Announcements
Mason High School and Mason Middle School were recognized last week for earning designations as National Unified Champion Schools by Special Olympics Michigan! Of the more than 600 Unified Champion Schools in the state, only 27 have earned this highest designation by the Special Olympics.
Mason Public Schools is thankful for Canines for Change and the Bulldog Bark Squad! Gery Rehmann from Canines for Change visited Mason High School and provided training to 10 teachers to work with Lewis. Staff were taught basic commands for Lewis like, "stay", "sit" and "leave". We are thankful for the continued support Canines for Change provides to our facility dogs, their handlers and our school community.
This school year, Mason High School and Mason Middle School will be taking part in a new pilot program replacing traditional Parent/Teacher Conferences with teacher office hours. The primary purpose of the pilot is to give students and families multiple, timely opportunities to communicate with teachers about academic and behavioral progress, replacing the underutilized traditional Parent/Teacher Conferences. During office hours, teachers, students, and/or parents can meet in person, via Microsoft Teams, or by telephone.
During contract negotiations this past summer, Mason Public Schools (MPS) teachers and administration agreed to enhance the opportunities for communication between schools and families. To that end, MPS has committed to a one-year pilot program regarding Parent/Teacher Conferences.
