Attendance Reminders
Please plan ahead for your student's appointments/early dismissals. It is important to communicate with your student when they are to leave. While we understand that last minute needs do arise, we try to minimize interrupting class time. Students that are leaving for appointments during the day will not receive a pass, it will be updated in their attendance.
RHS does not have an open campus. Students who are scheduled to be here for in person classes or lunch are not allowed to leave to go to their cars, coffee shops, restaurants or home.
PSEO and online students ARE allowed to leave the building during times they do not have in-person classes or lunch. If choosing to remain on campus, they need to remain in the Media Center

Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)
- Rogers High School PSEO Information & Process
- RSVP for: In-Person PSEO Information Meeting @ RHS, Wed, Feb. 11, 7:15am
- MDE - About PSEO for Students & Families
Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 11th and 12th (10th only one technical class) grade students to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level courses at eligible postsecondary institutions in Minnesota. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO course.
PSEO Student Eligibility
Students in 11th and 12th grade may take PSEO courses on a full or part-time basis; 10th grade students may take one career/technical PSEO course. If they earn at least a grade of a C in that class, they may take additional PSEO courses.
Tuition and Fees
There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to participate in a course. If public school students do not notify the enrolling district of their intent to enroll in PSEO by May 30 (for fall semester) or October 30 (for spring semester), the family may be responsible for the postsecondary tuition expense.
Registration Instructions
Students who are considering PSEO for next school year (2026/2027) should still be registered as a full-time RHS student until they meet with their counselor to adjust their schedule. Our high school registration process happens in January, while PSEO applications do not open until February/March.
For current information about the PSEO program, including an updated list of participating colleges and their requirements visit the Minnesota Department of Education's Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) webpage.
There are a number of different options available to students after high school. Check out the new page on our RHS website to help you explore information and requirements about each opportunity for your journey after high school.

Safety & Internet Filtering at Home
ISD 728 Chromebooks will continue to have filtering to help protect students against harmful and inappropriate online material. Despite the District’s attempt to filter and provide additional protections outside of school, parents/guardians still play an important role in supervising their child's internet access and usage. Parents are encouraged to discuss rules for appropriate internet usage, and reinforce lessons of digital citizenship and safety. Please review our technology responsible use guidelines and visit www.isd728.org/Digital-
