Hello NRMS Families,

We have reached the halfway point of the school year. As principal, it is at this time of year that I have one foot in the current year and one foot in the next school year. We are wrapping up the budget process. We are working on staffing and schedules for next year. And we are planning the transition events for 8th to 9th grade and for 5th to 6th grade. Below, and in each newsletter from now until June, we will list important events so that you can mark your calendars and save the dates.

Over the next two weeks, we will welcome 5th grade students to NRMS as they visit and learn more about the middle school. We will host an informational meeting for parents of 5th graders on February 11. Please help us spread the word to your friends and neighbors who have 5th graders that will attend NRMS in the fall. The high school is also working on the transition process for our 8th graders. See the message below from the high school principal.

We have just two weeks until the February vacation week. I want to remind everyone about the importance of daily attendance in school. We have noticed in 2025 (the past five weeks) that there has been an increase in family vacations outside of the designated school vacation periods. Please refrain from planning trips that pull students from school. Students fall behind when they miss multiple days of school. Additionally, attendance is one factor for how the state evaluates our school. Please help us reach our attendance goals.

The start of the third quarter is a good opportunity for students to have a fresh approach to their learning. They should treat the second half of the year as "spring training," where they focus on developing strong, scholarly skills that will stick with them when they transition to the next grade level in the fall.

Enjoy the weekend.

Peter Cohen, Ed.D.

Principal

Dear Parents and Caregivers of the Class of 2029,

Now is the time for current 8th graders and their families to begin focusing on the transition to high school and building a schedule of courses for the next school year. We ask all involved to fully engage in the process and select courses that meet the learning needs of each individual student. Each student will engage in the course selection process, selecting a total of 7 course credits, as well as back up elective options. Please consider the course descriptions in the Program of Studies, the current level of learning skill, and commitment to study outside of the school day. Please see the attached schedule for the dates I will be visiting for a daytime Student Workshop. Our evening Parent/Caregiver Workshop will be at Nauset Regional High School. At this time a general overview of life at the high school as well as the course selection process will be reviewed. Please access the QR code to view the Program of Studies. I look forward to meeting the Class of 2029 and Parent /Caregivers at the scheduling sessions. Please feel free to call the Main Office at 508-255-1505 with any questions.

Be Well, Patrick Clark, Principal

Week of March 17 - School counselors meet with students at NRMS to create student schedules

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible learning experience for our students, we are excited to inform you that we are exploring new math curriculum programs. After researching various curriculum options, we believe that two programs could offer new opportunities to deepen students’ understanding of math concepts and better meet their individual learning needs: HMH Into Math and MidSchoolMath. To evaluate which one would be the best fit for our students, we will be piloting these two programs over the next few months. We are starting with HMH Into Math and will begin using it with most math classes in early February (compacted math classes are not piloting it due to their unique pacing). Here is some information about the program:

Into Math was developed based on the latest research to deliver a student-centered, outcomes-driven approach to learning mathematics that supports deeper understanding of concepts, along with true procedural fluency and application embedded throughout. Into Math emphasizes effort in learning to reignite your child's belief that they're unstoppable. From embedded growth mindset tasks and explicit social-emotional instruction that supports students in building critical thinking skills, to independent learning activities that encourage perseverance, Into Math transforms mathematics fear into mathematics enthusiasm.

We certainly welcome your feedback as we determine whether this program is the right fit for our school. Thank you for your support and partnership!
