Advisor Responsibilities

Building Use Form:
Anytime your group plans on using a school facility such as a classroom, the Commons, Library, or Gym - then you should fill out a Building Use Form. This form helps to ensure the custodian staff is prepared, there are no conflicts with other groups, and that the event has had the proper approvals. There are two parts to the form:
Building Use Form - Front Side
Building Use Form - Back Side

Class Advisors: There is a specific job responsibility list for class advisors.

Event Promotion:
Information on how to do get an activity on the event calendar is available here. You can also utilize the PTSA newsletter for publicity. All posters and fliers in the school must be signed by either Mr. James or Mr. Krieger before they can be put up.

Flyers – There are sufficient cork tack boards around campus to handle the posting of flyers. Please limit the number of flyers that your group posts (up to 10) and take responsibility for having your students promptly remove them once your event has been completed. Assigning a club or group member to that removal process is highly recommended. Should a particular group consistently not remove their posters, fliers, and/or notices in a timely manner (day following the event), privileges may be revoked.

Posters – We realize there will be a need at times for posters to be hung. The railing facing the ASB offices in the Commons has been designated for the hanging of posters. Only blue painter’s tape may be used on these railings. Please limit the size of your posters so that they will fit in between the light post sections. Each group may hang no more than one large poster in this area so that 6-8 groups may use this space at any given time.

Extended Field Trips:
If you plan on going on an Extended Field Trip, it is important to fill out the proper paperwork. An Extended Field Trip is one that meets any of the following criteria:
1. 300 miles away from Newport High School
2. Out of State
3. Overnight
If your plans meet any one of these three criteria, then you must pick up an Extended Field Trip packet from Mr. James. There are strict deadlines on turning this paperwork in (months ahead of time).

Fundraising:
The advisor should ensure that all fundraising is following the proper guidelines. Anytime your group handles money (selling items, raising funds, donations, etc) - then you must fill out a fundraiser request form and turn this in at least one week in advance. Information is available on the fundraising page.

Meetings:
If you schedule a club meeting after school - then it cannot start any earlier than 3:10pm because of tutorial and passing time. This is the same rule for athletics practice. This includes class officers and advisors as well - meetings cannot happen during tutorial time.

Motivation & Support:
The students should be doing a majority of the leadership, however, there will be times when the they may need some advice and support. A non-threatening way to get the student leaders to think about where they are currently at is a self-evaluation of the club/group. An example of that is available here. The club officers/members could fill this out independently or together as a method to start a discussion on how to improve the club.

Projects:
Your club or organization will most likely be involved in various projects throughout the year. Remember there are certain things to consider when planning projects:

-Fundraisers: Go to the fundraising page for specific information on this.
-Movie Nights: Copyright law governs the public performance of movies. You cannot simply rent a video to show to a club or group on campus. A handout about this is found here.
-Event Contracts: If you are planning an event that requires a contract, then you must get the signature of the principal. The building principal is the only person on campus that is authorized to sign a contract for our school or student organization.
-Supervision: If your club is doing some activity (on or off campus), then you or another school representative must be supervising. If you have any questions about supervision, please contact the Activities Director.

Transportation:
If your group needs a bus, please check with Ms. Hurst in the ASB office. You should give her at least two weeks notice when booking this kind of transportation. If your group is not taking a bus, there are four forms that may apply to you:

Parent Drivers:
-Form for the parent driver
-Form for the student(s) that are riding with the parent

Student Drivers:
-Form for the student driver
-Form for the student(s) that are riding with the student
