Newport Heights Gala is just around the corner and the organizers are in need of a lot of help.
This is a very important event for our school and to help support our principal, Dr. Suhr. He came to Newport Heights with a vision of making Newport Heights Elementary one of the best schools in the district. Well, he has gone above and beyond making our school one of the strongest in the STATE OF CALIFORNIA!!
Our children’s test scores continue to improve with double-digit percentages and that is because of all the wonderful support provided by all the families involved with the school.
The Foundation is now asking for help again with organization of the Gala.
What can you do to help?
We are looking for go-getters to bring in items for bid.
We are looking for people to help with raising funds to help put on the event.
We are looking for people to help with setting up the event.
We are looking for people to help in any way possible.
Please contact Sue Sandberg, Kathy Sharp, or Gershon Alaluf and one of them can give you more ideas how your precious time can be utilized.
There is the threat of a 12 MILLION DOLLAR budget cut in our district. The fact that they would consider taking away any money from education is concerning but unfortunately that is reality. Please find out what you can do to help.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
GERSHON ALALUF, FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER
Dear Newport Heights Parents:
Recently there have been some cases of lice at school. In an effort to be proactive, attached is the Parent's Guide to Head Lice in both English and Spanish. http://newportheights.schoolloop.com/file/1209231347055/1221411136450/5159002987307909624.pdf

Thank you,

DRIVING STUDENTS TO SCHOOL/ TRAFFIC
For the safe daily delivery and pick up of all students during the school year, please be aware of and observethe following SAFETY RULES:
1. DO NOT PARK in any spaces in the parking lot as these are reserved for STAFF ONLY.
2. Please use the 15th Street gate to drop off students directly onto the playground.
3. If absolutely necessary, use the front large circle drive to drop off your student.
HOWEVER, you may only drive through and STOP, DROP, and ROLL at the designated SIGN, “Student Drop Off.” Do not take time CONVERSING, as you will cause cars behind you to back up and cause congestion.
4. Do NOT park by the curb. RED and BLUE Curbs are ILLEGAL for stopping or parking.
5. There is ONLY a RIGHT-HAND TURN entering the lot and a RIGHT-HAND TURN exiting the lot. PLEASE respect and abide by this safety guideline.
6. If you need to leave your car, please park on the street. There is ample parking on 15th Street.
7. The small circle drive is for BUSES only. Children enter that area via a cross walk.
8. Always be patient and respectful.
9. PARKING in the HANDICAPPED ZONE is AGAINST THE LAW AND CAN RESULT IN TICKETING. It is reserved primarily for STUDENTS with handicaps.
10. STUDENT PICK UP is conducted in the large circle parking lot in much the same way as drop off. Parents should stop at the “Student Pick Up” sign and not stop in front of the school.
11. If your child is not immediately available, we ask that you circle the lot as many times as it takes him/her to get to the correct area.
12. Please help reinforce the importance of your child going to that area directly after school.
13. If you are going to be late PLEASE call the office. Children that are not picked up promptly will be asked to go to the office area until their parent comes in to check them out.
14. Habitual lateness in picking up a child will result in a conference to develop a plan.
Students may NOT stay at school unsupervised.
