                Goodbye - This is my last newsletter as principal of NHE.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my four years in this role and want to thank the staff, students and parents for working to make this school community such a great place for kids to learn and grow.  This is my 35th year working in public education and I look forward to rejoining the ranks of classroom teachers in Bellevue. Next year I will serve as a part-time mathematics teacher at Sammamish High School in Bellevue – teaching Advanced Placement Calculus BC and Pre-Calculus.  Best wishes to all.  Stephen Marafino

 

                Introduction Letter from New Principal Amy MacDonald - Ms. MacDonald will be taking over the role of Principal of Newport Heights Elementary School effective July 1, 2010.  She has composed a letter of introduction to the NHE community that is posted on the NHE school website at http://curriculum.bsd405.org/sites/schools/NH/default.aspx

 

                Yearbooks - Yearbooks have arrived!!   All students who have pre-ordered a yearbook will receive it on Monday.  If your student did not order a book and would like one, we have a limited number left and they will be for sale in the office on Tuesday morning from 7:30-8:00am.  Please bring a check made payable to NHE PTA for $15.

 

                No Change in School Starting and Ending Times for 2010-2011At the end of April, it was announced that the school starting and ending times at NHE were to be one hour later in the 2010-2011 school year.  It was just announced by the BSD Transportation Department that this change will not occur and that the school starting and ending times at NHE for the next school year will remain the same as they were this year (Start time 8:00 a.m. M-F and end time 2:25 p.m. on Mon., Tue., Thur. & Fri. and 12:05 p.m. on Wed.).  See the letter posted on the NHE website for the details on this decision. http://curriculum.bsd405.org/sites/schools/NH/default.aspx

 

                Green Team - Congratulations to the NHE Green Team for its work to earn NHE the designation of Level Two of the King County Green Schools Program.  For Level One, the focus was on waste reduction and recycling. This year NHE successfully completed the Level Two criteria for energy conservation – which included the initiation of a food composting program at all lunches. A special thank you to Ms. Kerry Rogahn, NHE Administrative Intern, for her work in organizing and guiding the Green Team to complete the requirements for this designation. See the following link for more information on the program: www.kingcounty.gov/GreenSchools.
