Welcome
Welcome to the Mason Elementary web site. Mason is a single-track, year-round school located on San Ramon Drive in Mira Mesa, close to Mira Mesa High School.
Mason's mission is to support the district in the
concept that every child will learn to his or her maximum potential in a
safe, orderly, and nurturing environment. Our goals are to provide a
quality instructional program, provide maximum opportunities for
students to learn, show academic progress in all curricular areas,
provide a high level of instruction that addresses the individual needs
of all students, continue an accountability process in literacy and math
that focuses on high standards and grade-level expectations,
provide opportunities for teachers, administrators, and parents to learn
effective strategies to enhance student success, and to continue a
shared decision-making process that involves parents, teachers, and
administrators.
New Student Registration
New Student registration begins on 13 May. Check the flyer for more information

Principal Corner July
It’s July and I can’t believe the school year is coming to a close
already. Time sure flies when you are having fun! By now you should have
received an application for Summer School if your child is eligible. If
Summer School was recommended by the classroom teacher, it is important
that your child attends the program July 27 through August 21st. Classes
will be held at Walker Elementary and I will be the hosting principal.
Summer School is one of the best interventions for helping our children
meet grade level Standards. If you need more information, call our
school office today.
Parent involvement is essential to student achievement. Next year will
be challenging due to the budget cuts. We will depend on your help to
maintain the high standards and expectations we have at Mason. We need
each family to volunteer at least 3 hours next year. We have many
projects and activities happening throughout the school year where we
invite your participation. Together, we can achieve more!
Research shows that children who don’t eat regular meals do not do as
well in school. Starting next year, lunch must be built into the
modified/minimum day schedule. This means that Monday through Friday,
all students will eat lunch at school. I am working with our school
Governance team to come up with a schedule that works for our children,
staff and families.
Thank you for all that you did to help us create a positive learning
environment for our children this year. I know that next year will be
even better! As you plan for next year, remember to check our school
calendar on our website @ http://www.sandi.net/mason/. Please plan
vacations and appointments when school is not in session. We will be
expecting each healthy child to have perfect attendance. In the 2009-10
school years, Lions will be rewarded for perfect attendance. We need our
Lions here every day so that we can teach them.
I wish all members of the Mason family a restful vacation and I look
forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, September 8th, 2009!
For our children,
