Grad Knight 2011 Tickets
Our students graduate on June 13, 2011. Immediately following the graduation ceremony at UW’s Hec Edmundson Pavilion is an all-night event for seniors only (and adult chaperones). Newport PTSA coordinates this exciting and safe all-night celebration called “Grad Knight”. It is an evening filled with friends, food, games and prizes and the making of many great memories. While fundraising is underway to cover part of the costs, Grad Knight tickets must still be purchased. Partial or full scholarships are also available (have your student see the counselors to obtain). We have over 400 seniors and we hope they will all celebrate their graduation night together in a most fun and safe environment!
Tickets are available at a special discounted price of $111 until November 1st. After November 1st, ticket prices are $130
Please visit us at http://www.newportptsa.org/NHSContent.asp?KEY=CLASS2011 Permission slip paperwork and payment processing are both available on this site. Or you can submit paperwork and checks to the school office. Even if your student isn't sure he/she wants to go, from past experience we have found that in the excitement of graduation many seniors decide to go at the last minute. You could anticipate this and give this ticket to your senior as a birthday or graduation gift.
Questions on registering for this incredibly memorable event can be sent to: jvancourt@yahoo.com or bradfamly@comcast.net If you know that your student will not be able to attend please email us so we can make note of this, too.

ESCRIP - Fundraising that's Easy and a Proven Success!
Newport PTSA has been generating more than $1,500 each year by using the eScrip program. The more parents, friends and family members that register, the more EASY money that PTSA receives. The money generated goes to Grad Knight for the current graduating year. Contact Teresa Pates for more information kplus4@msn.com
How does the eScrip program work?
* Supporters register any or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.
* Participating national, regional and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new merchants.
* By using these registered cards at participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider.
* Every month the enrolled organizations receive all merchant contributions made on behalf of all participants. A summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and contributions amounts are available online. Sign Up Now! https://secure.escrip.com/jsp/supporter/registration/step1.jsp

Open House - Thursday, September 23rd
This event has several components – Grade-Level Meeting, Open House to Meet Teachers, Classroom Bucks Fundraiser, and Shopping!!
Grade-Level Meeting: Parents and guardians from each class will meet in four different places around the school. Locations for these meetings will be posted in the Commons when you arrive. This meeting is scheduled for 6:15 pm until 6:55 pm and it will be conducted by one of the Senior counselors.
Open House: From 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm you will follow your child’s class schedule – 10 minutes per period and a 5-minute passing period. Your student will fill out a schedule for you to use during the Open House. Volunteers will have class schedules to hand out that evening but there will be very, very long lines that may delay you from getting to the Grade-Level Meeting or your student’s classrooms. Volunteers will also have school maps to distribute. Ask your student to write out their schedule.
Classroom Bucks: During 2nd period of Open House, a student volunteer will visit each classroom to collect cash and checks for this PTSA fundraiser. Over $15, 000 in grants were contributed last year to supplement supplies and equipment to enhance curriculum.
Shopping: There will be many tables set up throughout the Commons with representatives from the PTSA and various sports and clubs. You may visit these tables before, during, and after the events mentioned above. Groups will have information to hand out or various booster items to sell – blankets, sweatshirts, license plate covers, water bottles, etc. – so don’t forget your checkbook!
Open House volunteers needed! Does your student need community service hours? Help at Open House night on Sept 23rd from about 5:30 to 9:00 pm. Students sign up in the Main Office.

Does your student have 40 Community Service Hours to graduate?
As we begin the school year, there are approximately 160 seniors who have not completed the BSD 40 hours of community service graduation requirement. Is your student one of them? Check hours or print copies of the BSD and/or Knight Valor forms at http://www.newportptsa.org/NHSContent.asp?KEY=KNIGHTVALOR . Completed forms can either be turned into or mailed to the Newport counseling center. Waiting until next spring to address the requirement, or tracking down forms you thought had already been submitted causes stress on both the family and the pending graduate. Questions? Email Margaret Connelly, Knight Valor Chair (Margaret Connelly) at the nhscommserv@gmail address and/or email Sally Owen, Newport Counseling Center owens@bsd405.org

