Dear Mason Families,
Have a wonderful weekend,

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.
