All NPS schools will be closed again on Friday, February 27.
Power restoration efforts have been highly successful, and nearly all of our schools now have electricity restored. However, widespread residential outages continue across the region. In addition, there are ongoing safety concerns at bus stops and along several roadways due to remaining debris and snow accumulation. These conditions present potential concerns for student safety.
All schools will reopen on Monday, March 2.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we have worked through this unprecedented situation. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school next week.

Dear Members of the Nauset School Community,
All Nauset Public Schools and offices will be closed once again tomorrow, Thursday, February 26.
Power outages across our four towns remain widespread and continue to impact the majority of our school buildings. While our facilities are equipped with emergency generators, they are not designed to support full building operations for regular school occupancy.
Multiple power restoration crews are actively working throughout the region. We are closely monitoring restoration efforts and will assess whether opening schools on Friday is feasible. If power is restored and our towns are fully operational, the current plan is to hold school on Friday.
Further updates will be shared as soon as additional information becomes available.
All Nauset Public Schools and offices will be closed again tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25.
Most of our schools remain without power, and there are still numerous trees down in neighborhoods across the region.
I remain in regular contact with our town administrators and emergency personnel. There is collective agreement that, given the current conditions, this is the only responsible course of action at this time.
Residents are strongly encouraged to stay off the roads and remain at home to allow recovery and restoration work to continue safely and efficiently.
For information regarding warming centers and shelters, please click the link for details from Barnstable County.
We will continue to closely monitor power restoration efforts and overall cleanup progress as we determine plans for the remainder of the week.
Please take care and stay safe.

Due to the current winter storm, Nauset Public Schools will be closed TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24th. This includes all schools, offices, and extracurricular programs.
Dear Members of the Nauset Community,
Please note that Nauset Public Schools will open two hours later tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27.
Tremendous progress was made today in cleaning up from the storm across all of our campuses. However, with additional snow forecasted overnight and very cold temperatures expected, there is concern that untreated areas could freeze and impact road safety.
The two-hour delay will allow town road crews and school custodial staff additional time to treat roads, walkways, and parking areas to help ensure safer conditions for students and staff.
On a related note, please continue to pay close attention to the upcoming forecast. We are expecting extremely cold temperatures in the coming days, so please dress appropriately.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Glenn Brand
Superintendent of Schools

We encourage families to attend together for a shared conversation about digital responsibility and well being.
Dear Nauset Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
Now that the school year is underway, it is essential that we ensure the accuracy of the contact information in our information system. Maintaining up-to-date information helps us effectively communicate with families and staff across the district.
To support this effort, we will be conducting a test of our communication system tomorrow, Tuesday, September 16 at 5:30 p.m. This test will include:
A phone call to your listed priority contact number, and
A text message (for those who have opted in to receive texts).
If you do not receive the test call or text, please refer to the instructions below for updating your contact information.
Thank you for helping us keep our communication system accurate and reliable.
Sincerely,
Glenn Brand, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Dear Nauset Families,
As we turn the page to another school year - marked by cooler evenings, new beginnings and a shared sense of excitement, it is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I write to you for the first time as Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools. I am honored to serve our incredible school communities and to work alongside our dedicated educators, talented students, and supportive families as we begin the 2025–26 school year.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of being a Nauset parent myself. My wife and I are now proud parents of a Nauset High School graduate, and during that time I had the opportunity to meet many students and families across our wider school community. I quickly came to appreciate the passion, dedication, and commitment that so many bring to education here. It is my intention to help lead both the immediate and long-term future of our schools—ensuring that all seven of them remain student-centered, safe, supportive of social-emotional well-being, and inspiring places for learning.
The start of a school year is always filled with energy, possibility, and hope. For me, as your new Superintendent, it is also a time to listen and learn from those who know our schools best. In the coming months, I look forward to visiting each school and meeting students, families, and community members to hear your hopes and priorities for the district.
I also understand that the start of school comes with a lot of important information to navigate. To make this easier, we have created a centralized webpage (linked here) where you can find details on busing, handbooks, school start times, and more. https://www.nausetschools.org/o/nps/page/new-school-year-information
Thank you for welcoming me into the Nauset community. I look forward to meeting you and working together to make this a great year for our students.
Sincerely,
Glenn Brand, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
