Please join us for the Magnet Family Picnic on Thursday, April 21st at Pine Log Park from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. You are welcome to bring your own food or have a Magnet Fund provided picnic style boxed meal. If you are interested in attending, please complete the survey regarding food options and number of attendees no later than Friday, April 15th at 12:00 for the event to help us plan accordingly.

Auditions for the Magnet Variety Show will be on Thursday, April 21. We are looking for traditional acts like singing, dancing, playing instruments, and acting...but we're also open to non-traditional acts, such as comedy sketches or cool demonstrations. Show us your creativity! The Magnet Variety Show will be on Friday, May 6th, so mark your calendars to attend! If you have any questions, please ask Mrs. Ullo in room 828 or email at cullo@rockdale.k12.ga.us.

Please vote for the new Magnet Fund Officers using this link by Wednesday, April 20th at midnight. Election results will be announced at Picnic on Thursday. Beyond officers, the Fund is always looking for help with the many committees. Please indicate on the last question of the survey if you are interested in leading a committee for next year.

Reminder: Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) and Tutor.com, one of the world’s largest online tutoring services, have partnered to provide live, online tutoring services for RCPS students. Through this partnership, quarantined RCPS students in grades 6-12 can access live tutors on-demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from Tutor.com for 1-to-1 learning support. RCPS students in grades K-12 can access the same expert tutors afterschool.

The service provides homework help across more than 120 subjects, along with drop-off essay review and test prep.

Students can access Tutor.com through the ClassLink landing page in any internet browser on their school-issued laptop or device, which will automatically sign in the student to their account. Or they can visit https://launchpad.classlink.com/rockdale.

The Free and Reduced Meals application is now open for all families. Please be aware that state and federal programs may use the RCPS Free and Reduced Meals eligibility to determine who qualifies for assistance through those programs not associated with Rockdale County Public Schools. For this reason, we encourage you to fill out the RCPS Free and Reduced Meals application which is located on our website under District Announcements. Families have until May 27th to complete the application which may be used for benefits given during the next school year. This will not change anything for previously determined benefits and is not needed for meals during the current school year which are provided at no cost to all students. Again, this may determine your eligibility for benefits outside of RCPS that are provided by state and federal programs.

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.
