Good afternoon NT Families,
I hope you all had a restful and well-deserved April vacation. It has been wonderful seeing the hallways full of energy again for our first week back. As a quick logistical reminder before we head into the weekend, today is an early release day, and Term 3 progress reports will be available for families to view today via the Aspen Portal.
We have returned from break right into a season of incredible student achievements across our vocational programs. Over the vacation, our Culinary Department traveled all the way to Baltimore to compete in the ProStart Nationals. I am thrilled to announce that our team brought home 13th place in the nation! Please join me in congratulating these talented students and their dedicated instructors on this massive accomplishment on a national stage.
The celebrations continued into this week. This past Wednesday, our Health Assisting department held a special pinning ceremony for 11 of our juniors who successfully passed their rigorous state CNA certification exams. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and commitment to the healthcare field.
Finally, we are sending out a huge wave of encouragement and good luck to the 58 students representing our school at the 2026 SkillsUSA Massachusetts State Leadership & Skills Conference! We know you will all make us proud, and we cannot wait to hear about your experiences when you return.
Thank you to all our staff for a great first week back. Enjoy the early release today, and have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!
Jeremy Slotnick, Principal

Message from the Technology Department
We’re excited to be rolling out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our NVTHS app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging.
This addition allows NVTHS to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
With the introduction of the Rooms tool, guardians will be able to have better communication with the NT community, teachers, sports and clubs.
We will be sending out additional information over the next month as we start implementing Rooms tools.
In the meantime please feel free to download the NT app at the Apple or Android store and sign in:

Attention Class of 2026 Parents: Senior Lawn Signs
My name is Kara Gustafson and my daughter Kingsley is a senior at Littleton High School. I am coordinating the Senior Yard signs. If you live in Littleton and have a senior graduating from any high school this year, I will be ordering lawn signs to be displayed in the center of town in late May. Please spread the word.
Signs will include a picture, your student's name, class of 2026, and the high school they are graduating from. Littleton High School students will need to grant permission to allow the school to release their portrait from the yearbook. Students from other schools will need to email a high-resolution picture to gustafsonkm@hotmail.com. Please name the file your students name (First_Last)
We are a month late to the game so you will only have a week, until May 3rd, to fill out the google form and submit payment to me.
The cost is $24, payable to Kara Gustafson: Venmo @KaraGustafson3 (0783), or drop off cash to 31 Grimes Ln, Littleton. Donations are welcome to ensure all students who want a sign can afford one. If I do not have both the google form and money in hand by noon on May 3rd , then a sign will not be made.
Form can be found - Here
Any questions, please contact me at gustafsonkm@hotmail.com
