- Who to Ask? Efficiently find most of the information you need on our webpage. If you still need help, please contact someone on our staff. Here’s a guide for who can help with what.
- Everyday Resources: Attendance, transportation, student meals at school, updating student data, checking grades, etc.
- Exploring Futures: A main category and several subcategories all about helping your student prepare to go directly into the job market or move on to college, technical schools, or other training.
- Financial Aid: News about what is available to pay for high school programs and college or other training after Newport graduation.
- Family News: Recent posts and articles from our weekly principal’s newsletter, our class bulletins, and other email newsletters.
- Student News: Students should follow the Newport Student Team in their Microsoft Teams app on their school laptop or any other device.
- Health & Safety: A category we hope not to need much longer, but one that focuses on Covid-related announcements and protocols.
- Guiding Your Student: This is our largest category and has many subcategories to help narrow your search. It houses a trove of helpful information for families about:
- how high school learning works;
- how you can help at home;
- how to navigate registration, college planning, and other milestones;
- special tasks and growth stages for each grade;
- suggestions for various adolescent development challenges; and
- other information that families typically need information about in order to best support and coach their student.
- Helping Students Thrive: These categories focus more on helping our students find information—a skill we hope you will coach them to learn as part of the critical self-advocacy abilities we must equip them with before graduation:
- Family Life Supports include a variety of school and community services for families in need of assistance with food, clothing, housing, health services, legal protections and more.
- Mental Health lists both professional counseling services you can access through Newport or the community. Plus, we have many tools that families and students can use to nurture their mental well-being and keep it strong.
- Stress was listed separately because everyone needs these coping strategies and skills to stay well and productive in today’s complex world.
- Student Resources lists several categories to help students (with you as their guide and coach) find the supports and tools to thrive academically.
