Dear Mason Families,
Thanksgiving is a great time to get some rest, reflect on our personal and professional journeys and practice saying thank you to those who mean the most to us. On the behalf of the entire Mason staff, we would like to say thank you...
Thank you for always advocating for what is in the best interest of ALL our learners!
Thank you for supporting all our many educational and PTO initiatives.
Thank you for helping us foster a diverse and inclusive learning environment for ALL.
Thank you for trusting us with your child(ren) everyday.
Thank you for supporting our staff in every way possible.
Most importantly, Thank you for being a part of our Mason Family!
I am incredibly honored to serve such a wonderful community and it is an absolute pleasure watching your children soar academically and socially on a daily basis.
May your break be filled with laughter, love and memories that will last a lifetime. My fingers are also crossed for a Lions Victory!
Have a wonderful break,
Roy

3rd Grade Reading Law: Parents, please take the opportunity to click the link below to read about the new 3rd Grade Reading Law that impacts all students/schools in Michigan. During December conferences, parents will receive additional information about the available supports and/or services that their child is receiving if they qualify for an I-RIP. At that time parents will receive the I-RIP, identifying the interventions that are already in place, along with any additional strategies to support their child at home. The new legislation will just add to the already existing supports our children are accustomed to receiving.
