DEAR MASON COMMUNITY,
I hope this message finds everyone safe and sound after the wind storm we experienced this week. Conferences are vastly approaching and we looking forward to talking to you and your child about all the wonderful learning experiences they have encountered since September. Please be sure to get your conference time preference form back to your child(ren)'s teacher immediately so we can schedule a time to speak with you about their progress. In the near future, please talk to your child(ren) about their successes and challenges in school. This is a great opportunity to celebrate goals that have been accomplished and create new ones. We look forward to partnering with to help support your learner(s) anyway possible.
