Dear Mason Crest Families,

What a wonderful start to the school year! Our tigers have jumped right into learning, building relationships, and making connections. Across the school, we are seeing classrooms establishing routines and making commitments to ensure learning throughout the year. 

Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate transportation changes and get used to the arrival and dismissal routine. Staying in the Kiss n' Ride line until a staff member opens your car door helps us keep everyone safe and the process run more smoothly. As the students learn their numbers, it will become more efficient.

We are looking forward to another great week with our students and the upcoming four-day weekend to celebrate Labor Day.

Take care and best,

Ms. Shin, Mr. Aiello, and Ms. Conroy
