Updates From The Principal
Hello NRMS Families,
I hope everyone has adjusted to the time change for Daylight Savings Time and that you enjoyed the brief tease of spring weather we had earlier in the week.
On Wednesday, March 18, we hope that you will join us for the Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser and stay for the Talent Show. We need some help with the dinner. Please consider donating time or food for this event. You can sign up to assist here: Spaghetti Dinner Sign up Genius. Please plan on attending the event, enjoying a meal and celebrating our talented students (and some staff) that are performing at the Talent Show. Dinner and a Show? It promises to be a fun evening.
We have decided to postpone tonight's movie night, as there were some scheduling conflicts. We will reschedule the movie night soon.
The second trimester marking period for our year-long courses ends next Friday. Students are encouraged to check in with teachers and turn in any missing assignments prior to the end of the term.
Enjoy the weekend.
Peter Cohen, Ed.D.

Spring Athletics Information
Dear Nauset Regional Middle School Parents & Student-Athletes,
NRMS is gearing up for the upcoming 2026 Spring Sports Season here at NRMS. This Spring, we will be offering Track & Field, Softball, and Baseball for students in grades 6 through 8.
REGISTRATION
Registration for the spring sports season will begin on Monday, March 2nd and end on Friday, March 20th.
To sign up for participation, please visit Arbiter Sports by clicking: HERE.
Please ensure that you complete the registration by the deadline, which is March 20th.
PHYSICAL
Before students can participate in tryouts, it is imperative that they have a valid in-person physical examination on file with the nurse's office at NRMS dated within the last 13 months. If your student-athlete's physical examination is not up to date, we urge you to schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience to ensure timely clearance for participation in the tryouts. For questions regarding physicals, contact our school nurse Bonnie Hartung (hartungb@nausetschools.org)
CONCUSSION EDUCATION
Students must complete the online concussion education course for students. Select Massachusetts and download the course. The course is free.
Email a screenshot/picture of the completion certificate to the NRMS Athletic Director Greggory Barr at barrg@nausetschools.org . The certificate will have a completion code on the bottom right of the certificate. The course certificate is valid for one year.
ELIGIBILITY
Academic eligibility for participation in Spring sports is determined by their report cards. Students with two or more failing grades, or those with one failing grade and an incomplete, will be deemed academically ineligible for participation. Additionally, students intending to try out for teams will undergo an eligibility review to assess their adherence to the Nauset ROCKS principles. Students who have failed to demonstrate these principles may be denied the opportunity to participate.
SPRING SPORTS MANDATORY MEETING
The Spring sports Student Athlete meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 19th @ 2:45pm in the Nauset Regional Middle School cafeteria. There will be a Virtual Parent meeting on March 19th at 6:30pm. meet.google.com/gfn-abvd-jss
TRYOUTS/PRACTICE START DATES
The first day of Spring sports is scheduled for Monday, March 23rd.
We look forward to another exciting season of teamwork, skill development, and sportsmanship. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our athletic programs.
Sincerely,
Greggory Barr
NRMS Athletic Director
Please Help Us Out With the Spaghetti Dinner
Dear NRMS Parents,
We are excited to share that our 8th Grade Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser will take place on Thursday, March 18, 2026, from 5:00–7:00 PM. This event will help support our students as they prepare for their New York City school trip.
Tickets are $15, and children under 5 eat free. 8th grade students are now selling tickets. A portion of each ticket sold will go directly toward reducing individual student trip costs, while another portion will support the NYC Trip Scholarship Fund to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate. Tickets will also be available at the door.
To make this event a success, we are asking for your support through both donations and volunteer assistance. We are currently seeking donations of:
Pasta
Pasta sauce
Rolls and garlic bread
Water and soda
Desserts
We are also looking for volunteers to help with setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup on the day of the event. Any time you can offer is greatly appreciated. Spaghetti Dinner Sign up Genius
In addition to the dinner, we are thrilled to host our first-ever “Nauset’s Got Talent” talent show that same evening from 6:00–8:00 PM, featuring performances by both students and staff. Tickets for the talent show will be $5, and all proceeds will benefit the Field Trip Scholarship Fund.
Finally, we encourage you to look ahead to June and consider volunteering for the 8th Grade Dinner Dance. Traditionally, 7th grade parents “pay it forward” by chaperoning the dance so that when their child reaches 8th grade, they can fully enjoy this special milestone. The date for the dance will be announced in the coming weeks.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of our students and school community. If you are able to donate items or volunteer, please reach out - ptonrms@gmail.com - we truly appreciate your partnership in making these events memorable and successful.
