Helpful Information for Families - Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) is partnering with Hanover Research to conduct a study that asks parents/guardians for their opinions about different aspects of their experience with the district to include perceptions of family engagement, student engagement, student safety, academic support, and much more. This study is for research purposes only, and all information you provide will be maintained on a confidential basis by Hanover Research. Individual data will not be reported to the district. RCPS will receive aggregate results to inform program planning efforts. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to be candid in your responses. The survey will require up to 15 minutes to complete. The 2022 Family Engagement Survey will be available beginning Wednesday, April 20, 2022, through Wednesday, May 4, 2022.

Submitting Excuse Notes & Limiting Unexcused Absences
Excuse notes can be brought to Magnet’s front office or submitted via email to
MagnetOffice@rockdale.k12.ga.us . Please note that excuse notes must be submitted within 3 days of your student’s return to school.
Students must stay home if they are sick and stay home until they have been fever free for a minimum of 24 hours. Additionally, students and staff are required to isolate for 10 days when they receive a positive COVID-19 test.
While understanding it is key to stay home if a student is sick, we also need your partnership in limiting or eliminating unexcused absences. Students, you will not be eligible to exempt your Spring final exams if you have more than 3 unexcused absences. Please ensure that you are coming to school on all days that you are able.
Safety Reminders & COVID-19 Testing
Also, RCPS continues to offer free COVID testing Monday through Thursday along with free vaccine events. To learn more about contact tracing, isolation and quarantine guidance, testing and vaccines, please visit the district website at www.rockdaleschools.org and click on the COVID tab at the top of the page.
