The Disco Dance is the first Friday of school, Sept 3rd, 9:00 pm to Midnight.
Tickets will be sold Tuesday, Aug 31 (both lunches), Wednesday, Sept 1 (after school), and Thursday (both lunches and after school). No sales on Friday. Tickets are $5 w/o ASB and $4 with ASB. Completed Guest Passes due Wednesday, Sept 1 by 3:15 - no exceptions!. Guest Pass forms are available in the office. This pass is used to buy a ticket to the dance for the guest. Guest passes are not transferrable, and must be filled out for each dance, even if it is for the same guest. This process is to provide security for our dances, and assures we can identify everyone who attends the dance.

Fall Packet
Let's go through a few important items in the fall packet for the last time. Seniors turn out for Check-In Day on Wednesday, August 18th. Please follow the arrival times listed in the packet.
Have I ever mentioned how surprised students are when they show up to check-in day and realize they actually have to pay their fines? Your student will not be able to turn out for fall sports, purchase ASB, or receive their parking permit if a fine is not resolved. Your student can pay the fine prior to Check-In Day 1-12 and 1-3 M-F in the accountant's office or on Check-In Day.
Student Profile
Release of Information about student: for privacy reasons, many parents check N to the question here “Should directory information be released as explained above? Please read this paragraph carefully. It means that…..
· The family won’t be in the directory (unless they fill out the directory form and opt back in).
· The student’s name won’t appear on the honor roll or any other published list of student achievement.
· The student’s name won’t appear in the graduation program.
Just wanted to help you make sure you picked the option you intended here. If you have specific questions, the Registrar, Shelby Dawes, 456-7521, would be a good person to ask.
Yearbook - be sure to purchase one as you don't want to wait until June. Senior pictures - the yearbook uses the photo taken on check-in day for the Senior section. If these don't turn out well, retakes are scheduled for September 8th. If you have a wonderful senior photo taken at a studio, you can put this in the yearbook in the Baby Ad section. More information to follow later in the fall.
PTSA Information: Communication has been consolidated online www.newportptsa.org. Please fill out the goldenrod form for the Parent/Student directory and Knightline e-newsletter email updates. Please join the Newport PTSA with a single membership of $15 or family membership of $20. And there are lots of volunteer opportunities with the PTSA and Grad Knight!
Parking! Please read the policy and instructions thoroughly!
Yes, parking permits are $100. Fines must be paid prior to purchasing a parking permit. Proof of insurance and valid driver's license are required. Students and parents must read, complete, sign and date the parking application. If your student is unable to attend Check-In, parents can come in and take care of parking permits with ID and all the other student required documents at the scheduled time only. The same rules apply for parents and students...
The next flyer that I would like to draw your attention to is the Senior Activity/Expense timeline. Keep this handy as it is a pretty accurate timeline of activities as we lead up to graduation. This is different from the Senior Planning Calendar (attached) from the Counselors.
Graduation: Late breaking news that Graduation will be held this year at Hec Ed at the University of Washington campus on Monday, June 13th. More information will follow as the logistics are worked out.
Grad Knight 2011 "Uknighted We Stand" - this is the PTSA sponsored celebration after the graduation ceremony.
- Permission form. Today's ticket price are the lowest you will get! There will be a table at Check-In Days to turn in forms or ask questions.
- Volunteer form - we can't put this party on without your help!

- Homecoming Tailgate - come join us before the Homecoming Game at Newport on October 15th.
Senior Sweats - "To Infinity and Beyond" is the Senior theme for 2011. Please help support our student ASB officers and their fundraising efforts for prom and graduation. Sales from freshman sweats also support the senior fundraising efforts. And when the ASB officers start asking for volunteers for the Homecoming Dance (senior sponsored dance) be ready to volunteer!
