JANUARY TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Mrs. Karen Jones for being named January Teacher of the Month.
Teaching Philosophy: She believes purposeful compassion is the foundation for building relationships with students which is the most essential element in education. Leading with her heart creates a warm environment in which students want to be present and ultimately allows students to produce and perform. However, her kindness and compassion are there to provide a vehicle for methodically planned lessons. Without those plans, she just creates an atmosphere for students to want to attend, but not grow academically. Compassion and Planning!

JANUARY PROFESSIONAL OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Mrs. Casey Lahman for being name January Professional of the Month.
Casey Lahman is an amazing counselor and an incredible support to the students and staff at Milton, as well as our parents and community members. She is professional, conscientious, helpful and always puts the needs of the students first. She can always be counted on to attend meetings before and after school and provides insight, expertise and direction to the parents and students. Lastly, she goes beyond the call of duty each and every day and we are so lucky to have her in our building!

WEATHER MAKE UP INFORMATION
Fulton County Schools announces that s
tudents will make up three of the eight school days that were lost this year due to inclement weather. The three days are
February 16,
March 9 and
March 12.
February 16 was announced earlier this year as a make-up day due to Hurricane Irma school closures, but the district has determined that
March 12 will be a second make-up day for the recent snow/ice closures.
A third make-up day -
March 9 -
will be a piloted Digital Learning Day, where students will work independently from home on schoolwork and projects using district-issued mobile devices or home technology.
The district will communicate the specifics of the March 9 Digital Learning Day to individual schools and teachers.
As a charter school district, Fulton County Schools has the option of deciding how it manages lost instructional time. Also, several years ago the district added 10 minutes to each school day resulting in instructional time that far exceeds the state's requirement for the school year.
