Dear Grade 5 Students and Families,

The upcoming weeks are filled with exciting activities, opportunities for reflection, and celebrations as we recognize an important milestone for our Grade 5 students. For most of this class, this marks six years at Wellfleet Elementary School, a tremendous achievement and one that deserves to be celebrated.

Our end-of-year festivities began this past Friday with a successful visit to Nauset Regional Middle School. Students participated in team-building activities, met middle school staff members, and heard from NRMS Principal Dr. Peter Cohen. The visit provided an opportunity for students to begin envisioning their next chapter.

This week, we are looking forward to the WES Amazing Race! As many of you know, the Amazing Race is a series of activities that take place throughout Wellfleet and celebrates community, service learning, and fun. With favorable weather in the forecast, we are planning for Elspeth Hay to guide our students on a nature walk near Long Pond. The walk will culminate with lunch and a celebration at Long Pond.

Families are invited to join us at Long Pond from 11:50 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. for an extended lunch celebration and swim. Certified lifeguards will be on duty, and we would love to have families participate in this special gathering. Following lunch, students will continue the celebration with a stop at Gelato Joy before concluding the day by participating in the Amazing Race presentation on the front lawn of Town Hall (1:15pm). We hope you will join us for all or part of the festivities!

Additionally, we invite families to our Grade 5 Celebration on Thursday, June 18, at 5:30 p.m. This special event will continue our tradition of recognizing students by connecting their unique characteristics and contributions to our community with our "Famous Fleetions" theme. The evening will conclude with a slideshow celebrating our students' years at WES.

To help make the slideshow memorable, we are seeking photographs of our Grade 5 students throughout the years. If you have photos you would like to contribute, please send them to Lindsey Belair at belairl@nausetschools.org by Wednesday, June 10.

We look forward to celebrating this remarkable group of students and sharing these special moments with your families.

Sincerely,

Adam O'Shea

First, I would like to send our well wishes to Ms. Amie Ryone, the bus driver for LeCount. She will be taking some time to address medical matters, and we look forward to seeing her back in action next fall.
Beginning tomorrow, Friday, May 8th, we will reduce transportation from three buses to two buses. LeCount will no longer be a bus option. We apologize for the short notice and appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work through these adjustments.

Linked is the updated bus routes for White Crest & Newcomb Bus :

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.
