Dear Mason Families,
-Continue to read with your child every night for at least 20 minutes.
-Continue to read the newsletters your child(ren)'s teacher sends out weekly. Take some time to discuss the newsletter with your child and ask them questions about what they are learning in school (Expect them to say I don't know and be ready to probe them for more information). Chances are if they can't explain what they are learning, they haven't completely learned the material and they may need your extra help and support with the material at home.
-Continue to work with your child(ren)'s teacher to set realistic goals. Constant reminders about goals from adults at home and school keeps our learners focused on what is truly important.
-Continue to talk to your child about the importance of being kind. The impact of just being kind should never be underestimated.
Thanks for your time and Happy Sunday,
Roy Bishop, Jr.
Principal
Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
Afternoon dismissal is at 3:38 PM. Please pick your student up on the playground or designated area. The end of day is busy with lessons winding down and students getting ready to go home. If you must pick your student up early, we request that you call the office before noon so we may get your student ready at the necessary time. We are very busy in the office at this time so we ask your patience as we may not answer the door after 3:15 PM.
Thank you
Parking Lot Reminders
Double Parking
We know the parking lot gets very bust in the morning and afternoon. However, there is no double parking. You may NOT stand or park next to another vehicle to load/unload passengers. This not only endangers your child, but also seriously impedes the traffic flow. Your vehicle may be reported to the public works department and be issued a $175.00 fine.Parking in a Fire Route
The fire route includes the entrancement drive from Vernier Rd. along the sidewalks leading to the main doors. Parking here could result in a $50 fine.
Please be patient, careful and kind in the parking lot.
