Civic/Community
Additionally, the Community Relations Department works with a variety of civic organizations and non-profit community organizations, such as the Chamber of Commerce, to create a community that values education.
Gold Cards Offer Free Entrance to Activities
Since the early 1990s, Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) has issued a Gold Card to Rockdale County citizens who are 65 years of age and over, to citizens who are permanently disabled, to retired RCPS teachers, and to youth ministers. This card permits the holder to attend any regular season school activity free of charge. The school system is once again extending this offer. RCPS will administer one Gold Card per qualifying person.
Our Gold Card is a way of saying "thank you" to our older community for the years they have steadfastly supported the children of Rockdale County. Their support is invaluable, their wisdom is beyond measure.
To schedule an appointment to have your picture ID made so that your Gold Card can be issued, please call the Central Office at 770-483-4713 or email rcpsinfo@rockdale.k12.ga.us .
