NRHS UPDATE

Message from Principal Cullinane
Dear Nashoba Students and Families –
We received some great feedback on our Parent / Teacher conferences which were held last week. Many parents were happy about doing these remotely because some folks could actually attend who would not have been able to if they were in person. A number of parents asked us to continue with this format in the future which we will keep in mind for next time.
It was also great to see some of our sophomores at our “Meet, Greet, and Connect” event this past Wednesday. Mr. Biggs is working with faculty to try to set up more in person time for students to come into the building. We’ll send information on these events ASAP.
I’d also like to remind families that the first quarter ends next Friday on November 6th. This was a short quarter due to us starting late and I want to encourage students to make sure they are caught up with their work.
Have a great weekend!
Reminder: Meet, Greet, and Connect Events for Students
We sent an e-mail early last week about our Meet, Greet, and Connect.

Greetings Nashoba families and students!
I hope this finds you and your family well. I have enjoyed speaking with many of you over the past several weeks. As we head into Halloween weekend, keep in mind low risk versus high risk activities. Seeing a few friends outdoors, physically distanced with masks is low risk, where gathering indoors without masks is a high risk activity. Many of our surrounding towns fall in the higher risk (red) communities, and now Bolton is included in this category, with Lancaster and Stow in yellow. Please be aware that hosting indoor gatherings poses a risk to our students, families, and school community, including our middle and elementary schools. Thank you for choosing low risk activities for yourself and your children this weekend to help keep our community safe and healthy. This is a year of getting innovative and creating new traditions, and we appreciate your efforts to help ensure the overall wellbeing of our community!
All these changes we're experiencing can take a toll on our mental health. Make sure you're taking time to care for yourself. Know what your body needs. Get enough sleep, participate in regular physical activity, choose foods wisely, limit media, rest when you need to, and seek out your support network to help boost moods. Reach out to a health care provider when you need to. "Paying it forward" can improve our own mental health, as well. Do something kind for someone else, text or call a friend or family member, run an errand for an elderly or sick neighbor. These activities can help build community and strengthen relationships. Wishing our Nashoba community all the best in health and wellness.
Be well and stay safe!

Our goal is to keep our student-athletes, coaches, officials, and all families safe and healthy as we complete the fall season.

From the Nutrition Department
Hello Families,
The Nutrition Team would like to send you an update on our Grab and Go meal pickup.
WE HAVE MOVED (a little)
We are now handing out lunches out of the auditorium doors at the High School. Families will still drive in on the right side of the school, but will now loop around, rather than driving behind the school. New signs will be in place to direct you.
We will still be serving Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 11:30-1 and 2:30-4 pm. Your children don't need to be with you, and we still do not require any identifying information to pick up meals.
Follow us on Twitter @NRSD_Nutrition for any updates!
As a reminder, we now have a Grab and Go menu posted on our website here.
We hope to see you today in the snow, please drive safely and have a fun & safe Halloween!
