STUDENT DEVICE DEPLOYMENT
On Wednesday, October 26, 2016, Milton High School begin the deployment of the Microsoft Surface 3 tablet for those students who have:
- Completed their DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP COURSE REQUIREMENTS
(provided to all students during study hall in September)
- Completed/returned the DEVICE USER AGREEMENT for both the student and parent (process below)
In order to expedite the process, we will be using a platform called ZippSLIP. ZippSLIP allows us to collect digital signatures from parent and students on the REQUIRED Device User Agreement form. You will be required to create your PARENT account to use this platform. It is FREE and takes only a few minutes to set up.
We ask that, when you are ready to sign off on the Device User Agreement, you have your student(s) with you to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities regarding their school issued Microsoft Surface 3.
Parents need to set up their ZippSLIP (electronic signature) Account and sign off (with student) on Device User Agreement by 5:00PM on Monday, October 24, 2016 in order for your student(s) to get their device on Wednesday, October 26, 2016. Please see the information below to set up your parent account and sign off on the Device User Agreement:
-
Read/watch the instructions for setting up ZippSLIP Parent Account -
pdf version-click: HERE/
video version - click:
HERE
- Goto the ZippSLIP website: http://bit.ly/2edXAt4
- QUESTIONS? Contact Mr. Justin Bacile ([email protected]) or 470-254-2889
You also have the option of printing, signing, and returning the Device User Agreement form to the main office by 3:30PM Monday, October 24, 2016.
INSURANCE
Parents can choose to purchase insurance for the Microsoft Surface. Many insurance companies ask families to mail devices directly to the company for repair/replacement. Parents MAY ONLY use insurance companies with repair centers authorized by the device manufacturer, to avoid voiding our warranties.
Fulton has looked into insurance companies that have been popular with families and confirmed that as of June 2016:
Worth Ave Group
uses authorized repair centers for ALL of our devices so this may be an option for families.
If you are having difficulties setting up your account or need assistance/questions answered, please contact Mr. Justin Bacile at
[email protected] or 470-254-2889.

OCTOBER TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ms. Plonka for being named October Teacher of the Month.
Ms. Plonka's teaching philosophy: Her philosophy is simple: Humans are life-long learners. She strives to impart that on her students and to be an example of that mantra. Good communication skills are vital in any industry students embark on. She aims to craft lessons and discussions that make her students aware of the "bigger picture"--that they are readers of the world. We do not just read novels and write essays; we are constantly learning how to interpret and communicate the world around us. What she loves about teaching literature is that the students help her see things in a new way, and that broadens her learning. Ultimately, she desires for it to broaden their lenses. Learning is not limited to the classroom. That is her favorite thing about teaching--and life. She hopes that her students see that she is still learning, and she prays every day she can give the best of herself to her pupils and colleagues.

OCTOBER EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

COLLEGE ADMISSION INFORMATION
When it comes to college admissions, everyone has the same question: "What are my chances of getting in?" The answer is not always clear, partly due to the way colleges admit students. The most important data is not what you see posted on the school's website, rather it is data that represents the admission decisions of ACTUAL Milton students. We are implementing a new process to begin accumulating meaningful data that will help guide families through college applications.
STEP 1 - Complete the Senior Advisement Form
This will help your Counselor and the College and Career Center assist students with picking schools and planning applications.
If you have not completed this form it can be found here:
https://goo.gl/forms/7PKWVGByxowjbykj1
STEP 2 - Complete the Milton High School College Decision Form
This form needs to be completed for each school to which you apply whether you are accepted, denied or deferred. You will be able to go back and edit this form as you receive admission decisions and scholarships, and then again when you decide which school you will attend.
This form can be found here:
https://goo.gl/forms/0aT0wJLpfL1Ge5nJ3
Finally, we are launching a new Facebook page to celebrate the
Future of Milton 2017.
Once you have decided which school you would like to attend, please share a photo and a little bit about your decision to attend that school.
https://www.facebook.com/futuresofmilton2017/
ASVAB TESTING
Students: Milton will be administering the
ASVAB (The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) on
Tuesday, December 6 to any interested student

EAGLE PRIDE
CROSS COUNTRY
The Milton Cross Country team qualified for the 7A classification state championship by placing 1st in the Girls' Varsity race and 2nd in the Boys' varsity race at the Area 3 championship on Saturday at Boling Park in Canton.
The Lady Eagles were led by senior captain, Marie Repasy's 4th place finish in a personal best time of 18:28. Freshmen Faith Bobak (6th - 18:33) and Abby Rindt (10th - 19:06) also recorded personal best times, and sophomore Taylor Cushman (12th - 19:08) grabbed the final automatic qualifying spot for the state meet. Emily Bowers, Brooke Aumer, and Faith Wagner also battled with South Forsyth's runners and helped to earn the team victory over their region rival for the second consecutive weekend.
In the boys' varsity race, junior Sam Bowers ran a personal and an all-time Milton best time of 15:23 to earn his 4th individual victory of the season. Juniors Michael Malkowski (2nd - 15:44), and Ryan Beitzell (10th - 16:09) also ran personal best times and are now 4th and 7th on Milton's all-time record board. Seniors Valera Stettner and Michael McCarthy earned the last two scoring positions for the Eagles, but it was not quite enough to overcome a strong pack performance by region rival Lambert.
The boys and girls advance to the 7A state championship which will be held on Friday, November 4 in Carrollton.
