Survey Link- https://forms.office.com/r/y1PyKLcqQ3
All 9th-11th grade Magnet students must complete the initial Magnet electives interest survey for the 2025-2026 school year by December 20th. This is only feedback on those electives offered at Magnet and do not include all the options available to students via RVC, RCA, and RCHS. Students will indicate those elective preferences during 1:1 advisement meetings.
Information about the Magnet Electives can be found in the linked videos on the Electives Information Videos Playlist: https://studentsrockdalek12ga-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/abaskett_rockdale_k12_ga_us/ET2S7YaJe7BHs1TiRcZ8GYUBcPBPLemY-XnvhxE9Q897xg?e=4JrvbJ (You must be logged in to a student RCPS account to access.)
Please note that not all electives can be offered every year. Your responses to this electives survey will help determine which electives are initially offered. Ultimately enough students must be registered for a course and a teacher's schedule have room to offer it for it to make for the 2025-2026 school year. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about electives and have your voice heard in which are offered for next school year.
Share your feedback! Our annual 2 question survey is open now through January 10th.
Like last year, please help us by answering the two question survey at https://forms.office.com/r/nBFCrqVTw4 as we reflect on first semester and work to reach our school's vision of preparing global STEM leaders of accelerated change. While there is much to celebrate, we recognize that continuous improvement is always essential to make that vision a reality. Your responses will be compiled and shared at an upcoming staff meeting focused on our School Improvement Goals.
All responses need to be submitted by Friday, January 10th for inclusion at that meeting.
