District puts new programs in place to help students "catch up"

The Newport Board of Education has unanimously voted to reject the provisions of a recently-enacted state law that allows students to repeat a grade of school while announcing new programs designed to help students catch up following the loss of in-person instruction due to COVID.

All photos of seniors receiving their diplomas and senior group photos have been shared though student emails. Prints can be made upon request. Congratulations!
