Reminder - Party Awareness Meeting - Wednesday, February 27, 7:00 pm, NHS Library
Come join us with Officer Greg Mills and Intervention Specialist Trevor VanDanAcker to discuss and be educated about drug & alcohol use happening at Newport. Learn what they are seeing, what signs to be looking for and strategies you can use for keeping your student sober & safe. This is your opportunity to ask questions of the experts on what to observe and what to do if your child tells you about someone they are concerned about. It is also a chance to talk to other parents and develop a network.
