Parking Permits
August 12 - SALES BEGIN on Campus Parent Portal
Students are encouraged to rideshare as much as possible, as parking is limited on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who park in the school lots must display a valid parking permit. Vehicles not displaying a valid parking permit may receive an RHS Parking Violation and a possible fine. Student parking is NOT permitted in visitor or staff parking or at the RAC and could result in vehicles being towed.
All student drivers must purchase a parking permit and park ONLY in designated parking areas at RHS and RMS:
- Seniors and juniors can park in the main lot, RHS Performing Arts Center, and the student section of the RMS lot.
- Sophomores must park in the RMS lot (note the signs indicating student parking).
- Students must possess a valid driver's license to purchase a parking permit.
- Rogers High School reserves the right to close sales due to full-capacity parking lots.
- RHS will issue one permit to each student who completes the payment and web form (the link is included in the follow-up email receipt after purchase). Whether early/ late arrival, PSEO, or part-time, the parking permit fee is $90.00 for the full year.
Vehicles not displaying a permit or parked in locations other than designated areas are subject to ticketing/towing.

Cell Phones
RHS will implement a new policy to enhance our students' academic experience and personal well-being. Starting this fall, Rogers High School will introduce a limited-access phone policy. Under this new policy, cell phone use will not be permitted in the classroom. We understand that this topic is as relevant at home as at school, and we appreciate the conversations you may have with your child about the importance of responsible phone use. This decision is part of our ongoing effort to maintain a focused, productive learning environment conducive to student success.
Did you know parents can turn off cell phone access during the school day? You are encouraged to review the settings on your child's cell phone or contact your carrier to find out how to prohibit your child from accessing content between 7:30 and 2:10. Eliminating this barrier to academic success may significantly impact your child's learning and well-being!
Student Accident Insurance Available to ISD 728 Families
As a service to students and families, ISD 728 has contracted with Student Assurance Services Inc. to provide parents with the opportunity to purchase student accident insurance for their child(ren). This is a valuable option for those who desire to provide or supplement their health insurance.

Closed Campus/Attendance
- Rogers High School is a closed campus, meaning that students are expected to stay in school and attend all their scheduled classes on time each day. Students are NOT permitted to leave school for snacks or lunch and are also not allowed to have lunch delivered via delivery services.
- For safety purposes, all students who arrive late or leave early are required to enter and exit the main entrance (Door #1).
- Students found to be skipping a class may receive before or after-school detention. Repeated unexcused absences will be reported to the student's county of residence, and truancy steps will be implemented, as required by law.
- Online and PSEO students must report to the Media Center- OR- leave the building when they are not assigned to an in-person class at RHS. Students are NOT permitted in the hallways during class time without a pass.
