🌳👩🌾🇺🇸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!

🎭🎙🎶NATIONAL ARTS IN EDUCATION WEEK:
This week is National Arts in Education Week, which celebrates the transformative power of creative, visual, and performing arts in education!
All Nauset Public Schools students have the opportunity to create, thrive, and explore their passions through the arts. From art classes to band, chorus, theater, and dance to pottery and jewelry-making and so much more, our NPS students are engaged in the arts at every level of their education!
Recently, the metals and jewelry program at Nauset Regional High School was featured in both the September issue of the Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America's MJSA Journal and in The Provincetown Independent.

🚒🚓NRMS REMEMBERS 9/11:
Nauset Regional Middle School students, staff, and community members gathered outside with members of the Orleans Police Department and Orleans Fire Department at 8:46 this morning in solemn remembrance of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
In his remarks about the anniversary, Dr. Cohen shared ways students can carry forward the values of courage and compassion that emerged after 9/11. NRMS students helped lower the flag to half mast and student musician, Noah, played "Taps" on his trumpet following a moment of silence.

Hello Eddy Elementary Families,
Generally speaking, I try to keep my communication to once a week via my newsletter, but there are three somewhat time-sensitive matters I want to mention to you:
Eddy Open House: Our Eddy Elementary Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, 9/16/26. Our open house is a true open house approach. It will occur from 5:30-6:30pm. You are encouraged to bring your student, and siblings are welcome. There is no set schedule, and you may attend for a short amount of time or the entire hour. Please click here for more information!
Student Assembly: We held our back-to-school all-school assembly this week. We discussed core values, "The Eddy Way," making mistakes, and what it means to be a community. I made a short screencast video of the presentation, so you are aware of what we discussed so you can discuss with your student. You can view that short video here.
9/11 Assembly: Tomorrow morning, we will hold a brief all-school assembly to recognize 9/11. Because of the sensitive nature of this day, I wanted to be sure to give you a heads up, and for you to know what we will and will not be discussing. The focus of the assembly is Good Deeds for September 11th. There will be no pictures of the attacks on 9/11, but I will mention two-three sentences about the details from the attacks, so students understand what happened. I will focus on the first responders who did good deeds, showing first responders gratitude, and explaining that doing our own good deeds is a way we can remember the people who lost their lives on 9/11. I will show students this website: https://www.911day.org/uniiteforgood/, and encourage them to do good deeds.
If you have any questions about these items, do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to seeing many of you next week at Open House on 9/16/26 from 5:30-6:30pm.
Best,
Steve Guditus

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

Happy Summer! I hope that you and your family are having a relaxing, productive, and fun-filled summer!

If you have any outstanding library books that have surfaced, please drop them off at Eddy. If you have any contact information changes, please reach out to Mrs. Reeves at reevess@nausetschools.org. I will be offering some summer tours for incoming third graders and new students later in July and in August. Stay tuned for those times and dates!
