First through sixth grade students from Newport Heights Elementary

School and the West Newport community will have the opportunity to

participate in an after-school program beginning Sept. 10 at the West

Newport Community Center.

The program will be limited to 40 children and will feature homework

assistance with a lower child-to-staff ratio than the Newport Heights

Elementary School program offered in previous years.

Parents must register on-site from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept.

7. A $20 monthly registration fee per child is due at that time.

Parents of children attending Newport Heights Elementary may contact

the school district’s transportation department to purchase a bus pass

from Newport Heights Elementary to the West Newport Community Center at

883 W. 15th St.
