Spring Testing: With spring comes a wide variety of standardized tests that Walton must administer.  

Georgia Milestones End of Course Test: This year, Georgia will be implementing the Georgia Milestones End of Course Test to replace the previous EOCT. These tests have been redesigned to reflect new content and process standards. The Mathematics and English sections of the test are 70 minutes in length. In order to accommodate this amount of time, as well as use of the limited amount of computers at school, we will be following a modified bell schedule from Monday, April 27 until Thursday, May 14. While not every class will meet each day, students will receive equal instruction time over a two day period. For a list of test dates, visit the webpage: Spring Testing
