WELCOME NEWMAN NIAA

INFORMATION ABOUT 10TH GRADE TRIP TO SOUTH PADRES ISLAND

Please Note: 

A Message from Mrs. Shields

Students will be traveling May 25th-28th

• Students need to arrive on campus no later than 8:00am, 5/25
• Pack light (one bag)
• Don’t forget swimsuits and sunblock (girls need a t-shirt cover-up for their suits)
• NIA dress code still applies (whatever is allowed on free dress day is appropriate)
• Bring money for snacks or souvenirs

The kids will have the opportunity to play on the beach, but no deeper than knee deep in the water. If you DO NOT want your child in the water, please let me know. 

FUNDRAISING

We had hoped to raise enough funds to cover all of the cost of meals, but that just didn’t happen. I know for some this will not be a problem, but for other's it might present a financial hardship. In an effort to offset the cost for those families, we are hosting a GARAGE SALE

SATURDAY & SUNDAY, this weekend. I am requesting donations to the sale, ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE TRIP, anything not sold will be donated to MISSION ARLINGTON.

Donations can be left at:

6704 High Country Trail

Arlington, TX 76016

Friday before 2:30pm or after 4:00pm

We will not have a parent meeting before the trip, so please email me with any questions and I will respond to the group as a whole. If you’re wondering about something, someone else is too.

Please contact me with any questions,

Susan Shields, Parent Volunteer Trip Coordinator

Greetings Newman Parents,

This is finals week at Newman and ELA students will be taking exams covering non-fiction and poetry.
Also, students are to assemble Poetry Portfolios - they have been given a rubric to guide them through the process plus a PDF of the rubric has been uploaded to CANVAS under "Assignments"

Students will also have a 5th Six Weeks Binder check. Last week I passed out ELA class progress reports and students may use those to assemble their work for the binder check.
Both the Poetry Portfolio and Binder Check at for a test grade and may be turned in by Friday (which is also early release 1230pm), as grades have to be turned in by teachers on Monday.

Have a great week!

5th Six Weeks...STAAR Testing...

Welcome Newman Warriors and Warrior Parents,
Sadly, ClassJump will be shutting down permanently April 1st. Many teachers across the country as disappointed at this because we find ClassJump so useful. Newman will be working toward another useful tool for teachers, students and parents to communicate, send and receive assignments so STAY TUNED!
Blessings!
