NOVEMBER TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Mr. Austin Green for being named November Teacher of the Month.
This is his teaching philosophy: His philosophy of teaching has always revolved around the idea that every student can be successful. What is exciting about being in his 3rd year at Milton is that he has taught on-level World History and on-level US History and started finding those students who have never set foot in an AP class. He works with them to get them to a point of taking an AP class during their senior year with him. Everything he does classroom wise, is designed with making every child successful. From test corrections to online quizzes, it's build with the idea of, "if you work hard for him, you will be successful, even if you struggle." In addition to a belief that every student can succeed, one of his guiding quotes is to "create thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men's thoughts." APEconomics, especially Macroeconomics, forces students to wrestle with questions about how much the government should be involved in the economy. it is a question that forces students to think through the content and the overall ramifications of too much or too little government. Watching them struggle with that question is one of his favorite moments and it motivates him to continue to research and bring in a variety of sources and information to help them form their own beliefs about the overall economy. He is not about creating Capitalist or a Socialist, he is in the business of creating a thinker.

NOVEMBER PROFESSIONAL OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ms. Odie Verges for being named November Professional of the Month.
This is what was said about her: She always has a smile on her face and is quick to help out, especially with issues surrounding copiers. It's hard to be the person to whom all problems are reported and she never makes anyone feel like it's an imposition.

FALL EXAM SCHEDULE
The EXAM SCHEDULE for FALL SEMESTER is below.
Please note:
MISSED EXAMS Students are expected to be present and on time on all testing days. If a student must miss a final exam due to illness, the parent/guardian must call the Attendance Office on the day of the absence in order for the student to take his/her exam on the make-up days.
If the Attendance Office is not alerted, the absence will be considered unexcused. The student must also bring in documentation related to the absence when they return to take the make-up exam. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN PERMISSION TO TAKE EXAMS EARLY BECAUSE OF TRAVEL/VACATION PLANS!
CHECKING STUDENTS OUT:
Students will not be allowed to check out while exams are in progress. Classrooms cannot be disturbed and students will not be allowed in the academic halls. For a student to check out prior to the end of the day, please have your student bring a note to the Attendance Office before the beginning of the school day. Due to the volume, the Attendance Office cannot accept emails or phone calls at check-out time.
