secondary path they take. Through that effort, we know the importance of students being in school each day, as they gain new skills through challenging and unique learning opportunities.
With the "Every Day Counts" attendance initiative, the Republic School District aims to inform students, staff, families and community members about the importance of students being in school as much as possible to learn and grow. Across the district, you'll see information, data and resources shared throughout the year in various communication platforms. You may also see building-specific attendance goals and celebrations return, just as before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through "Every Day Counts," we hope to encourage all students to "be here" so they can "excel everywhere."

Attendance Data Update
The Republic School District understands families may have additional challenges that serve as barriers in getting their students to school. Building principals will regularly connect with families through various communication methods in order to provide them with the resources and support they need for students to be successful at school and at home. We also have family resources, and contact information for our district's social workers, available here.
More information will be added to this web page throughout the year as we continue the "Every Day Counts" initiative.
We look forward to learning and growing together as we encourage students to "be here" so they can "excel everywhere!"
