Dear MCC School Community,
Join me in honoring our Mason County Central Teachers on National Teacher Appreciation Day, Wednesday, May 7th, 2025.
Our dedicated, professional educators work masterfully to inspire and equip our students to excel.
In addition, at Mason County Central Schools, we believe that EVERY school employee impacts student learning. Please acknowledge the work they do as well to support the teaching and learning environment.
At Mason County Central , the staff demonstrates Competence in their work, Compassion for everyone, and Courage to take on challenges each and every day.
Today was school lunch hero day!!! This is a little late posting but we want to tell our food service department how thankful we are to have them and for all of the things they do above and beyond just lunch!! You all are rockstars!!!
We zoomed in with the National Constitution Center for a program called Civic Stories. Students examined an artifact (Gideon Welle shoes) to tell a story in American History (Elizbeth Keckley's story behind crafting the shoes). Students volunteered to answer questions about artifacts and US History.
Here is more information about the program:
National Constitution Center: "The National Constitution Center’s free Civic Stories program provides elementary and middle school students from across the country the opportunity to engage with the past through artifacts and the stories they tell. In this setting, students develop a deeper understanding of history and consider the ways in which artifacts humanize history through the individuals, communities, and cultures they represent. Through this practice, students begin to identify where they see themselves, their communities, and their surroundings in the broader scope of American history.
Civic Stories are free, 30-minute virtual learning experiences designed for learners in third through eighth grade. Sessions are facilitated by members of the Center’s Education team and are scheduled at times that work for teachers and their students."
On Wednesday, Mrs. McCormick took her class to Grand Valley State University to participate in the We the People Constitutional Hearing. Several students received special recognition for their insightful responses and thoughtful contributions during the hearings: Ana Shatova, Chloe Jabrocki, Ethan Austin, and Ian Sodders.
The team is now eagerly awaiting word from the judges to see if they qualify for the National Convention!
Mrs. McCormick and Mrs. Steuck shared that the students represented MCC with pride and professionalism, and they had a fantastic time learning and connecting with peers from schools across the region.
Today, April 22nd, 2025 is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!!!
Spartan Family, let's show how much we appreciate our dedicated Mason County Central Bus Drivers. They travel many miles each and everyday, through often difficult driving conditions to safely transport our students to and from school.
Our MCC Bus Drivers are simply... THE BEST!!!

Dear MCC School Family,
For planning purposes the 2025-2026 School Calendar has been posted to the News Feed on this App/Website.
Just a reminder that for this year, due to having to make up 2 snow days, our last day of school is planned for a 1/2 day on Tuesday, June 10th. ( and Friday, June 6th is now a full day).
Have a great Spring Break!! And we'll see the students back on Tuesday, April 8th.
Mason County Central Schools would like to remind families that Thursday March 27th will be our last day of school for this week as we head into Spring Break. Students will return to school on Tuesday April 8th. We hope you have a relaxing enjoyable break.
MCC Middle School STEAM Night is Wednesday, March 26th from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm in the Middle School. There will be activities based on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. The more activities you visit, the bigger prizes you could win! Adult Supervision is required. Please come and enjoy food, fun, and prizes!
Dear MCC School Family,
Wow! What a Winter!!!
In case you lost count we have had 11 snow days thus far in the 2024-2025 School Year.
Each school year, the State automatically authorizes 6 days for school day cancellations when circumstances beyond our control occur. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education can waive up to 3 additional days for districts with compelling reasons to cancel. I am happy to report that we just recently received our waiver request for the 3 additional days.
With that being said, we still need to make up the 2 other days. We will do this by simply extending the calendar 2 days - adding June 9th and 10th on to the end of the calendar. Of course if further school day cancellations occur, those too would need to be added to the end of the school year. As previously planned, the last day of school will be a 1/2 day.
Let's hope that Ol' Man Winter is finally ready to give in to a Beautiful Spring Season and close of this school year.
We wanted to get this change in the end-of-year calendar to you as soon as possible for planning purposes.
Wishing you all the best and Stay Strong Spartans!!
🌟 Join us this weekend for an engaging Family Affair on Saturday, March 15th from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Attention Mason County Central Middle School Parents: Students were given their second trimester report cards to take home at the end of the school day today. Grades can also be reviewed on the Parent Portal. Thank you, and have a nice weekend.
Dear MCC School Family,
We were just made aware that PowerSchool sent out a broad email to all of Mason County Central Schools' Parents/Guardians and Staff regarding the cybersecurity incident back in December of 2024. So far all indications show that Mason County Central's data was not a widescale breach. In addition, Mason County Central Schools does NOT load individual's social security numbers into the system. But being diligent in assuring the protection of your data is what PowerSchool is striving to do.
As a reminder, PowerSchool is a company that provides Mason County Central Schools and districts across the United States with student information management software.
As discussed previously, we recently learned that on December 28, 2024, PowerSchool discovered that an unauthorized actor gained access to certain customer data, potentially including some information relating to Mason County Central Schools.
We understand that on or about January 29, 2025, PowerSchool began sending notifications via email directly to certain impacted individuals and families to notify them of the incident. It is anticipated that these incident notification emails from PowerSchool will be sent to affected individuals and families on a rolling basis in the coming days and weeks. PowerSchool has represented its investigation into the incident has not yet concluded. As such, our understanding of the scope of the incident is actively evolving and there remains a possibility that those families who have not yet received an email from PowerSchool may receive one in the future, along with further communication from Mason County Central Schools
We understand that PowerSchool is sending the notifications from one of the following email addresses:Ps-sis-incident@mail.csid.com, Ps-sis-incident@mail1.csid.com, or Ps-sis-incident@mail2.csid.com.
As always, we encourage our community to remain vigilant when using email. When requested to follow a link or download an attachment, please review the sender information and the email domain to confirm that the request is legitimate. If you receive a PowerSchool correspondence that is not from one of the above email addresses or you are unsure about an email’s legitimacy, please exercise caution. Do not click any links or download attachments.
While we await final findings from PowerSchool concerning the scope of the impact of this incident, it is important to also remain diligent in reviewing your financial account statements and credit reports for fraudulent or irregular activity on a regular basis.
As a reminder, PowerSchool has set up a dedicated response line for this incident. The response line is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Central Time. You may contact PowerSchool’s response line directly at (833) 918-9464.
