We’ve received some calls from families wondering why textbook enrollment fees are still showing on their account even though they’ve been approved for free or reduced fees.
Please know that this is a normal part of the process - fee waivers are not applied immediately upon approval. Our Food Service Director is currently working hard to finalize menus and prepare our kitchens for the start of school, and we appreciate your patience as we work through these beginning-of-the-year tasks.
Rest assured: no late fees will be assessed while we finalize these updates. We kindly ask families to hang tight and allow a little time for everything to be processed. Thank you for your understanding and support as we kick off a great school year!
As part of required security updates following last year’s PowerSchool data breach, we were required to reset all student Gmail passwords (grades 6–12). These Gmail accounts are used to log into PowerSchool, so students will not be able to access PowerSchool until they receive their new passwords.
New login credentials will be distributed during the first week of school.
If students need to view their schedules before then, they can do so through the Parent PowerSchool Portal.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to prioritize student safety and data security.

New This Year at Rose Hill: Student ID Activity Pass for 6-12 graders
Beginning this school year, all Rose Hill students in grades 6-12 will have their photos taken during the first two weeks of school for Student ID cards. These ID cards will be available for a one-time fee of $25 and will grant students free admission to all middle and high school home activities, with the exception of dances and KSHSAA-sponsored competitions. This includes events at both schools - so middle school students can attend high school events for free, and vice versa.
To gain entry, students must present their Student ID card. If a student does not have an ID card, regular admission fees will apply. Replacement cards will be available for $5.
Why This Change?
As a district, we want to ensure that cost is never a barrier for our students to participate in and enjoy school events. In previous years, many students spent upwards of $100 annually just to attend a few activities. This new program significantly reduces that cost and encourages greater student involvement.
If you choose not to purchase the Student ID card, that’s completely fine, your student can still attend events by paying regular admission and will not receive an ID card.
It’s time to get ready for an exciting new year at Rose Hill Schools! Our Back to School Enrollment Guide is here to help you with everything you need—key dates, enrollment and fees, transportation info, and more!

📣 Enrollment Update! Online enrollment for the 2025–2026 school year will open in PowerSchool toward the end of July for returning students. We’ll notify families as soon as forms are live so stay tuned!
NEW Students: You can access new student forms and info following this link [https://www.usd394.com/o/rose-hill-394/page/new-student-enrollment].
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We wanted to share a quick update about the enrollment status of our current out-of-district students.
If your student attended Rose Hill Schools as an out-of-district student for the 2024-2025 school year, they’re all set to continue for the 2025-2026 school year. No need to reapply for an out-of-district waiver! Enrollment will start towards the end of July in PowerSchool so watch for that. The only exception would be if there were significant behavioral issues this last school year.
In the rare case that a student isn't approved to return, their building principal would have already reached out to let the family know. So if you haven’t received a call, you can consider your student approved for next year. Please note, however, that enrollment status is subject to change if significant concerns arise or if new information is brought to our attention before the start of the school year. In such cases, a building principal will reach out to communicate directly with you.
If you have any questions about your child’s enrollment, feel free to contact their building principal or reach out to the district office.
Thanks for being a valued part of the Rose Hill Schools community! We’re looking forward to a great year ahead!
