Nashoba Valley Technical High School
We have now officially begun the transition process from middle school to high school. All students in our school district have the opportunity to apply and attend Nashoba Valley Technical School in Westford. All eighth grade students will attend a presentation given by the admissions counselor from Nashoba on Tuesday, October 8. This presentation will provide students with a complete overview of the technical school.
On Monday, October 28, students will have the opportunity to go on a visit and tour of the school. Students will leave NMS at 8:15 and travel to Westford on a bus. They will tour the school and spend time investigating various technical areas. Students will return to NMS by 12:00. Mrs. Rollins and other staff members will be chaperoning the trip.
There is no cost to go on the tour.
Contact our School Counselor, Mrs. Rollins with any questions or concerns.

Information Custody Information
NMS is requesting that every family fill out a short Google Form regarding the custody status of all students in our school. Whether there are or are not any issues with custody, it is crucial for us, as a school, to have the most updated information on file. We know that things may change each year and that is why we are stressing how important it is that all families provide us this information. Your child’s safety is our number one priority and by providing this information, will only increase the safety of our students each year.
This will help us, as a school, to have an accurate understanding of parent/guardian responsibility for educational decisions, and for the dissemination of information with respect to students and their school programs. So that we at NMS are best able to abide by the Massachusetts State Law and assure the protection of all students and their parents/guardians, we are asking that you provide us with the most clarifying and current custody information.
Please be sure to review any custody information that you may have and please understand that if it is expired, we are not allowed to follow the guidance of that order. For example, if there is a restraining order on a parent and it expires in August of 2024, and we do not have anything updated from them, we cannot stop that parent from dismissing their student or contacting the school.
Kindly review the form that is attached below and fill it out as soon as possible. Please note, we are requesting this information from ALL families, whether there is a custody agreement or not. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at any time, arollins@nmrsd.org or call me at 978-433-0114 x4451.
Department of Disability Services' Info Session
This time of transition can be overwhelming for those of us with students who have disabilities. On Monday, October 21st NMRSD will be hosting a team from the Department of Disability Services' Fitchburg office. There will be a short (10-15 minute) presentation about DDS and various services available to our students. DDS team members will be available to discuss concerns and questions you might have, and will also have applications for services on hand. Students and caregivers are all welcome and urged to join us for this information session.
