๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’›NEW STAFF ORIENTATION FLASHBACK FRIDAY:

It's #FlashbackFriday and we're going back to the first event of our new school year: New Staff Orientation!

In late August, just before Opening Day, we welcomed all of Nauset's new educators and the educator-mentor members of our Mentor and Induction Program to Nauset Regional Middle School for New Staff Orientation. Over two days, our new staff and mentors learned from one another prepared for a strong start to the school year.

It's going to be a great year at Nauset! โš“๐Ÿ

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.

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.

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 (2023โ€“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 studentโ€™s unique registration code and their date of birth. To find your studentโ€™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 studentโ€™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
