WELCOME BACK!WELCOME
Good evening Milton High School students, parents, faculty and staff!
 
As we begin the 2017-18 school year, I am excited to get back into the daily interactions with our students, staff and parents.  While I have been in the profession over 20 years, I am still learning about what teachers need and want from parents (and vice versa).  As the new school year starts, I'd like to share some important points from an article by Eric Sheniger ( www.erisheniger.com). I've bulleted each "thing" teachers would like you to know.  You can read the full article by clicking on the link below the bullets.
  • Coaches, advisers play valuable roles, too.
  • Stay in the know with social media.
  • Change is hard but essential.
  • We are all on the same team.
  • At-Home Projects are important. Really.
  • Respect goes both ways.
  • Your words can foster a love for learning.
Together, let's make this the best year yet for our students!

NEW STUDENT DROP OFF PROCEDURE!DROPOFF
Due issues surrounding both student and faculty safety, there is a new procedure for any parent dropping a student off in the morning. Because this is a new process, we ask that you demonstrate patience and flexibility during this initial implementation.
  • Drop offs are NO LONGER PERMITTED in the FACULTY PARKING LOT. The only vehicles allowed in that lot will be Milton HS faculty, staff and students with Blue Lot Permits.
  • Student drop offs will be done in a designated area between the school and the stadium (see diagram and or video below).
  • Cars dropping students off will need to exit through the LAST parking lane on the stadium side of the facility.
  • Between 7:45AM and 8:20AM cars will only be allowed to make a right turn when exiting the RED LOT (see diagram and or video below).

STUDENT SCHEDULESSCHEDULES
We are working diligently to give your student the courses they requested this spring during the registration process. We have a new process in place for requesting schedule changes. Please review the following dates so that you and your student are familiar with the process.

FIRST WEEKS OF SCHOOL:

We will not be making schedule change requests during the first 3 days of school. Students who meet the following requirements should see a counselor during their hole or misplaced class:

  • If you have a hole in your schedule. This means that you do not have any class assigned to you during the designated period. Ex: No class during 3rd period.
  • If you are misplaced in a core/academic class. This means that you have already passed this class or you have not met the prerequisite for this class. Ex: You have Geometry on your schedule, but you passed it in summer school.

The Schedule Change request period will be from August 10-August 18.

  • Students who have a schedule change request in a core classes may submit requests from August 10-18. Ex: You would like to move from an AP/Honors class to an on-level class.
  • All other requests should be made from August 14-18. Ex: You would like to move from Intro to Art to General PE.

MAKING A REQUEST:

In order to make a schedule change request please complete a Schedule Add/Drop Request Form. Forms will be available in Suites 1320, 1340, and on the Milton HS Website beginning August 10.

***Please note that all schedule changes are based on class availability.***
