Many Hands, One Mason!
March 24, 2018
Dear Mason Families,
Happy Sunday! On behalf of our entire staff, thank you so much for a great two days of conferences. We had great attendance again this year and it really helps to ensure your child(ren)'s continued progress. It was a wonderful time to celebrate our learners and create a success plan for the last couple months of school.
After Spring break, 3rd-5th grade students will be participating in M-step testing and all grade levels will take the Spring NWEA assessments. These assessments give us a snapshot of your child's growth over the year and helps us create goals for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Thanks for your support,
Roy Bishop, Jr.
Principal
