WELCOME BACK! WELCOME
Good evening Milton High School students, parents, faculty and staff!
 
As we begin the 2018-19 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!

SCHEDULE CHANGE PROCESSSCHEDCHANGE
We are working diligently to give students the courses they requested this past spring during the registration process. Please review the following so that you and your student are familiar with the schedule change request process. 
INFORMATION DAY:
Students who meet the requirements below should see their Counselor on Information Day:
  • If there is a hole in your schedule. This means that you do not have a class assigned to you during a 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 pre-requisite for this class. Ex: You have Geometry on your schedule, but you passed it during summer school. 
All other students desiring a schedule change should complete the Schedule Change Request Form. Please note: If you are requesting an Honors or AP course, you will also need to complete the Course Waiver Form. Counselors will begin prioritizing core/academic schedule change requests.

FIRST WEEKS OF SCHOOL:
We will prioritize students requesting core/academic schedule changes. Additionally, students who meet the following requirements should see their Counselor during the period they have a hole or are misplaced in a core/academic course:
  • If there is 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 - see your Counselor 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 pre-requisite for this class. 
    Ex: You have Geometry on your schedule, but you passed it in summer school - see your Counselor during the period you have Geometry.
  • If your Counselor was able to fulfill your schedule change request, you will receive a new copy of your new schedule in class. If we cannot accommodate your request, the Schedule Change Request form will be returned to the student with an explanation.
MAKING A REQUEST:
In order to make a schedule change request please complete the Schedule Change Request Form (we are unable to honor requests that are submitted via email or telephone/voicemail). Forms will be available in Counseling Suites 1320 & 1340. Additionally, the form will be posted on the Milton HS Website beginning August 6.
