Parents of Rising 9th Graders
All 8th grade students will attend one of three scheduled transition tours to Johns Creek High School during the week of January 21, 2020. Students will be assigned a day to visit the school with their first period class. The JCHS counselors will also be meeting with students on these days to discuss course electives.
We are excited about the opportunity for the students to explore the school layout, learn about course offerings, and ask questions.
Please complete the form from SmartWaiver by Wednesday, January 15, 2020, in order for your son/daughter to attend the visit.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Santos, 8th grade counselor, at santosd@fultonschools.org.
Thank you.

PBIS Rewards Program
It’s a new semester at the Mill, and we are ringing in the new year with the rollout of our PBIS rewards program. In the fall, we began teaching students our expectations according to our school wide matrix. This semester, students can earn digital points for meeting these expectations of responsibility and respectfulness. Points earned may be redeemed for prizes, school-wide events, special passes, and snacks.

7th Grade Rock Eagle Trip
We are proud to offer the Autrey Mill seventh grade students an exciting and educational trip to Rock Eagle 4H Center. The Rock Eagle Trip will take place March 18th – March 20th in Eatonton, GA.
We will be leaving from school on March 18th and returning in the afternoon of March 20th. We will have approximately 25-30 staff chaperones accompanying the students. We will travel to Rock Eagle in luxury motor coaches.
The cost of the trip is $190. All students who would like to participate will be given the opportunity to do so. We feel all students will benefit from this activity; however, attendance is not required and in no way affects a student's instruction or evaluation. We do reserve the right to cancel this field trip if sufficient money is not available to cover all costs.
Please contact Dr. Mimi Gamel (gamel@fultonschools.org) with any questions or concerns.
What to do now?
Information and Permission Form - Form is due: Friday, February 7th.
All students must have medical insurance coverage to attend the trip. When completing the permission form, have your student's medical insurance information handy. If your student does not have medical insurance, TW LORD is a low-cost option (1-800-633-2360).
Online School Payment - Payment is due: Friday, February 7th
Medication Forms - Due to Clinic: Friday, February 28th.
