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. Additionally, PowerSchool has published additional information on its website, which is available at: https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/
We acknowledge this may be concerning news. As always, our #1 priority is to ensure the safety and security of our students, staff and community. We will share further updates as relevant information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Mason County Central Schools

Dear MCC School Family,
All of the Scottvile MCC campus and the city of Scottville are currently experiencing a power outage. We are going to finish out the school day as normal as possible. While it will be a bit darker, our bathroom facilities are fully functional.
The power is expected to be restored later this afternoon, and everything should be business as usual from there on.
Stay Strong Spartans!!
Dear MCC School Family,
First and foremost... our scheduled Mid -Winter Break - scheduled with a half-day on Friday, February 14th and a full day off on Monday, February 17th (Presidents' Day) are still a go. So don't change your plans.
Some rumors have started to circulate that due to the number of snow days (9) we have had this winter, that the break would be cancelled.
Just so you are aware, we are allotted 6 automatic snow days from the state and can seek a waiver for an additional 3 for a total of 9 before having to make any additional days up.
We are also aware many of you have made plans for the long weekend and a change in the calendar at this late date would be a terrible inconvenience for you.
Have A Great Day, Spartans!!
Strengthening Families, Connecting with other parents, Caring conversations. Parents of K-5 Spartans we invite you to MCC's Parent Circles.
