All students, virtual and hybrid, are offered the opportunity to participate in Georgia Milestones testing. Health and safety remain a top priority in Rockdale County Public Schools. RCPS takes seriously the safety and well-being of our students, families, and staff.? We will implement a number of rules and safeguards in order to safely administer End-of-Course testing during the 2020-21 school year. While we encourage all students to participate, we will not require virtual students to come into the school for the purpose of testing. Students who do not participate in the EOC after multiple opportunities will be awarded a zero for the EOC grade that will be averaged in as 0.01% of their final grade. Students will not receive an Incomplete nor will they be required to take the test at a later date. For Virtual Students Only: Please go to your home school’s website or click here to complete the Milestones Registration Form to register your student’s intent. We ask that you assist us in preparing your child for testing by adhering to the following guidelines:Maintain your child’s normal schedule, including adequate rest, nourishing meals, and time for relaxation.Discuss with your child the importance of doing his/her best.Refrain from taking your child out of school during the testing sessions.Be sure your child arrives at school on time during testing days.Express confidence in your child’s ability to do well.If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school office.
