Many Hands, One Mason!!

Dear Mason Families,
Thank you for your patience as our PTO solidifies their Mason spirit wear efforts this year! We are happy to announce that everyone will have the opportunity to order Mason Spirit Wear at conferences. Please stop by our PTO spirit wear table, right by the main office, to order your spirit wear and join our wonderful PTO. Thank you, Mason PTO, for all you do!
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Roy Bishop, Jr.
Principal

From The Office
Appointments and Attendance
Punctuality is a lifetime habit that students should develop. Students are expected to arrive on time each day, prepared to learn. If your child will be absent or late arriving to school, please call the attendance line (432-4401) by 9:00 a.m. It is available 24 hours per day for your convenience. ALL Students will hear from us, “We’re happy you are here” when they arrive! Tardy means after 9:20 am on Mondays and 8:35 am on Tuesday - Friday.
It can't be helped, we understand appointments happen during the school day. Please remember to call the attendance line for early dismissals,The attendance line is open 24 hours a day. Teachers are trying to wrap up instruction and get the students ready to leave so, we would appreciate it if all arraignments were handled before 3:15PM. The more notice you give the better. Thank you!
Entering the building
We appreciate your kindness. However, please do NOT hold the door open for anyone, even Mr. Bishop. We need everyone to ring the buzzer so we know who is entering the building. Thank you for your co-operation in keeping our students safe.
Conference are this week!
The link below will take you to the Sign-Up Genius links for each classroom teacher at Mason. Please click the link for your child's teacher and select a 15-minute slot that works for your family. If you have multiple conference times to sign up for, please don’t schedule them back to back. We would like for you to leave a 15-minute block of time between each child so you can make it to your conferences on time.
We are looking forward to seeing you Wednesday, October 9th or Thursday, October 10th to talk about your child's progress.
