With the number of absences growing daily due to illness among students and staff, Newport School District will be closed to students this Thursday. On the school calendar, Friday was a scheduled teacher work day with no students scheduled to be on campus. We are hopeful that taking the time off from Thursday until Monday of next week will allow time for the majority of our students and staff to recuperate. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but when taking the health of our students and staff into consideration, I believe this is the best course of action at this time. Again, there will be no students on campus Thursday, February, 6th, and Friday, February 7th. Closure on Thursday will not require the day to be made up as there is time built into the current calendar to account for the day. Take Care and Get Well!
Go Hounds!
