If a device is not returned by May 12th, or is missing a charger, a fine (hold) will be placed on your account.

DEVICE RETURN INFORMATION FOR 9 -11 GRADE

All Fulton County issued devices must be returned before you leave for the summer. Students who are taking summer school in person will pick up a computer from their summer school site at the beginning of summer school. 

If the device is not returned, the device will be marked "LOST" and a $250 fine will be placed on the student’s account. The device will also be deactivated and be rendered useless.

2023-2024 Back-to-School Immunization Requirements

Rising 11th Grade Students: Effective July 1, 2021, all students entering or transferring into the 11th grade will need proof of a meningococcal booster (MCV4), unless their first dose was received on or after their 16th birthday.

Additionally, the new Certificate of Immunization Form 3231 (Revised 7/2014) is a requirement for all students to register for school. The new 3231 Certificate of Immunization Form can be obtained from a community provider and/or local health departments who should also have access to GRITS (The Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services). Proof of both vaccinations MUST be documented on the Georgia Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231). Certificates issued prior to July 1, 2014, can be submitted only if Form 3231 (Revised 3/2007) shows proof of the two vaccinations unless the child has an exemption.

NOTE NEW CHANGE: Georgia Department of Public Health has developed a new Affidavit of Religious Objection to Immunization Form 2208 for use by all new students enrolling in a Fulton County School beginning with the 2015-2016 school year who wish to submit a religious exemption. You can find the new form at http://dph.georgia.gov/schools-and-childcare under forms and brochures.

Please check to make sure your student has all required vaccinations even if the certificate is marked complete. If the Certificate is marked complete and the child does not have the required vaccines, he/she must return to their primary care provider or public health center to receive the required vaccines and be issued a new/updated certificate.

For more information, visit http://dph.georgia.gov/vaccines-children or call 1-800-848-3868.

Dear Parents,

As the school year winds down, we request that you plan to pick up any medication or supplies your child may have in the school clinic. All medications (prescription and over-the-counter), must be picked up by May 25. Any medications not picked up by May 25 will be discarded as we cannot keep medications over the summer.

In the event your child requires medications for next school year, please remember to fill out a Medication Authorization Form. Provide the Medication Authorization Form and medication to the school clinic when school begins in August.

Please Note: All prescription medications MUST have a Doctor’s signature in order for the clinic staff to administer the medication. All medications MUST be in an original labeled container with a current expiration date.

Please notify the clinic if your child is planning to attend summer school and will require medication or has healthcare needs such as diabetes, asthma, seizures, allergies. Medication forms and/or health care plans are required during summer school.

TRACK & FIELD

The Milton HS track & field team qualified 11 total athletes today to compete in the GHSA 7A Championships to be held at McEachern HS May 11-13 in Powder Springs, GA.

GIRLS

The Lady Eagles will be sending five athletes in four events to the state meet. Leading the charge will be junior Ella Grace Malcom. In the 800m (3rd-2:17.50) and the 1600m (3rd-5:17.20) Malcom will be a contender for a state championship. Joining Malcom in the 800m (4th-2:18.12) will be senior captain Sydney Anderson whose personal best makes her the 4th best performer in school history. And closing out the individual qualifiers, senior captain Emmaline Kelley will compete in the 3200m (8th-11:54.45) after racing to a personal best & grabbing the last qualifying spot. Both Anderson & Kelley will join juniors Emerson Armistead & Leelah Dennis on the 4x800m relay (2nd-10:02.39) that qualified for the state meet with their runner-up finish and the 9th best performance in school history! Also competing at the sectional meet was sophomore Brynn Sheel who ran the 100m hurdles (14th-17.17) to become the 9th best performer in school history, the 300m hurdles (15th-49.67) & was a member of the 4x400m relay (12th-4:11.89) along with Anderson, Dennis & Malcom to run the 8th best performance in school history.

In 2022 Dahunsi was 4th & 3rd in those events at the state meet. Junior Zach Patell is another double qualifier for the Eagles. Patell will run the 800m (8th-1:57.86) & will be a member of the 4x800m relay (2nd-10:05.50) team with seniors Andrew Ramsey, Brandon Sevel & junior Luke Erbey, that were runners-up in the 4th best performance in school history! Closing out the qualifiers is senior Cory Chambers, the George Washington University committ, whose 1600m (5th-4:25.72) returns him to the state meet where he finished 11th in 2022. Also competing at the sectional meet were senior Andrew Ramsey in the 800m (9th-1:58.13) & junior Andrew Sirras in the 200m (14th-22.78) & 400m (14th-50.95).

The GHSA State 7A Championship Meet will take place at McEachern HS in Powder Springs, GA this Thursday-Saturday, May 11-13 with field events & the 4x800m on the 11th, the 3200m & 800m prelims on the 12th & the 1600m & 800m finals on the 13th. Best of luck Eagles!

LATIN

Milton Students Win Big in the CAMWS Translation Contest

It is with great pleasure that we announce the success of two of our students, William Swan and Micah Lim, in the 2023 Classical Association of the Middle, West, and South (CAMWS) Translation Contest. Their exceptional skills in translating Latin have brought honor to our school.

Micah Lim has won a book award for his outstanding performance in the contest. His dedication and hard work have paid off, and we are proud to see him recognized for his accomplishments.

William Swan, on the other hand, has won the prestigious $250 cash award for being among the most accurate translators of Latin in the entire country. This is an incredible achievement, and we are thrilled to see William's talent and efforts recognized on a national level.
