Dr. Mimi Gamel, 7th grade Assistant Principal

Mrs. Ashley Perry, 6th grade Assistant Principal

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th Grade Orchestras for their performances last week at the Georgia Music Educators Association Large Group Performance Evaluation.

LGPE is much like final exams for orchestra where each group is required to play music selected from a graded list for a panel of nationally recognized judges.

The students receive written and verbal comments from the judges as well as a professional recording of the performance. We are thrilled to share that both groups received straight superior ratings with the 8th grade receiving nearly perfect scores from all 3 judges! Thanks also to our faculty and parent volunteers for their help with this important educational opportunity.

Recently, students at Autrey Mill Middle School submitted their best showcase pieces of writing as part of the Young Georgia Author’s Writing Competition sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education. Students could submit a writing piece limited only by their creativity. We had an amazing turnout that include some stellar selections! These students earned the Best in Writing Award for their grade levels and moved on to the next round of the YGA writing competition- competing with students throughout Fulton County Schools:

Ashley W. from 6th grade with her piece “Untitled”, Alyona C. from 7th grade with her piece “Sachs Harbour”, and Rebecca W. from 8th grade with her piece “Revelation”.

Both Ashley’s and Rebecca’s writing pieces won at the Fulton County Level, beating out all other submissions from the county in their grades! Their work will go on to the next round and state level winners will be announced in May.

Please congratulate these students for their awesome achievement!

Parents and Rising Gladiators,

At this time, we are sending you the directions which will allow you to view the teacher recommendations for the next school year and to then add any electives you wish to take.

Please, follow the steps as outlined on the attached screenshots to navigate through the process. Students should only choose electives that they are qualified to register for even though others may appear as available.

Unfortunately, the program cannot determine if the student is qualified or not to take the course at this step. If they are not qualified, they will be removed from the course which will leave gaps in their schedule.

Attached you can also find a list of electives that they can choose from so that they can add the correct courses without any delays. Some courses are very sought after, and time is of the essence. Requests will be time stamped and those getting these in first will get the first seats in those classes. Ms. Hudson, the Master Scheduler from the high school, will be present during lunches next week to provide any assistance should students need help.

On March 1 students will have access to the final course request form where they can change the requests through the waiver process or change their electives.

If you have any questions about this process or course recommendations, please contact your student’s teachers or Ms. Turner at turnerA1@fultonschools.org .
