Stay connected to NRMS - Tech Tips & Tricks

Please review these helpful ways that you can stay connected to our school and be equipped to support your scholar. Parent Technology Tips including where to find important info on the Nauset App and Nauset Website.

In partnership with our faculty and district town librarians, our Librarian, Ms. Hoffman, has put together an awesome reading list for this summer! Students who read at least four books as noted will receive a certificate, a prize, and a celebration in the fall.

The Nauset Public Schools will no longer be using ParentSquare for school-related communications. We have transitioned to Thrillshare, which is connected directly to our website. Please be sure to download the app and be on the lookout for school information to be sent via Thrillshare and the App.

Additional Information About Thrillshare for Communication Between School & Home:

We are excited to share that the Nauset app is now your one-stop shop for all things Nauset, K–12. As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline communication Pre-K-12, Nauset Public Schools has transitioned away from ParentSquare and expanded the district app to include Rooms by Thrillshare. This new feature allows for two-way messaging between families and teachers, classroom announcements, and automatic translation. Families who participated in last spring’s soft rollout helped shape this districtwide launch. Once your account is set up, you can access all school and classroom communications directly within the Nauset app or through a web browser. You will continue to receive important updates via text message, email, and phone call to ensure you stay informed in the way that works best for you. To support this system, please make sure your contact information is accurate and up to date in Aspen, our student information system. If you have not already downloaded the Nauset app, it is available for free in both the App Store and Google Play Store.

It is important to note that NPS staff members with children enrolled in Nauset Schools must use a personal email address when setting up parent accounts. District email addresses cannot be used for both staff and parent access.
