EARLY RELEASE OPTION, SAT/PSAT DAY
Because Milton HS added a full release day to the 2019-2020 calendar, the previous practice of an early release day for students AFTER they completed the PSAT/SAT had to be changed back into a full school day.
Because we want to students taking the PSAT or SAT on Wednesday, October 16 to be fully engaged and prepared for the test, we are allowing parents to complete the form below to release their student AFTER he/she has completed the PSAT/SAT on 10/16/19.
Because the dismissal busses will be at the normal time of 3:30PM,
students who remain at school will have supervised study hall/academic support in the
cafeteria.
Q&A RELATED TO EARLY RELEASE OPTION ON 10/16/19
| Q: Will school lunch be available for all students? |
A: Yes, all students will be able to get lunch. Students with permission to leave will have a grab & go option.
|
| Q: What is the bus schedule on 10/16? |
A: Busses will be available at the regular 3:30PM dismissal time for students who remain at school.
|
| Q: What if I'm a senior who has already taken the SAT? |
A: We encourage seniors and their families to take advantage of the extended weekend to explore college & career opportunities.
If a senior is absent on 10/16 because he/she was visiting schools or exploring career options, he/she will need to bring in a note from a parent/guardian stating such when they return on 10/17 in order for the absence to be excused.
|
| Q: What is available for students who remain at school? |
A: Because the PSAT/SAT will conclude at approximately 12:45PM, students who stay will have the opportunity to eat lunch and then remain in the cafeteria for a monitored study hall or get support in one of their core classes as those teachers will be available at various times.
|
Q: Can I call attendance on the morning of the 16th and give my child permission to leave after the test?
|
A: No. Please use the link below and complete the online form BEFORE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15 at 5:00PM. |
Parents/guardians who want an early release for their student

SEPTEMBER
Congratulations to
Ms. Miriam McAlister for being named
September Teacher of the Month.
This is her Teaching philosophy: I have always had a love and passion for teaching and do what I do every day wholeheartedly for the kids. My goal as a teacher is for my students to find success and value in mathematics and feel confident in learning. My favorite part of the day is when a student says "ohhh I get it!". I want them to engage in meaningful content and applications, while preserving through challenges. My teaching style is active and engaging, constantly allowing time for discussion, collaboration, and fun interactive activities. I value collaboration and respect in my classroom, creating an environment where students aren't afraid to fail and feel comfortable expressing their needs. My hope as a teacher is that I can give my students a strong foundation to succeed in math throughout the rest of high school and beyond.

AP TEST INFORMATION
As you know, taking the Advanced Placement exam is an important part of all AP courses. Milton High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can possibly earn student's college credit for their high school classes, saving a significant amount on tuition. AP exams are given to Milton students at no cost. Students will have the ability to continue in this tradition by registering for their tests during the priority registration window.
Students must sign in on
https://myap.collegeboard.org
and use their College Board account, which is the same login that they may have used to access past AP, PSAT, or for the SAT scores. If you do not have an account, click the Sign Up link on the website. When registering,
please be sure that you DO NOT
use your FCS issued email address
; use an email address you regularly check. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access.
Students must enroll in their class sections for each AP course they take. Your AP teacher(s) will provide you a join code to enroll in each of your class section(s). Once you receive your join code(s), you can sign into
https://myap.collegeboard.org to complete the registration process for classroom resources and to register for your exam(s). To complete the registration, students must answer all required questions.
You will click either Yes or No indicating whether
you will sit for the exam or not.
If you are taking an AP course through Georgia Virtual, you will receive your join code(s) through an email from Ms. White. You will only enroll in an exam only section.
Priority Exam Registration IS NOW OPEN. You will have until Wednesday, November 13, 2019 to complete your registration at no cost
.
For students taking an AP course for the full year,
Online Late Registration will begin on Friday, November 15, 2019
at a cost of $40 per exam for full year AP classes, and end on

If you are only registered for a second semester AP course (not a full year course), you will only incur a late registration fee if you register after Wednesday, March 11, 2020.

Here are the important dates for the registration process:

PSAT DAY
PSAT on WEDNESDAY, October 16
Parents and Guardians, Please mark your calendars: it is critical for all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to be in attendance on this testing day. We kindly request to consider NOT checking your child out of school for any reason during that day so they can complete the entire test. There are NO MAKE UP SESSIONS for the PSAT. So, if they do not finish their test in one setting, they will not receive a score.
PREPARING FOR THE PSAT
Please ensure that your child has a good night of rest and a healthy breakfast. We sent PSAT study guides (free of charge) home on September 17 so students can get familiar with test procedures, test-taking advice, and complete a practice exam.
Why is it important for my child to
take
and do well on the PSAT?
- It helps students navigate their path through high school toward college and career and offers a range of unique benefits to students.
- The National Merit Scholarship Program uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to identify candidates. And scholarships offered by new College Board partners use information from the PSAT/NMSQT to expand access to scholarship dollars.
- Students who take PSAT will have access to video lessons and will receive personalized SAT study resources based on their test results. Their Khan Academy® practice experience is tailored to meet individual student needs.
- Using results from the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT, AP PotentialTM helps schools identify students likely to succeed in certain AP courses and AP Exams. These students are also notified of their potential directly.
PSAT test fees for 9th and 11th graders are paid by Fulton County school system. PSAT test fees for 10th graders are paid by Georgia Department of Education. PSAT is critical for college and career readiness.

EAGLE PRIDE
CROSS COUNTRY
The Milton cross country teams travelled to the 17th Coach Wood Invitational and came away with many all-time personal bests & a new top-10 all-time school performance.
Varsity Boys
The Eagles were highlighted with many all-time best performances as Milton (19th-437 pts) bested 5 schools the meets championship division race. The performance of the day for the Eagles was junior
Hayden Marshall's (33rd-15:58) performance! Marshall led the Milton contingent and in doing so became the 9th best performer in school history! Senior co-captain
Spencer Watry (71st-16:27) followed in also a personal best by a few seconds while fighting off illness. The Eagles team showed some major improvement as the remainder of Milton's scorers were only separated by 18 seconds while all of them recorded personal best times on the fast Whitesburg course layout. Junior J

Joe Pick (123rd-16:58) & junior

Varsity Girls
Again, season & personal bests led the way as the Lady Eagles held their own with most of the top-teams in the state. Milton (7th-237 pts) bested 20 schools as they prep for another podium finish at the state meet in 3 weeks. Senior Nyah Hernandez (15th-18:43) was again the Lady Eagles top-finisher and her performance a new season's best and sets herself up well for her race at the Area/region championship next weekend. Behind Hernandez, Milton solidified its team of scorers with senior co-captain Abby Rindt (49th-19:37), freshman Annalise Crow (50th-19:39) & junior Audrey Nichols (61st-19:56) all running season's best with Crow & Nichols all-time bests!
