It’s time to complete your student’s registration for the 2026–2027 school year!

To make sure we have the information and required forms needed for the upcoming school year, all families are asked to complete the registration forms for their student(s), even if you believe there have been no changes to your information since last year.

Please log in to your MyPowerHub Parent Portal using this link or copy and paste the link below:

https://rnesu.guardian.powerschool.com/

Once you are logged in, please complete 26-27 Student Registration forms for each student in your household.

You will be able to tell if you have completed the 26 Student Registration form, as the circle on the right of the form will turn green when completed. Once you complete the page/form and submit, the next page/form will automatically load.

Completing the registration process helps us ensure that we have the most current information on file and that your student is ready for the start of the new school year.

If you have questions or need assistance with your account, please email [email protected]

Thank you for taking the time to complete this important step for the upcoming school year!

The 2026-2027 School Bus Routes & Schedules are now on our website! www.rnesu.org/page/bussing-and-routes

Please closely check the bus routes for when your student will be picked up in the morning and dropped off in the afternoon. There could be some changes from last year, especially for the afternoon, and your child could be dropped off at a different time than they have in the past. In accordance with RNE district policy, parents, guardians, or an identified responsible person designated by the parent or guardian must be at the bus stop for grades K-3 or other identified students at drop off times. If this person is not present, the child will be returned to school and wait to be picked up.
