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

Dear Fourth Grade Families,

I am writing to share an update regarding Mrs. Connolly. As many of you know, she has been out on medical leave for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, due to ongoing health considerations, Mrs. Connolly will not be able to return to the classroom for the remainder of the school year.

While we know this news may be disappointing for students and families, I want to reassure you that Mrs. Wallace will continue serving as the long-term substitute teacher through the end of the school year. Mrs. Wallace has done an exceptional job providing continuity, care, and high-quality instruction for our students, and we are grateful for her commitment to the class during this time.

Mrs. Connolly asked that I share the following message with all of you:

Dear Fourth Grade Families and Students,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to share some difficult news. Due to my ongoing medical leave, I will not be able to return to our classroom to finish the remainder of the school year. I am so incredibly sorry that I cannot be there with you all for these final weeks. It truly breaks my heart that our time together is being cut short in this way, and I deeply apologize for not being able to say goodbye in person.

Please know that I feel profoundly blessed to have spent the majority of this year working with your wonderful children. Getting to know each student, watching them learn, and sharing so many special moments together has been the greatest gift. I am so grateful to you, the families, for your constant support, partnership, and trust throughout this journey.

To my amazing students: I believe in each and every one of you so much. I care about you deeply, and I am incredibly proud of all the hard work, kindness, and growth you have shown this year. Even though I cannot be at school right now, I am still cheering you on from afar. I know Mrs. Wallace has taken great care of you in my absence and will continue to do so.

You are prepared and ready for the exciting challenges ahead. I know without a doubt that you will go on to do great things in fifth grade!

Thank you all for the beautiful memories and laughs we shared this year. I wish you a happy summer and I will see you in September or around town!

With all my love and gratitude,

XO,
Mrs. Connolly

On behalf of the entire Wellfleet Elementary School community, we thank Mrs. Connolly for her dedication to our students and wish her continued healing and good health. We also thank our fourth-grade families for their support and understanding throughout this year.

Sincerely,

Adam O'Shea
