Keep the questions coming! I will be sending a detailed email regarding Graduation next week. Here's what is important to know for this week!
If your student has any FINES, please get these paid on or before Wednesday. Make sure they have turned in sports uniforms, etc. A list of students with fines is posted by the accountant's office. Every year that I have helped hand out Senior yearbooks and graduation tickets there are students that stand in line, get to the table and find out they have fines. I found out last week that my student had not paid her National Honor Society fees for the year and I was surprised to see other Seniors on the list. Be sure to have them check the list or check in with Mrs. Pierson.
Community Service forms ( BSD 40 hour graduation requirement) also must be turned in order to receive your graduation tickets.

Senior News! 15 Days to Graduation
We are really winding down here. Please pay attention to the information in these emails over the next 2 weeks. There will be more details regarding the Graduation venue at Hec Ed and Grad Knight as we get closer to June 13th. Remind your students to get their 40 hours of community service hours in and fines paid as soon as possible! They need this done in order to get their yearbooks and graduation tickets on June 1st!
Final Transcripts - information on how your student will notify Newport as to the college attending in the fall will be coming from the counselors soon. I believe the deadline to send these out (from Newport) will be on or before June 24th. As soon as I know, I will let you know!
Rumors of a Senior ditch day - FYI - 18 year olds will NOT be able to write their own notes for skipping school that day....
And remind them to be safe out there....

Prom protocal - I have had a few questions about prom - since this is a boy ask girl dance, the boy "generally" pays for tickets & dinner. Girls pay for photos.

------------------------

Volunteers - Thank you to those that have stepped up for our kids for Grad Knight. We still need approximately 10 volunteers for the all night event! Please contact Tira if you can help tira.villanueva@verizonbusiness.com
Prize Donations Needed!
As part of our Grad Knight event, we provide random prizes to our GRADUATES for various activities, games and contests that occur during GRAD KNIGHT! We are seeking donations of items our teens would want to use and/or take into college.

We would like these items before June 1st so we are able to ‘bundle’ prizes and/or assign prizes to the various activities (random, game prizes, contest prizes, etc). Ideally we are seeking 12 prizes and we can hold the actual ‘prize’ until the following morning and hand it to the students as they leave the bus.
Please let me know if you can help out. I will be at Newport on May 26th, May 27th and May 31st in the main office. Drop something by or have your student come see me and I will collect them on behalf of the Grad Knight Committee.

Senior Awards Night
You may have received an invitation to the Senior Awards Night. Every year Newport’s graduating class includes dozens of scholarship winners and academic achievers who deserve special recognition. The school could truly spend days honoring them all, but some of you might not have time for that. Instead, we have a lovely evening of awards. There are also a couple of musical performances. This is a school-sponsored event. Honorees are listed in the final edition of the Knightline each year. They cover pages!! Some honors are scholarships that students have applied for. Each department also recognizes students for achievement.
There are two honors that are given automatically to students who have earned them. The students who reach these heights sometimes get the idea that because there are so many of them it isn’t a very special award when just the opposite is true. These students should be proud of their accomplishments and smile when they receive their award!
The President’s Education Award is given to all students who have earned a 3.5 GPA or higher AND attained an SAT score in the 85th percentile or higher.
Washington State Honors is bestowed on students who finish in the top 10% of all Washington students for the year based on GPA and SAT/ACT scores