Open House - Thursday, September 23rd
This event has several components – Grade-Level Meeting, Open House to Meet Teachers, Classroom Bucks Fundraiser, and Shopping!!
Grade-Level Meeting: Parents and guardians from each class will meet in four different places around the school. Locations for these meetings will be posted in the Commons when you arrive. This meeting is scheduled for 6:15 pm until 6:55 pm and it will be conducted by one of the Senior counselors.
Open House: From 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm you will follow your child’s class schedule – 10 minutes per period and a 5-minute passing period. Your student will fill out a schedule for you to use during the Open House. Volunteers will have class schedules to hand out that evening but there will be very, very long lines that may delay you from getting to the Grade-Level Meeting or your student’s classrooms. Volunteers will also have school maps to distribute. Ask your student to write out their schedule.
Classroom Bucks: During 2nd period of Open House, a student volunteer will visit each classroom to collect cash and checks for this PTSA fundraiser. Over $15, 000 in grants were contributed last year to supplement supplies and equipment to enhance curriculum.
Shopping: There will be many tables set up throughout the Commons with representatives from the PTSA and various sports and clubs. You may visit these tables before, during, and after the events mentioned above. Groups will have information to hand out or various booster items to sell – blankets, sweatshirts, license plate covers, water bottles, etc. – so don’t forget your checkbook!
Open House volunteers needed! Does your student need community service hours? Help at Open House night on Sept 23rd from about 5:30 to 9:00 pm. Students sign up in the Main Office.

Does your student have 40 Community Service Hours to graduate?
As we begin the school year, there are approximately 160 seniors who have not completed the BSD 40 hours of community service graduation requirement. Is your student one of them? Check hours or print copies of the BSD and/or Knight Valor forms at http://www.newportptsa.org/NHSContent.asp?KEY=KNIGHTVALOR . Completed forms can either be turned into or mailed to the Newport counseling center. Waiting until next spring to address the requirement, or tracking down forms you thought had already been submitted causes stress on both the family and the pending graduate. Questions? Email Margaret Connelly, Knight Valor Chair (Margaret Connelly) at the nhscommserv@gmail address and/or email Sally Owen, Newport Counseling Center owens@bsd405.org

I hope everyone is off to a great start to the school year! We are heading for a busy fall...
I am attaching the Senior Planning Calendar/checklist that I sent in a previous email. This is a great way to keep your student on task regarding college applications, financial aid deadlines and general college planning. Print it out and keep a copy for yourself and give one to your student! Please note the college visit schedule listed below. If your student is considering other options, Barb Mercier in the Career Center (office located between the accountant and ASB offices) is a fabulous resource!
Additionally, I came across an interesting blog on the Washington Post after listening to a NPR feature on Friday regarding financing college education/student loans. This is a blog that has information/advice for both students and parents http://voices.washingtonpost.com/campus-overload/

Fall Packet
Let's go through a few important items in the fall packet for the last time. Seniors turn out for Check-In Day on Wednesday, August 18th. Please follow the arrival times listed in the packet.
Have I ever mentioned how surprised students are when they show up to check-in day and realize they actually have to pay their fines? Your student will not be able to turn out for fall sports, purchase ASB, or receive their parking permit if a fine is not resolved. Your student can pay the fine prior to Check-In Day 1-12 and 1-3 M-F in the accountant's office or on Check-In Day.
Student Profile
Release of Information about student: for privacy reasons, many parents check N to the question here “Should directory information be released as explained above? Please read this paragraph carefully. It means that…..
· The family won’t be in the directory (unless they fill out the directory form and opt back in).
· The student’s name won’t appear on the honor roll or any other published list of student achievement.
· The student’s name won’t appear in the graduation program.
Just wanted to help you make sure you picked the option you intended here. If you have specific questions, the Registrar, Shelby Dawes, 456-7521, would be a good person to ask.
Yearbook - be sure to purchase one as you don't want to wait until June. Senior pictures - the yearbook uses the photo taken on check-in day for the Senior section. If these don't turn out well, retakes are scheduled for September 8th. If you have a wonderful senior photo taken at a studio, you can put this in the yearbook in the Baby Ad section. More information to follow later in the fall.
PTSA Information: Communication has been consolidated online www.newportptsa.org. Please fill out the goldenrod form for the Parent/Student directory and Knightline e-newsletter email updates. Please join the Newport PTSA with a single membership of $15 or family membership of $20. And there are lots of volunteer opportunities with the PTSA and Grad Knight!
Parking! Please read the policy and instructions thoroughly!
Yes, parking permits are $100. Fines must be paid prior to purchasing a parking permit. Proof of insurance and valid driver's license are required. Students and parents must read, complete, sign and date the parking application. If your student is unable to attend Check-In, parents can come in and take care of parking permits with ID and all the other student required documents at the scheduled time only. The same rules apply for parents and students...
The next flyer that I would like to draw your attention to is the Senior Activity/Expense timeline. Keep this handy as it is a pretty accurate timeline of activities as we lead up to graduation. This is different from the Senior Planning Calendar (attached) from the Counselors.
Graduation: Late breaking news that Graduation will be held this year at Hec Ed at the University of Washington campus on Monday, June 13th. More information will follow as the logistics are worked out.
Grad Knight 2011 "Uknighted We Stand" - this is the PTSA sponsored celebration after the graduation ceremony.
