Hey Greyhound Parents! 👋
A friendly reminder that we'll be testing at the high school this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 💪
Here are some things you can do to help your child ACHIEVE THEIR BEST: 💯
Get a good night's sleep each night. Well-rested brains work better! 😴
Eat a healthy breakfast on test days. Nourished bodies = focused minds. 🍎
Review key concepts with your child. A quick refresher can boost confidence. 📚
Encourage a positive attitude. Remind them that they're capable and prepared. 😊
Reassure them that feeling a little nervous is normal! Everyone does. 😌
Make sure iPads are charged and ready to go!

For Public Information:
With early voting underway and the March 5th election date approaching, Newport School District would like to provide the following information. You will see the millage rate of 37.00 mills on the ballot. This is the current rate and has been for several years. Newport School District is NOT seeking a millage increase. The millage is on the ballot every year, so we wanted to make sure that our community members are aware that this is the current rate and that there is no request for a millage increase.
Thank You.

NSD Board Approves Plan for Make-up Days
The Newport School Board approved a plan for making up days missed due to inclement weather earlier this semester. School will now be in session on Good Friday, March 29th, and the other two days missed will be added to the end of the school year calendar. Students will now be attending on May 17th and May 20th. Semester tests will be backed up two days and May 20th will be the last day for students in the district.
We would also like to remind everyone that the district will also be in session on February 16th. This is the date that was approved as the make-up day for April 8th, 2024. April 8th is the date of the eclipse and the board approved the district being out that day due to travel concerns and the number of visitors being projected for our area at that time.
According to Arkansas state law, schools may start school the week of August 19th, In the past, you could start on the Monday, week of August 19th. This coming year, August 19th falls on a Monday. Newport Schools are requesting your input as to whether you would be in support of a waiver requesting to start at an earlier date? The projected start date if granted would be on Thursday, August 15th.
