Nauset Regional Middle School ROCKS
A Weekly Update from NRMS - January 23, 2026
Reminders & Headlines
Text Message Alerts from NPS
Text messages from Nauset Public Schools are sent from 98900. Families should save this number in their contacts. Texts from all schools in Nauset come from this number. If a family opted out of text messages earlier this year and would like to re-enroll, they can re-enroll by texting START to 98900. This is how alerts about possible snow days will be shared.
TERM 2 INTERIM REPORTS
January 23rd marked the halfway point for Term 2. As you are able to monitor your child's progress on Aspen, our online grading and attendance program, we recommend you check your child's academic progress to date. On January 30th, Aspen will provide you with detailed information regarding your child's completion of assignments and attendance, as well as information on classwork, homework, quizzes, and test scores. Hopefully, this information will enable you to have meaningful conversations with your child about their progress and/or expectations.
Nauset App Help Page
Families should download the Nauset App to receive school updates, alerts, and messages. Please note: some people have mistakenly downloaded the Thrillshare App instead. The Thrillshare App is for staff only and does not allow families to log in. To help, we have created the Nauset App Help Page on the district website under the Students and Families tab. This page includes written guides and short tutorials to walk you through downloading and using the app. Visit the page here: Nauset App Help Page

Updates From The Principal
Hello NRMS Families,
We are all watching the weather to see if we will have a snow day next week. Please see the information above regarding text alerts, as this is how we will first notify everyone about a delayed opening or possible snow day. Some of you may have opted out of text alerts earlier this year. If you would like to opt back in to receive these alerts, you can do so by texting START to 98900. Let's hope this storm does not bring as much snow as predicted. Please note that any snow days will push the last day of school into the week of June 22. Please plan your summer schedules accordingly so that students do not miss any special end of year events. As we get closer to spring, this newsletter will begin to include a listing of end of year events so that you can save the dates on your calendar.
On Thursday of this week, our students attended an assembly on digital safety. The information was excellent and was well-received by students. A reminder that smart phones and smart watches are not permitted to be used at NRMS. Students must power off these devices and keep them stored in their locked locker for the entirety of each school day.
This morning, students watched their peers compete in the finals of the Spelling Bee. Congratulations to all of our scholars who qualified for the finals. Impressive!
Next week is the start of the 3rd quarter. Students will begin the next Exploratory courses on Monday.
Tonight is the winter social celebrating the midpoint of the school year.
Enjoy the weekend, the football game, and good luck with the snow storm.
Peter Cohen, Ed.D.
Principal

Middle School Athletics Booster Club
Dear Nauset Middle School Families,
We are reaching out to invite parents and guardians to become involved in the Nauset Middle School Athletics Booster Club. The Nauset High School Boosters Club established a middle school chapter several years ago, and we are now looking to rebuild and re-energize this group with the help of parent volunteers. A strong booster club plays an important role in supporting our student-athletes and enhancing the overall athletic experience.
Parent volunteers can help in many ways, including:
- Fundraising for new uniforms and athletic equipment
- Organizing team-building events and celebrations
- Assisting with school spirit initiatives such as Pack the Gym and Pack the Field events
- Supporting game-day and athletic event logistics
Whether you have a little time or a lot, your involvement can make a meaningful difference for our student-athletes and programs.
If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, please contact:
Cheryl Silvernail, President, Nauset High School Boosters Club nwbcexecs@gmail.com
Gregg Barr, Athletic Coordinator, Nauset Middle School barrg@nausetschools.org
Thank you for your continued support of Nauset Middle School Athletics. We look forward to working together to strengthen our programs and build school pride.
