High School Eagle Update
#MilfordMeansAll #EveryKidEveryDay
New Information
Well, we started the 2nd quarter with some cooler temperatures. We want to continue the great traffic flow, so please be mindful that your student does not need to wait in the car to be dropped off at the front door. We appreciate your support with this.
To be mindful and continue to find ways to support our students, we will be implementing more academic support during Flex Bell(s). We will now have a math center for students. Every three weeks, we will have a strictly academic focus for our Flex Bells. This will ensure we can be more proactive in putting support in place for students who might need them.
Report Cards will be finalized on Thursday, 10/20/2022. They will be emailed to families on Friday, 10/21/2022.
Semester Grades
Courses are broken down into parts called semesters. The semester grade determines whether the course is passed and credit is earned. It is also used in GPA calculation. The semester grade for a class is made up of two-quarter grades. The first-quarter and second-quarter grades are averaged together to determine a student's semester grade.
VETERANS DAY SPEAKERS
Milford High School would be honored to have veterans come in to speak with students in recognition of Veterans Day on Monday, November 14, 2022. We chose this day so that you can attend events in our school district. If you are a veteran or know a veteran who would like to attend, please fill out the attached form.
