Dear Rockridge Parents/Guardians,
We are preparing for the start of the 2024-25 school year. Please make sure you log-in to your Lumen Parent Portal (https://rockridge-il.lumentouchhosts.com/light/lumen/signin) as soon as possible to complete your student’s online registration if you have not done so already.
We encourage families to take advantage of the online payment option this year. We will NOT have a dedicated walk-in Fee Day this year. Parents who wish to pay in person with cash or check are asked to visit any district building the week of August 5th.
Registration fees for K-8 students are $80.00 and $100.00 for HS Students. JH & HS Students are also assessed the Student Technology Fee is $30.00. The Technology Fee takes the place of the separate Chromebook Insurance Policy from past years. High School Students may also have additional fees based upon the student’s class schedule. All fees have been pre-loaded into your student’s Lumen account. Parents can also add lunch money payments via the Lumen portal.
JH & HS Students can purchase PE Clothes through the online store from Breedlove’s Sporting Goods (https://rockridgepefall2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/). The store closes at 11:59 pm on July 24th. All items will be shipped to school and delivered to students once school starts.
HS Students who drive to school will need to purchase a parking pass for $50.00. Please fill out the form linked here (https://bit.ly/4bAwsRd) to get this fee added to your student’s account.
Thank you for your prompt attention to completing registration and fee payment for the 2024-25 school year! Please contact your child’s school with any questions or visit the online Registration Page (https://rockridgeschooldistrictil.sites.thrillshare.com/page/registration) for additional back-to-school information.
Sincerely,
Marcus Bush
District Superintendent
