🌳👩🌾🇺🇸EDDY FOURTH GRADERS HELP REPLANT MISSING BICENTENNIAL TREE:
Fifty years ago, in honor of the country's 1976 Bicentennial, Stony Brook Elementary School fourth graders planted 13 linden and maple trees near Town of Brewster, Cape Cod Town Hall to represent the original colonies. By the nation's 250th celebration this year, only 12 trees remained.
On Constitution Day, our Eddy Elementary School fourth graders helped replant the missing thirteenth tree alongside three former fourth graders who helped plant the original trees in 1976!
Thank you to Brewster town officials and DPW for involving a new generation of fourth graders in this experience!

Dear Nauset Families,
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has launched the MCAS Family Portal, which lets families see their students' MCAS test results. Preliminary MCAS results from spring 2026 are currently available in the portal, along with results from past years (2023–2025). The MCAS Family Portal will be updated in September when final MCAS results are ready.
To access the MCAS portal, you will need your student’s unique registration code and their date of birth. To find your student’s code, log into your Aspen Go Parent Portal, click on the Family tab, and look for the MCAS Registration Code box.
Using that code and your student’s date of birth, sign into the MCAS Family Portal.
Need help? Contact us at aspen@nausetschools.org
For more resources, see the MCAS Family Portal Help Guide at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/family-portal, which shows you step by step how to create an account, add your student to your account, and view your student's test results.
Thank you.
The Nauset Administration Team
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.
Glenn Brand
Superintendent of Schools
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.
Glenn Brand
Superintendent of Schools
