Magazine School District

Rattler Family, our high school counselor, Ruth Schlinker, with the assistance of Amanda Kirk, met with our senior class today to discuss local, state, and national scholarship opportunities and to give students access to Google Classroom where they can access information about scholarship opportunities. Seniors were encouraged to share the join code with their parents, so they can access the information, as well. If any parent would like that information, they can contact Amanda Kirk (amand.kirk@magazinek12.com) or Ruth Schlinker (ruth.schlinker@magazinek12.com) at the high school (1-866-900-2001). All students were given a packet for our local scholarships that must be completed and submitted by March 1. #RattlerPride #RattlerFamily
