New Student Information System!!!
Rio Rancho Public Schools will be using a new student information system, PowerSchool, starting this fall. PowerSchool is a web-based system that will contain all of our student information including attendance, scheduling, grading, emergency information, parent/guardian information and health records.
ParentConnect will be discontinued as of 6/9/2009. Parents of middle and high schools will receive more information regarding the implementation of the replacement of ParentConnect by late Fall 2009. We are excited to launch this new system and ask for your patience while we make all the necessary adjustments!

The Sandoval County Community Health Alliance needs your help.
ALL PARENTS: Please make sure that your contact information (especially addresses and home/cell phone numbers) have been updated in records so that our emergency contact system will be able to reach the correct person in the case of emergencies or attendance calls! Contact the Registrar to make sure information is correct if: - you have changed your phone number(s) - you have not received a notification call from the RRPS SchoolMessenger system this year or if you have received a call and you're not the parent of (or the emergency contact for) an RRPS student, call 896-0667 Ext. 180.
