The "Showing Up is Job #1" regional attendance initiative, sponsored by our ESD and local school districts, has launched a new service to support our students, parents, and caregivers who are struggling with a school attendance issue. This program provides an "After Hours School Attendance Hotline." The "After Hours School Attendance Hotline" is designed to give students, parents, or caregivers in the ESD's three-county area the opportunity to call "after hours" and talk to someone who will listen and help them connect to the people and resources back in their own school districts at a time better for their work and family schedule. The number is (231) 846-7999 and will be answered between the hours of 7-9 pm, Sunday – Thursday. Texts can also be sent to the hotline number.

Please take a moment to complete this wellness survey. As Mason County Central's Food Service Coordinator, I am always looking for ways to improve our food service program for students. Your input—whether you’re a student, parent, guardian, or staff member—is essential to making our meal programs the best they can be. When everyone is satisfied with the options and variety, participation in our food programs increases, and everyone benefits from nutritious meals. My goal is to ensure that all participants at Mason County Central Schools are well-fed and enjoy their meals! I look forward to hearing your thoughts. To take the survey please click the link below. Thank you-Josie Domin https://forms.gle/4ySRUWMxK6hUCsVeA
