PTSA Meeting: STUDY SKILLS FOR PARENTS-WEDNESDAY 7pm [NHS Library]
The first part of the meeting will be interactive -- a discussion with our own Tammy Small called "STUDY SKILLS FOR PARENTS" and the second part is our business meeting. We hope to see you there!
Open House/Back-To-School Night, Thursday
- 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. Juniors will meet in the outside gym. 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 4 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. - Membership forms will be available at the membership table.
- If you are still looking for your student's school pictures, these will also be available for pick-up at the membership table.
- Go Shopping! Browse the array of Newport booster "gear" in the Commons. Don't forget your checkbook! Junior Class Officers will be selling Entertainment Books and some leftover sweats from last year! The Grad Knight Committee will be selling beach towels! Remember - you need one of these and really should buy it Thursday night!
- And when you hear the Classroom Bucks announcement during 2nd period please 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.

To bring a guest, fill out the guest pass form. Then have your guest take it to their school, and have an administrator sign it and attach a business card. If your guest is not in high school, you will need to attach a copy of their driver’s license or other picture ID. Bring the completed form to the Main Office no later than 3:15 on the Wednesday before the dance. You will receive a guest pass that you will then use to buy your guest a ticket. Your guest will need to bring ID to the dance. http://schools.bsd405.org/nhs/homepage/activities2/index.htm
SAT Info
I have been providing information regarding SAT prep and practice tests. There is a lot of information coming our way from the school, college board and prep classes. Quite frankly this can be a little overwhelming for us as parents and just a little stressful for our students. I have had several questions regarding prep classes, how much $$ and how much time to invest to prepare for the test. I have asked the counselor to address these questions at our Junior Class Meeting at Open House. The great thing is that all of our Juniors will take the PSAT on Wednesday, October 14th. Once the test is returned, you will have the opportunity to see if your student might need additional help in a weak area and come up with a plan of action that might include a tutor or prep class. Most of the students will do just fine and a few might just surprise you! And they have many opportunities to take the test between now and their Senior year.
Here are a couple of articles that provide a little perspective and some food for thought...
Everyone Should Take the SAT Less Seriously -

Join us for our first PTSA meeting of the year - Wednesday, September 23rd 7:00 p.m. NHS Library
Your PTSA has declared this school year "YOUR YEAR OF CONNECTION"! That means we are planning to offer opportunities throughout the year to meet with other parents and hear from guest speakers about topics relevant to being a high school parent -- and discussing ideas and reactions as a group. In other words, to CONNECT with each other.
To kick off the year, we will address some issues where your student(s) may be inclined to DISconnect from the family -- especially as independence becomes a key issue. As much as we may want to be "cool parents" by letting students do their own thing, balance is also good. WHERE is the appropriate balance for you? for others? So this Wednesday (Sept. 23, 7pm in NHS Library) we want to offer the armor every good Knight needs ... STUDY SKILLS FOR PARENTS. Learn how to BE the way - not IN the way! Arm yourself in advance with your stories of what has worked and hasn't worked so we can network, share, laugh and brainstorm great ideas for working with our students (who STILL need our support and wisdom, even if they think they don't!).
Leading our first discussion is TAMMY SMALL, part of our own NHS PTSA Executive team. She knows this topic well with 28 years as an educator, teacher, high school counselor and national trainer.
The second part of our meeting we'll address business issues, which are in an Agenda on the NHS PTSA website (www.newportptsa.org). WE HOPE YOU START THIS YEAR WITH A CONNECTION!
(In October we'll talk about another kind of connection ... going online: What we should know about social networks, and independent Internet use).

Important first week news
It is so odd to be starting school before Labor Day! The kids will be in class bright & early Monday morning. So here's the news that is important this week for our students:
· They pick up final schedules in the Outside Gym first thing. Schedule issues - make an appointment with your counselor on the first day of school.
· They must display their parking passes (if they have one)
· They must have their summer reading done.
Lunch Schedule

Fall Packets and Check-In Day
Summer is winding down (and finally cooling down)...today was packet stuffing day! You should see these maybe Saturday or Monday. Just a couple of reminders about our Juniors Check-In Day.
Please READ the Back-to-school Check-In Day Agenda. This document has ALL the information that your student needs to navigate the morning.
Juniors will be "Checking-In" on Wednesday, August 19th based on alphabet arrival time beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Schedules are also included in the packet as well as a NHS Fee payment worksheet to determine fees owed for the 2009-2010 school year. If you are unsure of what the fees are for a class, just wait until school starts and your student can take care of class fees at that time.
Parking Pass information and requirements are included . Make sure that your student has ALL of the required paperwork and a separate check for the $40 parking fee. Please be reminded that a student may not have a metro pass AND a parking permit - only one or the other!
Mark your calendars! There will be a practice SAT test here at Newport to benefit ASPEN and Lifelong Aids Alliance. Saturday, September 12th 8:30-1:30 p.m. Admission $20. Flyer attached.
Let me know if you have any questions once your receive your packets.
