Welcome Back/ Fall Sports Assembly


There will be an assembly next Friday, September 11.

All-School Play

Try-outs for the comedy, “You Can’t Take it With You,” are September 16 and 17 from 3:15 pm until 5:15 pm in the Drama Room (1207). Your student should plan to attend both days of try-outs. Try-out information is located outside the ASB Secretary’s Office. If you would like to check out a script or have any questions, see Mr. Richards.

Sophomore Class Sweats

Students will be able to look at apparel samples and turn in order forms during both lunches next week. The Sophomore Class faculty advisor, Van Onishi, will be on hand with a class representative during first lunch. He is looking for parent volunteers to attend second lunch to assist the students. An adult must be present so please volunteer to make sure that students at second lunch have a chance to see the clothing samples. The time commitment is very brief:


Tuesday, September 8 from 12:10 pm to 12:40 pm;
Thursday, September 10 from 12:25 pm to 12:55 pm; and/or
Friday, September 11 from 11:20 am to 11:50 am.

If you can help at any or all of these lunches, please respond this weekend to me or Mr. Onishi (onishiv@bsd405.org). Thanks for your assistance!

Computer Passwords

Students need to update their computer password by Friday, September 12. All passwords were reset over the summer. Passwords can be changed before school, during lunch, and after school in the Library.

Peer Tutors Needed for Newport’s Peer Tutoring Program

Newport has a Peer Tutoring Program! We need more tutor volunteers – especially in the areas of science, math, and world language. Students who want to be a Peer Tutor can find applications in the counseling office. Peer Tutors are volunteers who want to help their peers and gain valuable experience in how to teach, clarify, and communicate. Peer Tutors will receive community service hours for their efforts.

Students who need extra assistance in a specific class may request a tutor by turning in a Peer Tutor Request Form, available in the counseling office. If you have any questions about the program, contact Ms. Klug at klugk@bsd405.org or 425-456-7451.
