Just a couple of reminders...

Just a couple of reminders as we end of the first week of school. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Disco Dance
The first dance of the year is on Friday Sept. 4th following the Varsity Football Game against Woodinville.
Students need to buy their tickets this week. No tickets will be available at the door. No sales on Friday. Remember, if your student does not attend school on Friday, he/she will not be admitted to the dance, even if he/she has purchased a ticket.

Cost $5.00 with ASB - $6.00 without Last day to buy tickets: Thursday 9/3 – Both Lunches and After School

Parking for Friday’s Football Game - vs Woodinville
Parking is prohibited in the Mockingbird hill neighborhood across 124th. Bellevue Police will be writing tickets! Carpool if you can.

ASB cards for students that missed check-in days
ASB cards are needed for athletic events and dances. In order to get into the football game without a charge, your student will need to purchase their ASB card by Friday in order to get on the class list indicating they have ASB. If they have ID, bring it.

If they want to purchase a disco dance ticket at the ASB price, your student will need to purchase their ASB card Thursday before or at lunch in order to get on the class list indicating they have ASB. If they have ID, bring it.

Picture Make-Up Day-for those students that missed check-in days
Wednesday, September 9th they will take their picture and receive their ASB card. If your student, doesn't purchase ASB, they still need to have their picture taken. All students are required to have a NHS ID card.

I will let you know the date for re-takes.

Kaplan PSAT Practice Test

A portion of the registration fees goes to support students at Newport. If the September class does not get more registrants, it will be cancelled.

This message is sent to all parents of students in the Class of 2011 for whom I've been able to find an email address. Requests for removal cheerfully honored. Email addresses are in the BCC line to preserve your privacy. I'm subject to all the usual PTA restrictions... no soliciting of a commercial, political, or ideological purpose. Questions, ideas and suggestions are welcome and encouraged.

==============================

Order deadline for Class Sweats
Orders for Class Sweats are due by Friday, September 19th. Sophomore ASB officers will be in the Commons at lunchtime on Thursday and Friday this week with samples, forms and taking orders. The money the students raise selling class sweats goes toward Prom and Graduation, which are funded entirely by the students. Let's help our kids have a Prom & Graduation to remember!!

==============================

Open House/Back-To-School Night/Classroom Bucks
Mark your calendars for Back-To-School Night on Tuesday, the 23rd. If you are new to Newport….plan to arrive early (mainly to be able to park) and attend the Grade Level meeting at 6:15. Location of the 10th grade meeting will be posted in the Commons. If you can't arrive early, please consider carpooling.

Classroom presentations start at 7:00. Bring a copy of your student's schedule. Please have your student fill out their schedule on page 5 of the Knightline. Maps will be available.

Be sure to pick up your student directory (free to all PTSA members). If you haven't joined, please do. A membership form is available on page 4 of the Knightline and forms will be available at the membership table.

Browse the array of Newport booster "gear" in the Commons. Don't forget your checkbook!

And when you hear the Classroom Bucks announcement during 2nd period give generously - this money goes straight into our classrooms in the form of Grants to our teachers.

Back-To-School Night is NOT a time to talk about your student's performance or grades. Teachers will offer a brief summary of curriculum. Conversations about individual needs/concerns are best addressed in a separate appointment.

==============================

Student Volunteers Needed for Back-To-School Night
Any student interested in volunteering at Open House/Back-to-School Night from 5:45-8:45pm on Tuesday, September 23rd should come to the main office to sign up. Information about specific assignments will then be distributed prior to the event. Three hours of community service will be earned for this activity.

==============================

Need a Bus Pass or a Locker?
Volunteers will be outside the office Thursday and Friday this week to hand out bus passes and assign lockers.

Information about your student's Metro Bus Pass that I found out today. Your student does NOT want to lose this pass. Lost bus passes are not replaced by the school. Your student will have to purchase a new pass and pay approximately $27 per month until the end of November when the next pass is issued. Bus passes can be purchased at Bartels.
