Many Hands, One Mason!
February 25th, 2019
Dear Mason Families,
I hope every enjoyed their Winter Break! March begins at the end of this week and usually everything speeds up in our home/school realms. As you continue to help your child establish and monitor their personal and educational goals, please continue to connect with their teacher about ways they can support you and your child. We are always open to collaborating to make sure your child is reaching their highest potential. When you child sees you working with the teacher to ensure their success, they feel empowered to do their best.
This Saturday (3.2), at Parcells from 8:30am-12pm, the district is holding an ED Camp (Ed-Camp stands for a collaborative conversation) conference for ALL GP parents. Topics to be be discussed include: social media, cultural competency, bullying, suicide prevention and more... Please make an attempt to make your presence felt and represent Mason at this conference. Your voice is valued and needed as we continue to collaboratively make educational decisions that are appropriate for ALL students.
