Grizzly Gram

Grizzly Families
Hey Grizzly Family,
The end of the year is getting closer and closer. As I was talking with some seniors this week, it seemed the finality of their high school career was starting to hit them. It is also starting to hit many of the staff members...including myself. This is a special group of seniors and I can't wait to see what they accomplish in life!
Seniors only have a few items left on their checkout list for the year (see below). Next weeks graduation will be absolutely amazing.
I also want to encourage all of you to check out our Newport High School Facebook page. It is a great place for information and more celebrations of our awesome Grizzly Family!
As always, if you ever have questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out...we’re here for you.
Go Grizzlies!

Chromebook Check In
Why are we checking in all Chromebooks?
It comes down to inventory and knowing exactly how many Chromebooks we have on hand at the high school. Cost of Chromebooks are going up every year and we want to be the best stewards of money as we can be at the high school. When we check these in, we can do the necessary checks to make sure students have a functioning Chromebook.
Thanks everyone!
Seniors & Parents
You can start checking in your Chromebooks at anytime between now and graduation.
Parents...if you have any Chromebooks laying around your house collecting dust or being used as a doorstop or paperweight...please bring them in to the front office!
Class of 2026 Senior Updates
Accepted Wall
Seniors and Senior Parents...if you have been accepted to a 4 year college/university, 2 year college/university, trade school or the military, please fill out an "Accepted Form" and turn in to Mr. Bouldin so your name can go up on the wall. Students must turn in the form and present an acceptance letter in order to go up on the wall. Without both of those items completed, your name will not be added. We are good, but can't read minds...get those items to Mr. Bouldin in order to be celebrated.
