Thanks everyone for letting me know that the code that I gave you didn't work (it was last year's). I have attached an updated flyer. Try this: Go to www.hjeshare.com and enter the school code 2040054
Jostens - Grad Products Ordering - Monday, November 22nd
Reminder that tomorrow during both lunches Mike Annis will be at Newport to take order forms for graduation. Depending on what you are ordering, payment or a deposit must accompany the order form.
Here's some additional information that should be helpful:
- Each grad purchases a red gown and the cap/tassel. If you previously purchased a gown you may re-use it (or borrow a neighbor's). They iron beautifully. Students can use their siblings gowns as well.
- If you borrow a gown or have one handed down by a sibling, you can just order a Cap & Tassel Only. The cost is $20. (Look on the order form right hand corner Section 4 above Total Your Order and you will see the area to check). The Newport Class of 2011 flyer in the cap & gown section has the price listed.
- If you are thinking of ordering announcements, do it now. If you decide you want announcements later in the year, it may be too late. Prices are higher and the announcement design will be different. Jostens says their average student order is about $120.
- A $60 deposit is requested when you place your order (cash, check or credit card). Josten's will send an invoice for the balance.
- Caps/gowns and announcement orders will be picked up in school April 2011

Recommend reading for senior parents:
The Launching Years: Strategies for Parenting from Senior Year to College Life
By Laura S. Kastner, PhD (from UW) and Jennifer Wyatt, PhD
Recommended by a parent of a current college freshman! The book is broken into two parts – senior year of high school and freshman year of college. It really helped to get past the yelling, nagging, giving consequences phase of parenting and focus on negotiations and trying to treat your more like an adult. As with anything else about development, each kid is different and will approach these new mile stones with different points of view. This book does a great job of covering most of the possibilities.

November News!
As I said earlier in the year - this is a year of "lasts". For many of our senior athletes their season is over or they are heading onto state athletic events. I have listed some events below, yet if there are more to recognize, please let me know (not all websites are updated). At the end of the fall season, I would like to give "kudos" to our Senior students for athletic, academic or fine arts efforts! So if you have a student that should be recognized, please let me know that too!
I have had questions regarding Baby ads for the yearbook and just wanted to let you know that info will be coming out once it is determined by the yearbook publishing company. Per the Yearbook advisor, it is usually mid-January, early February. I will keep you posted and provide this info as soon as I get it.
Just a reminder that November 17th, Wednesday at 12:30 our seniors will be meeting with Jostens regarding graduation (caps, gowns, announcements, etc.)

Seattle National College Fair: Sunday, November 14, 2010 from 12-4pm and Monday, November 15, 2010 from 9am-12pm at the Washington State Convention Center. Admission is FREE! Online student registration is now open! When your students pre-register, a bar coded confirmation page is produced. When printed and brought to the fair, this page acts as the student’s electronic ID. Utilizing this barcode eliminates the need for students to fill out inquiry cards at the booths they visit. Online registration leaves more time for students and parents to chat with more admissions representatives. Encourage your students to register before they come to the fair! For more information visit www.nationalcollegefairs.org.
Here is how the process works:
Step 1: Visit www.gotomyncf.com prior to attending the fair to register. Students will be asked a few short questions regarding their graduation information, home address, and interested major so schools can send them information after the Fair.
Step 2: Complete the online registration form. Print the barcode identification page and have students bring it along to the fair.
Step 3: Colleges at the fair will scan the student's barcode to access their information, allowing more time for one-on-one conversations and less time filling out inquiry cards.
=================

Seattle National College Fair: Sunday, November 14, 2010 from 12-4pm and Monday, November 15, 2010 from 9am-12pm at the Washington State Convention Center. Admission is FREE! Online student registration is now open! When your students pre-register, a bar coded confirmation page is produced. When printed and brought to the fair, this page acts as the student’s electronic ID. Utilizing this barcode eliminates the need for students to fill out inquiry cards at the booths they visit. Online registration leaves more time for students and parents to chat with more admissions representatives. Encourage your students to register before they come to the fair! For more information visit www.nationalcollegefairs.org.
Here is how the process works:
Step 1: Visit www.gotomyncf.com prior to attending the fair to register. Students will be asked a few short questions regarding their graduation information, home address, and interested major so schools can send them information after the Fair.
Step 2: Complete the online registration form. Print the barcode identification page and have students bring it along to the fair.
Step 3: Colleges at the fair will scan the student's barcode to access their information, allowing more time for one-on-one conversations and less time filling out inquiry cards.
