The school calendar had time built in to cover missed days due to inclement weather through the year. However, this year we were forced to miss more time than was built in. The district is on a minutes calendar and must meet the time required by the state for in seat learning time. Due to our missed times , the district's last day for students will now be May 23rd . School will be dismissed at 12pm (noon) on that day. If we are forced to miss any further time in our normal calendar, this will have to be adjusted to account for that amount of missed time.
Bus 11 will be running late this afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience
Bus 9 will be late this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience

It appears the incoming weather has been forecasted to reach us around 3pm. With rain and winds up to 30 mph. This is very concerning when considering travel for teachers, students, and buses. The chance for tornadoes looks to be a little later with a greater chance between 4 and 9 pm. To ensure the safety of all our staff and students, Newport School District will dismiss at 1pm today.
Please understand, should a tornado warning be issued at any time when students are on campus, they will not be released until the warning has been canceled. We take the well being and security of your children very seriously and want to ensure that they are safe when in our care.
The tornado shelter located on the high school campus behind the Freshman Academy will also be open this evening. The shelter located at 400 N. Pecan will be open as usual.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Please stay safe
