POWERSCHOOL
Rockford Public Schools is transitioning our student information system, Skyward, to PowerSchool this summer. The system will provide a more user-friendly experience for all stakeholders. For parents, this means you will have a more intuitive experience and access to items like grades, attendance, schedules, and communications.
Please look for more information this summer. The district will share additional details about login information and resources through PowerSchool. No action is required from families at this time.
Thank you for your patience as we improve our student information system for students, staff, and parents!
Kindergarten enrollment!
Kindergarten Enrollment is now open! Children who turn five on or before December 1, 2026 will be eligible to enroll in DK and Kindergarten for the 26-27 school year. Find more information here:

Before and After School Care (BAC) Program
The BAC program is offered at all elementary schools in the RPS district, available Monday - Friday, 7:00 am until the start of school, and at the end of the school day until 6:00 pm. Our BAC programs provide parents with the security of knowing their children are in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment before and after school hours. DK students have the option of attending BAC at Cannonsburg or Crestwood where they attend DK. Transportation is provided between each elementary school and the DK locations.
BAC is offered every day that school is in session and during Winter and Spring Break. Table games, crafts, gym time, outdoor play, and literacy time are planned each day. For more information regarding BAC registration, visit:
