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.

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)

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.

Updates From The Principal
Hello NRMS Families,
This week I have had the amazing opportunity to attend the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) Conference in Nashville. I was invited to share the successful implementation of our House System with educators from around the country. While at the conference I attended a number of informative workshops on advisory programs, student engagement in school, AI in schools, and so much more. I look forward to sharing what I learned with our faculty.
I am at the conference through Saturday, so this week's update is brief so I can maximize my time at the conference.
Enjoy the weekend.
Peter Cohen, Ed.D.
Principal

House System
At NRMS, every student and staff member is a member of a House. 6th graders and New Students will find out their House assignment during the first week of school. Will Hurricane House successfully defend their House Cup title and repeat as champions? We will provide updates here.
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.
