ACT SCHOOL DAY INFORMATION
On Wednesday, March 13, we will be offering the ACT to JUNIORS who previously registered to take the exam in December and January.
Students who are not taking the ACT will have an asynchronous day of learning from home. Students should complete the assignments provided by their teachers on the day from home.
Previously registered Juniors who are taking the ACT should report to Milton High School by 8:00 AM on March 13 and proceed to their assigned testing locations. More information regarding testing locations and additional instructions will be sent to the student’s FCSTU (school) email prior to the testing date. On Monday, February 5th, a confirmation email that includes pre-assessment activities was sent to both the parent and the student emails provided during the registration process. Please check your email for this information.
The anticipated testing time for the ACT on March 13 will be from 8:20 AM until 12:30 PM. Students approved for extended time through ACT will likely complete testing around 2:30 PM. Students are allowed to bring a snack. The snack can only be eaten during the scheduled break times during testing.
Fulton County transportation will run on a normal schedule on March 13 for those JUNIORS who need to use it. Students without personal transportation will go to the cafeteria after the conclusion of testing and can work on their schoolwork until 3:30 PM when they will be released to the busses.

Maggie Bailey, Cassidy Gordon, Ava Chen and Emily Deich performed their Thespy submissions for receiving Overall Superior scores. Emily Deich was then chosen to participate in the closing ceremony for her presentation. Ava Chen won the Linda P.
