REPORT CARDS
Dear Parents,
Fulton County Schools pushed back the distribution of the first semester report card from
Monday, January 13 to Friday, January 17. These few extra days will provide schools more time to verify
students' final grades and other information in the new student information system before they are posted.
As you may recall, Fulton County Schools began using Infinite Campus as its new student information system this year. Campus Parent is the portal that allows parents to view their students' grades, check attendance and communicate with teachers, as well as other helpful features. Please know that the information you see in Campus Parent might not reflect your student's final grade(s), so we ask for your patience until the end of next week. There is no impact on the information you see for your student's second semester classes.
We apologize for the delay, but it is
necessary to make sure your child's information is accurate. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
Brian Jones

JANUARY TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Mrs. Bradlea Satchfield for being named January Teacher of the Month.
This is her teaching philosophy: A social studies classroom should be founded on building skills that go beyond the subject of history. The technological world in which we live provides us with information at our fingertips. It therefore occurs to me that the age-old adage used in history classrooms "who, what, where, when" is somewhat inadequate. Social studies should never be about memorizing facts, but rather thinking critically and generating educated conclusions about the world around us. My philosophy of teaching is predicated on this ideal. In my classroom, I seek to develop inquirers, reflectors and knowledgeable, open-minded analyzers. And I intend to develop students' appreciation for the perspectives, values and traditions of world cultures, while maintaining and appreciation for their own. These skills far exceed simple knowledge of historical events and establish skills necessary to be contributing, affluent members of society. Marcel Proust observed that "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new lands but in seeing with new eyes." This is why, I believe, it is so important for students to have a deeper global awareness and understanding of other cultures. This is what I aim to facilitate through AP World History - understanding of others.

JANUARY PROFESSIONAL OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Mr. Gary Sylvestri for being named January Professional of the Month
This is what was said about him: Coach Sly makes the most of every day that he is at Milton. He leads by example and demonstrates what it means to "Rep the M" to students, staff, and the community. He is never afraid to jump in to help his co-workers, counsel a student, build up a staff member, or come along side a parent to do what is in the best interest of their child. Gary makes sure that ALL people he comes in contact with at Milton feel safe and supported.

INTERNATIONAL SKILLS DIPLOMA SEAL
Dear Milton Senior Students and Parents/Guardians,
Last year, our school was approved to award the International Skills Diploma Seal to qualifying seniors. Why this Diploma Seal? According to the Georgia Department of Education, who is awarding the ISDS, they believe that in today's global marketplace, it is important for students to acquire the interdisciplinary skills they need to be globally competent and competitive. The International Skills Diploma Seal is awarded to graduating high school students who complete an international education curriculum and engage in extracurricular activities and experiences that foster the achievement of global competencies. It is a signal to employers and higher education institutions that a student is prepared to participate in the global economy. You can review the complete information about the International Skills Diploma Seal at: https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/Pages/International-Skills-Diploma-Seal.aspx
If you are a senior who is interested in pursuing this Diploma Seal, please complete the intent form (see below) and submit it to Dr. Glymph by February 18, 2020 in the AP Office 1360. You can also obtain this form and turn it in to one of the World Language Teachers. Then all coursework credits will be verified by the counselors. Once records are verified, students will be notified and invited to attend the informational meeting about the Capstone Presentation, February 24, 2020. The Capstone Presentation is a student reflection on his/her cross-cultural experiences, learned international skills, and competencies. Students will have a choice for the presentation format (video, presentation, performance, journal reading). The Capstone Presentation will take place on March 17, 2020 in front of the International Skills Diploma Seal Committee. Students who are absent or sick will have one more chance to present their Capstone Presentation on March 25, 2020. A list of the final International Skills Diploma Seal Candidates will be submitted to the GA DOE in April of 2020. Students receiving the ISDS will be recognized at the Award Assembly TBA and will receive the Seal during Milton High School Graduation Ceremony in May.

MILTON 100: 1921-2021 A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE
Milton High School is proud to announce that we will be celebrating our 100th anniversary next school year 2020-2021. Prior to merging with Fulton County, the Milton County BOE authorized funds in 1920 to build Milton High School at the old campus site in Alpharetta. Construction of the school began in 1921 (many see this as our "founding") and the first class graduated in May 1922. We will be celebrating next school year (20-21), culminating with the 100th graduating class-MHS Class of 2021! We currently have a planning committee in place and have started meeting and making plans. The committee consists of alumni, alumni parents, current and retired faculty and administrators, and current PTO parents. We also will be working with the local historical societies, city governments of Milton and Alpharetta, and alumni groups.
Stay tuned for more details!
