CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT INFO
Check - in procedure: If the student is late to school or in a FVS / GAVS, Dual Enrollment, Work-based learning, TAG internship and/or Senior Milton release, they need to report immediately to class.
Check - out procedure for during the day: Please make your appointments on the days that you do not have face to face classes. If the guardian does need to come pick-up their student during the school day that they are in school, please email the attendance office - blantona1@fultonschools.org the day prior to the appointment or check-out date. Once that has been received a check-out slip will be signed and will need to be picked up at the front desk for the student to leave at the instructed time. The slip will be ready for pick up in the morning the day of the check-out request. If a note cannot be emailed and the guardian needs to come into the school to check-out the student, they will need to ring the bell and present their DL so that the attendance clerk can check it to verify before getting the student from class. If an email cannot be sent, call the Attendance Office and you will have to verify your identity before your student will be pulled from class. This may take a few moments so please allow plenty of time. If the student leaves for FVS / GAVS, Dual Enrollment, Work-based learning, TAG internship and/or Senior Milton release, they will need to check-out in the atrium on the laptop terminals. These students can only check-out the period allotted to leave and after leaving they may not return.

The Lady Eagles put down a gallant effort and almost won the title as Roswell (1st-27 pts) just out-paced Milton (2nd-38 pts) for the overall win. Sophomore Annalise Crow (1st-22:32) raced with the early leader and just passed halfway moved to the front and continued to extend her lead all the way to the finish besting the runner-up by 50 seconds! One of the best races of the day came from senior Maddie Robertson (3rd-23:41) as she moved up from 15th place at the mile to almost catch the early race leader from Roswell. Strong and ever-improving races came from senior co-captain Anne Marie Lessig (5th-24:03) & senior Kate Keneck (17th-25:50) put Milton in a spot to take the title. Fellow senior Sydney Bobe (26th-27:12) ran to a top-30 finish to close out the scorers for Milton to solidify the team's runner-up position. There were 80 finishers in the girl's race.
