Wellfleet Elementary

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

Good morning Grade 5 Families,
Unfortunately, our week-long adventure scheduled for next week will need to be postponed due to the N.E.E.D. building not yet being ready. As you may know, the old Coast Guard Station has undergone significant renovations, including a new roof, siding, and additional updates to ensure ADA compliance. The construction team has encountered several challenges, which has delayed completion.
Our new tentative dates for the trip will be April 13–17, the week before Spring Break. We recognize that this timing overlaps with our Spring Concert and Art Show, so we have decided to move that event to Thursday, May 21st.
The N.E.E.D. Director, Ellie Moody, has already met with the students and shared some of the exciting activities planned for their stay. To keep the momentum going, Ellie has offered a day trip on Wednesday, October 22nd, where students will spend the day exploring the Outer Cape and climbing the Pilgrim Monument.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate these changes. We’re confident the spring experience will be well worth the wait!
Stay dry,
Principal O'Shea
