What to know about Clubs & Teams at Newport

In September student leaders will hold a Club Fair after school in the Gym. Students can see what’s available and talk to current officers and members about what to expect, etc.

• We strongly recommend that students participate in at least one team or club. It increases their sense of belonging to this community, which science shows will increase their success in high school. Don’t overdo. Pick a strong interest and focus on that.
• These are funded by ASB (and yearbook and yearbook-ad sales) so an ASB card is required to participate in any afterschool club or team. Purchase this on Touchbase.
• Many clubs hold fundraisers to support their activities.
• Clubs change every year because they are driven by student interest. Some die out and new ones are proposed and reviewed by the Student Senate each year.
• Club forms are due from officers this week. By the end of September, you can view the updated table of clubs, their officers and staff advisor, meeting times, and description at LINK. You are welcome to look at last year’s 65 clubs, which are still posted there.
• Clubs don’t hold meetings for new members until the end of September.
• Families must register their student in Final Forms before meetings begin.
