IN THIS UPDATE

Any item with a RED HEADER is NEW INFORMATION. Any item with a BLUE HEADER is information from PREVIOUS updates.

On Monday, September 12, we will host our annual Curriculum Night.

There will be two meetings taking place BEFORE the general schedule, for TAG and ESOL PARENTS/GUARDIANS ONLY:

5:30- 6:00 PM: TAG Parent Meeting in Auditorium

5:30- 6:00 PM: ESOL Parent Meeting in Media Hub

• Please download your child's schedule from Infinite Campus prior to attending Curriculum Night.
• For most parents, the evening will begin at 6:00 PM (again, we encourage you to download or take a picture of your child’s schedule before the event).

From 6:00-7:52 PM, parents will follow their student's schedule and meet teachers. Class periods will last 10 minutes with a seven (7) minute transition between classes.

We are aware that the FCS REDIRSTRICTING meeting is happening on Monday as well. There will be TWO MORE meetings after Monday's meeting. Please see the information in this Eagle Update or CLICK HERE for the FCS Site.

Residents of Fulton County are assigned to a school attendance zone based on their residential address. When new schools or additional classroom capacity are added in a region, or imbalances of enrollment and capacity exist, the Board may direct staff to review attendance boundaries for modifications. This process of revising attendance boundaries is called redistricting.

Each time a redistricting effort is under way, the school system holds three rounds of meetings to gather information needed to draft a redistricting proposal that best meets the community's needs. Unlike other school systems, Fulton uses a process that encourages public discussion before developing a proposal. This allows the community to have maximum input in how the proposed attendance lines are created.

There are 3 meetings scheduled for North Fulton:

Round One

September 12, 2022 (6:00 to 8:00 P.M.) at Alpharetta High School

Round Two

October 3, 2022 (6:00 to 8:00 P.M.) at Alpharetta High School

Round Three 

October 18, 2022 (6:00 to 8:00 P.M.) at Alpharetta High School

Final Recommendations; First Read - November 8

Final Action: December 15

Congratulations to the 2022 Georgia Department of Education Georgia Seal of Biliteracy recipients!

Georgia’s Seal of Biliteracy is based on evidence of students achieving the required level of language proficiency in English plus one or more other languages during their high school years. To obtain this Seal, students must demonstrate the determined level of proficiency in English, as well as one or more additional languages, be that language a native language, a heritage language, or a language learned in school or another setting. Some components for Georgia’s Seal of Biliteracy may be completed prior to high school for some students (as with dual language immersion programs, English learners, and other populations). The focus is on achieving the level of proficiency required for English and the level of proficiency required for one or more other languages. These fine Milton scholars have earned the 2022 Georgia Seal of Biliteracy!

French: Kilian Grund

Latin: Maxym Shtyrbulov

Spanish: Sarayu Ponnade, Leela Ravoori, Isabella Szabo

Kudos to these exemplars of language learning for “Repping the M” and maintaining Milton’s fine tradition of academic excellence!
