My Homework App

Next week, our students will begin using myHomework, a digital planner designed to help them manage workloads and build strong daily habits. Replacing traditional paper agendas, this tool allows students to log daily assignments, track deadlines, and keep to-do lists organized in one place, helping them take greater ownership of their academic responsibilities. One of the best features of myHomework is parent visibility. Next week, your student will be able to send you an email invitation to view their planner. Please keep an eye out for this email and follow these directions to connect. This will take some training, so please encourage your child to use this tool.

Before/After School Clubs

Our clubs are in full swing - we hope your child will join in on the fun! Check out the listing of the current clubs on the pdf below and visit our website as more clubs may be added.

Dear Nauset Regional Middle School Parents & Student-Athletes,

To sign up for participation, please visit Go Bound by clicking: HERE. Choose Activity under Registration.
Please ensure that you complete the registration by the deadline, which is November 27th.

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. Select Massachusetts and download the course. The course is free.

Upload a copy of the completed Concussion Certificate to your Bound Family account when registering. You can also email your completed certificate to 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 winter 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.

WINTER SPORTS MANDATORY MEETING
The winter sports Student Athlete meeting is scheduled for November 19th at 2:45pm in the Nauset Regional Middle School cafeteria. There will be a Virtual Parent meeting on November 19th at 6:30pm.

Hello NRMS Families,

Thank you to everyone who participated in conferences this year. Please remember that at the middle school level, parents/guardians do not need to wait for parent conference days to check in with your child's teachers. At any time you can call or email and if needed, set up a meeting to review academic progress and collaborate on plans to support student success in school.

Thank you also to everyone who contributed to the potluck dinner for teachers on Thursday evening. The meal was very much appreciated.

Wondering how else you can support our educators? Here are some possible actions steps:

Join the PTO. We need a lot more parents to join this group to help with student events that include school dances, and many of our end of year events like field day/olympics. The next PTO meeting will be Wednesday November 18 at 6pm.

OR

Donate to the NRMS Educational Foundation. Donations as small as $5 support mini-grants that our educators can apply for to supplement the funds we have in our operating budget for specialized equipment to enhance learning. Visit https://nrmseducationfoundation.org/ to donate today.

We are hopeful to receive both a large number of parents joining the PTO and a large number of small donations to the Education Foundation to support fund the mini-grants. THANK YOU!

Enjoy the weekend. And, don't forget to change the clocks back.

Peter Cohen, Ed.D.

Principal

Congratulations to The Tornado House, the first house to reach 100,000 points. And congratulations to Blizzard House who earned enough points for Halloween to move into 1st place for now.
