It’s your Senior’s final semester at Newport!! Do whatever you can to guard against the dreaded plague, Senioritis. Colleges do check grades of their admitted students.
The counseling center wants to remind you that college scholarship information is available on the Newport High website and in the counseling center. Do you know the biggest problem most scholarship committees have? Getting applicants. There are usually too few applicants. Don’t let any of this wonderful scholarship money pass you by – apply!!
Thanks to everyone that attended our Vino fundraising event on Sunday. It was a great turnout and a wonderful opportunity to socialize with old and new friends!

Grad Knight Update
If you can believe it we have only 4 months to go until our kids pick up their diplomas and head off to Grad Knight! We are happy to report that over 50% of you have already purchased your tickets which is *great* and we thank you for doing this. The price is currently $130.00 but will be going up in April so don't delay in going online to purchase your tickets or pick up a permission form in the office and drop a check off in the Grad Knight box as soon as possible. This is a wonderful way to reward your child for all of their hard work and give them an opportunity to celebrate with their friends one last time as a group.
BSD Graduation Requirement
We currently have 140 seniors who have not satisfied the 40 hours of community service BSD graduation requirement. Is your student one of them? Check community service hours at www.newportptsa.org and click the Community Service tab. Forms may be turned into the counseling center anytime or on Tuesday, February 15, PTSA will be collecting community service forms during lunch.
