MESSAGE FROM FCS SUPERINTENDENT
We take the health and safety of our students and staff very seriously in the Fulton County School District. It is a shared expectation that parents, guardians and students not only take their own health and safety seriously, but that they make the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff THE priority now that we have resumed face to face instruction in our schools. Unfortunately, there have been some instances where students have entered our school buildings with observable and measurable symptoms of illness and/or knowingly awaiting COVID test results. And in some rare cases, they have even lied about this. I cannot stress enough how irresponsible this behavior is, as it compromises the health and safety of every student and staff member in a school building and jeopardizes all students' ability to receive face-to-face instruction.
As a result, if a student comes to school knowingly experiencing illness or symptoms of COVID-19, we may take the following actions to protect the health and safety of students, staff, and the community: - Moving the student to virtual learning for a specified time, including the remainder of the semester;
- Removal of the ability to participate in athletics or other extracurricular activities or events; and/or
- Referral to the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in cases of suspected abuse or neglect.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, and any student who is dishonest or causes a school disruption will be subject to our Student Code of Conduct and extracurricular rules, as is typical. Again, safety and health is our number one priority! We must all work together to ensure a safe and successful school year. The professionals at Fulton County Schools will do their part. We need our parents, students, community members, and other stakeholders to do theirs, as well.
|
COVID REPORTING PORTAL
As students in Fulton County Schools (FCS) have begun returning to face-to-face instruction, a number of changes were implemented to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors. Among the most vital of these changes is the development and introduction of a new electronic FCS COVID-19 Reporting Portal for parents (and students). This electronic reporting process will allow for a more direct reaction from primarily the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) with support from FCS to promptly respond and address student/family cases of COVID-19.

PICTURE DAY IS COMING!
10/20/2020
Students will get picture day cards from their ELA teachers. Pictures will be taken during ELA classes.
- Students will stay masked up and socially distant while waiting for pictures.

STUDENTS ATTENDING MHS REMOTELY
- Students attending MHS virtually will get pictures taken after school on 10/20/2020. Please use the chart below ONLY IF your child is attending virtually and NOT in person.
| TIME | STUDENT GROUP | | 4:00-4:30PM | LAST NAME BEGINS WITH A - E
| | 4:30-5:00PM | LAST NAME BEGINS WITH F- K

OFF-CAMPUS WAIVER
Now that we have moved into F2F learning, we are presenting our plan for those students who are taking classes off campus. To that effect, students MUST complete the required Off Campus Consent Form and Waiver.
STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR THE OFF-CAMPUS WAIVER:
- Dual Enrollment (not at MHS)
- Seniors with a reduced schedule
- Students in Fulton Virtual (FVS) or Georgia Virtual (GAVS)
-
Work-Based Learning, Internships, Directed Study or other approved reasons, as shown on the student's current schedule.
PARENTS/STUDENTS MUST CORRECTLY COMPLETE FORM AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
- First, CLICK HERE or go to https://tinyurl.com/MHSOCF20-21 and DOWNLOAD the Consent Form and Waiver and print it. Please write legibly on the contract and complete all portions that are relevant to your schedule.
- Once you have filled it out and signed in each relevant spot, SCAN AND UPLOAD the completed contract to this MICROSOFT FORM (https://tinyurl.com/Off-CampusSubForm20-21). NO DIGITAL SIGNATURES will be accepted - it must be an actual signature on the form.
- Finally, be sure to submit your Microsoft Form and screenshot that submission page. You will need to show this when you come to campus to pick up your stickers.
PLEASE NOTE: Approval of the waiver does NOT guarantee a parking permit/space on MHS campus. If a student drives a vehicle onto campus WITHOUT a valid permit, the vehicle WILL BE TOWED at the owners expense.
|
STUDENT DROP-OFF
Parents please do not use the Blue Lot (bus lane lot) as a car pool lane. The only car pool lane is the red lot (stadium lot). This becomes problematic with students and teachers entering and exiting the lot blue lot. This also poses a safety issue with buses dropping off and picking up students. In addition, please refrain from driving/parking in the bus lane for any reason. Once again, this poses a safety issue with buses dropping off and picking up students. Thank you in advance!

