Kaplan PSAT Practice Test
Aspen Student volunteers are collecting registration forms and fees this week. Deadline for turning in forms will be September 10th during both lunches. The practice test will be on Saturday, September 12th.
-----------------------------------------
SAT Prep Class
Newport's Honor Society is sponsoring a fundraiser with SAT Prep Inc. A discounted 6 class course & practice test will be offered in September, February and March. A portion of the registration fees goes to support students at Newport. If the September class does not get more registrants, it will be cancelled. Contact Helene Tate tateh@bsd405.org if you have any questions.
You can find forms and additional information at the PTSA website under Communications - Juniors

All-School Play
Try-outs for the comedy, “You Can’t Take it With You,” are September 16 and 17 from 3:15 pm until 5:15 pm in the Drama Room (1207). Your student should plan to attend both days of try-outs. Try-out information is located outside the ASB Secretary’s Office. If you would like to check out a script or have any questions, see Mr. Richards.

Peer Tutors Needed for Newport’s Peer Tutoring Program
Newport has a Peer Tutoring Program! We need more tutor volunteers – especially in the areas of science, math, and world language. Students who want to be a Peer Tutor can find applications in the counseling office. Peer Tutors are volunteers who want to help their peers and gain valuable experience in how to teach, clarify, and communicate. Peer Tutors will receive community service hours for their efforts. Students who need extra assistance in a specific class may request a tutor by turning in a Peer Tutor Request Form, available in the counseling office. If you have any questions about the program, contact Ms. Klug at klugk@bsd405.org or 425-456-7451.
---------------------------------------
Carpool Parking Permits
If your student has a parking permit, and wants to share it with someone else to carpool, please come to the office. The permit can be changed to a carpool permit if you and the carpool member(s) fill out the forms. Parking passes are very limited so this is an option that your student should consider.
