School/Role: Nichols Middle School, Summit Program Clinician
How long you have been with NMS and in what capacity? Today (12/12) is my 4th day and I am the new Social & Emotional Clinician for the Summit Program.
Brief summary about your background/past experience in education: I have worked with children, adolescents and their families for the past 13 years in a number of roles. I have always partnered with schools in my work with kids but I am new to working directly for the education system.
What do you like best about Middleboro and working at NMS: I like the feel of a strong community. Everyone has been very welcoming at NMS and everyone seems proud to be a Tiger!
Fun fact about yourself: I did a TEDx talk in April 2018 and I also participated in a Grease themed Flash Mob in San Francisco, CA in 2010.
Best day of your life: The day I danced with 85 strangers in the flash mob at the 40th anniversary of the Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco, CA.
Favorite season: Summer
Favorite holiday: Halloween & Thanksgiving

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: ***
We are always happy to meet with our students, but we are seeing lots of drop-ins when we are not available or visits without permission. If you need to speak with one of us, you MUST report to your teacher first and ask permission for them to call us and make sure we are available. You may also find us first thing in the morning to ask for an appointment. Remember, if it is an emergency, you can always ask for Mr. Brandon or Ms. Leary, too!
Peer Tutoring at NMS!
Don’t forget, MHS students come to the NMS Media Center to tutor every Wednesday from 2:30 - 3:30 PM! Need some extra help? Come try it out! You must sign up ahead of time (by 12 PM Wednesday), every time. The link to do so can be found here: https://forms.gle/RRwF72A4hjPJtSrh6.
High School Options
Attention students who have applied to BP, BCAHS, or Norfolk Aggie: at this time, ALL 7th Grade records have been sent for review. Now that Tri1 has ended, we are in the process of sending 8th Grade records and counselor recommendations. This will be completed before you leave for winter break.
Interviews for students who have applied to Bristol Plymouth Regional Technical School will take place at Nichols in January. Stay tuned for more information.
Questions about high school options? Please email Ms. Moriarty to let her know how she can help.
