School

 

Mason County Central Schools is committed to our students and their parents/guardians and has been working hard to create a plan that supports your family with back to school learning options. 

Educators and pediatricians share the goal of children returning to school safely this fall. Mason County Central Schools recognizes that children learn best when physically present in the classroom as children get much more than academics at school: social /emotional skills, healthy meals and exercise, mental health support and other services that are not easily replicated outside the classroom BUT we recognize options are important to each family and their individual needs. It is important that we gather your input and selection so planning can continue to occur for what is BEST for your child.

Below are the options Mason County Central Schools will be offering in the fall.  Each will require a minimum first trimester commitment (approximately 12 weeks) and can be extended/changed each trimester as the year and circumstances progress.

Please click here for our Return to School survey due by August 12th. Please contact Karen Cameron at 757-3713 ext 111 if you are unable to submit electronically from our MCC App or MCC website link. If you have additional questions please reach out to your student’s building level principal.