EAGLE PRIDE
Girls Teams Pace Milton at Coach Wood Invite
The cross country teams at Milton travelled to the 18th edition of the Coach Wood Invitational, one of the most competitive meets of the season, and came away with to race wins, two individual wins and a slew of personal bests in the last meet before the region championships.
VARSITY BOYS
The Eagles were once again facing some of the best teams in Georgia and Alabama and were able to beat back 4 schools in the Championship race. Milton (12th-258 pts) bested All-Class #1 Pace Academy along with #1 ranked 4-A Marist in running their fastest team average time (16:21) of the season. The Eagles were again led by the senior duo of Jack Petkash (23rd-15:43) & Hayden Marshall (25th-15:45) both tying their personal bests. The race of the day on the boy's side came from senior Connor Brunson (41st-15:58) who's performance made him the 11th best performer in school history! Junior Dylan Bowden (118th-17:05) and sophomore Cory Chambers (125th-17:14) concluded Milton's scoring athletes. Senior co-captain Lorin Tady (127th-17:17) & freshman Hixon Rumph (139th-17:35) also figured in the Eagles score.
JV BOYS
Milton (10th-262 pts) defeated 5 schools in an incredibly competitive field. Freshman Zach Patell (10th-17:20) led the Eagles in only his second race in a Milton uniform racing to a 94-second personal best. Juniors Davis Hobbs (60th-18:11) & Jake Youngblood (63rd-18:16) rounded out the Eagles top-3 with Youngblood's performance a personal best.
OPEN BOYS
The Eagles defeated three schools as Milton (6th-126 pts) had their best team finish of the day for the boys. Senior Sean Runner (6th-18:38) led the Eagles in a big personal best with fellow senior Brendan Trainor (28th-19:15) & freshman Luke Erbey (29th-19:16) rounding out Milton's top-3 finishers.
VARSITY GIRLS
The Lady Eagles fell short of a team trophy while besting 10 schools including region foes Roswell & Cherokee who they will race next weekend. Milton (3rd-116 pts) was in the team battle most of the race as Alatoona (1st-85 pts) & Brookwood (2nd-110 pts) finished just ahead of the Lady Eagles. Senior co-captain Audrey Nichols (16th-20:14) & freshman Ella Grace Malcom (18th-20:19) once again were Milton's top-finishers. Incredibly consistent races came from sophomore Farrah Frith (22nd-20:37) & freshman Calista Cacciatore (24th-20:43) kept the Lady Eagles in the hunt for a trophy as junior Ellie Dickenson (36th-21:11) was the final scorer. A all-time personal best from sophomore Gabby Beckman (42nd-21:24) and a tough race effort by junior Jessica Albregts (43rd-21:24) helped Milton to its 3rd place finish.
JV GIRLS
Milton (1st-40 pts) eked out a 3-point win over 7A rival Brookwood (2nd-43 pts) with some late-race passes to bring home the winning trophy! Sophomore Annalise Crow (1st-21:12) went straight to the front and was never threatened on her way to her 2nd race win of the season! A big personal best by junior Sydnie Behrmann (4th-21:48) put the Lady Eagles in a commanding position. Senior Samantha Ventura (10th-22:24) was followed by a big personal best by sophomore Ella Butler (12th-22:25) and along with seniors Natalie Ventura (13th-22:25), Maddie Robertson (15th- 22:27) & co-captain Anne Marie Lessig (16th-22:29) beat back Brookwood to garner the win!
OPEN GIRLS
Another individual win led the Lady Eagles to an almost perfect score performance as Milton (1st 16 pts) bested 4 schools handily. Senior Kaitlyn Bowden (1st-23:22) took control of the race just past the mile-mark and went on to a 14-second victory! Hard-charging junior Ella Rindt (2nd-23:36) & senior Kate Keneck (3rd-23:38) caught & passed fellow senior Audrey Minton (4th-23:45) as surprising freshman Aubrie Cranford (6th-23:59) ran close to a 2-minute personal best to help lead the Lady Eagle contingent.
