Pay Fees
The Rockford School Board eliminated most student fees for the 2022-2023 school year.
Families are not required to pay fees for arts/music, athletics, lab fees or Advanced Placement exams.
High school students will, however, still be required to pay fees for some optional items: on-campus parking permits, driver education (behind-the-wheel training), credit recovery and summer school. View list of school fees.
