Dear Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to the Newport Public Schools and its website.
Newport Public Schools offer many great programs to
help your child learn and develop into a responsible,
contributing citizen. We believe that every student
should be challenged and supported throughout their
educational career. Principals, teachers, and staff are
dedicated to making a positive difference in your
child’s life. It is important that you know that we
believe we are partners with you in this process, and
we welcome your active involvement in your son’s or
daughter’s education.
It is important that you encourage your child to take
advantage of all of the wonderful programs that we have
here in Newport. Encourage your child to do well in
school, reinforce that homework is important, and let
them know that you care about their good behavior and
academic achievements.
The most important thing that you can do to help us to
have your child succeed is to develop open lines of
communication. If there are issues, do not hesitate to
contact your child’s teacher, guidance counselor, or
Principal. Honest and open communication with staff is
the best way your child can succeed. The district has
policies on parent involvement and promotion/retention
with which you should be familiar. If you have any
questions regarding these policies, it is important
that you ask about them as soon as possible. I believe
that the educational offerings that we provide all of
our students in the Newport Public Schools are
outstanding and appreciate the fact that you have
entrusted your children to us.
I wish you and your child a positive experience, and
thank you for your cooperation in our joint endeavor.
Sincerely,
John H. Ambrogi, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
