Our School
We are an Effective Practice Pilot School where students are taught in fully inclusive classrooms. Teachers are dual-certified in regular and special education with extensive training in literacy, math investigations and character education. Through creative allocation of funding and commitment of caring partners, each classroom is staffed by two or more adults, resulting in a very low student-to-teacher ratio.
If you are a parent or guardian interested in learning more about the Mason Pilot Elementary School, we have three scheduled
School Preview Events where you can learn about all the Mason has to offer.
To view the presentation, CLICK HERE.
The School Preview Events will take place on the following Dates and times:
11/19/2020 (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM)
12/17/2020 (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM)
1/21/2021 (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM)
If you are unable to attend, please take a moment to watch this short video taken from our first School Preview on 11/19/20 this school year!
