SECOND SEMESTER ELECTION
WILL YOUR STUDENT BE REMOTE or FACE TO FACE SECOND SEMESTER?
As the district begins to plan for SECOND SEMESTER, we are asking that ALL FAMILIES complete the COMMITMENT SURVEY BEFORE DECEMBER 11, 2020.
Please take time to fill out this short Commitment Survey to let us know your plans for your student as we move into the Second Semester of the 2020-2021 school year. The selection you make will be in place for the first 9 weeks of Second Semester.
To complete this process you must:
- Know your student's ID number (The student ID is the same as the lunch number). If you do not know your student's ID, please check Infinite Campus for the ID number.
- You will need to complete the survey once for each of your students at FCS.

GRADING & FINAL EXAM INFORMATION
As we get ready for the close of the 1st semester, we wanted to remind our community of our grading policies and processes.
SUMMATIVE GRADES
- Students must have EIGHT (8) SUMMATIVE GRADES in order to get a grade for the semester.
- The NINTH (9th) SUMMATIVE GRADE is the FINAL EXAM. The exemption policy is below.
- Per FCS Policy, the recovery deadline is 10 days before the close of the semester - DECEMBER 4. That being said, please know and understand that some teachers may need to give a summative after December 4. In those situations the teacher will communicate the recovery timeframe to the student and parent.
RECOVERY REMINDER
Students that score below an 89 can recover up to an 89 per the FCS adjustment on November 9. This policy IS NOT RETROACTIVE. Please contact the teacher DIRECTLY with any questions.
EXAM EXEMPTION & SCHEDULE
In order for a student to be eligible for an exam exemption, they must meet the following criteria:
- Complete ALL EIGHT (8) SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENTS/ASSESSMENTS
- Be PASSING THE CLASS for the SEMESTER. The student does NOT need to pass every summative to be eligible for the exemption.
- If the student only has SEVEN (7) summatives completed, THEY MUST TAKE THE FINAL EXAM.
- Also remember - if a student has NOT completed 80% of their SUMMATIVES they will receive an INCOMPLETE for the semester.

PTO SENIOR SNACK
Holiday Senior Snack THIS Friday, December 11, during both lunches! Drive-thru pick-up in the Red lot carpool lane for virtual seniors and outside the cafeteria on the back patio for seniors in school. Seniors must have paid their Senior Dues! There will also be an additional Class of 2021 treat!

GRADUATION 2021 INFO
As we head into second semester, still in the midst of the pandemic, the school district's graduation plans are still uncertain. HOWEVER, we do know that the Class of 2021, the 100th MHS graduating class, will have a celebration! Regardless of what the celebration looks like, graduates will wear their caps and gowns, receive their diplomas, get their pictures made, and be celebrated by families, friends, MHS staff, and PTO. In order to start the preparations, it's time to pay the graduation fee and place orders. The mandatory graduation fee this year is unchanged from last year: $80. This includes the cap, gown with 100th anniversary embroidered patch, 2021 tassel, special 100th anniversary diploma cover, and small MHS administrative fee. Our graduation business partner, GA Balfour, collects the fee for us and fulfills the orders. Please see the flyer for ordering details and instructions. The minimum that must be chosen for graduation is Option A - Grad Fee Only. Graduates are free to choose one of the other options offered by Balfour which will cover the mandatory grad fee plus some extra optional items. Act now-the first deadline with the lowest fee is January 31, 2021.
*This fee is specific to graduation and is different from the PTO Senior Dues.
If financial assistance is needed, please email the senior's counselor OR the school social worker (Patrick Hartigan) at hartigan@fultonschools.org General graduation questions should be sent to Jackie Angel at angel@fultonschools.org

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The PTO provides assistance to families in need in our community from funds designated for outreach in our budget. With your support, we have helped several families this school year who have lost employment due to Covid, a recently widowed mother with seven children and a family who lost their home and belongings in the recent hurricane. We will continue to work with our school social worker and provide support to families. We've also created a way for you to donate directly to our outreach efforts. Please go to: bit.ly/miltonoutreach to make a direct contribution. All donations will go toward gift cards for the families to use for groceries, clothing and household essentials. Thank you for your support!

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.

COUNSELING DEPT. APPOINTMENTS
The MHS Counseling Department is very excited to announce that we are now scheduling student appointments online through Microsoft Bookings. As always, if a student is in crisis or it is an emergency, they do not need to schedule an appointment in advance. For visits that can be planned (e.g. college planning, trouble in class, non-emergent personal issue), students can make an appointment with us easily through their phone or other personal device. Here are the steps:
- Go our NEW website at: www.bit.ly/miltoncounseling
- Select the red appointment button
- Select the type of appointment
- Select their counselor's name
- Select preferred date/time
- Complete form with name, e-mail, phone number, and goal for appointment
- Click "Book"
- Student will receive e-mail/text confirmation, as well as a reminder 1 hour before their appointment (this is their pass from class). A Teams link will be included in the confirmation, but a student can meet face-to-face if they'd like to. Student will not be called from class; they can arrive just like they would at a doctor's appointment.
