On Tuesday, March 2, a planning meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the John Adams Middle School Information Center to develop a 7 – 12 Parent-Teacher Organization for next school year. As the district restructures the middle school grade levels, it is the perfect time to bring together the parents of students who will attend secondary education in the Mason City Community School District. The meeting will bring Roosevelt, John Adams, and High School PTO’s together as one entity. The meeting will focus on what are the goals of the Mason City 7 – 12 PTO, who will serve as officers, fundraising, preliminary discussions about registration, review of by-laws, discussion of how to transition parents to the new grade configuration vision, and future steps. This is a great opportunity to help plan the future for the secondary PTO, receive information regarding your son/daughter’s education, and to ask questions. Please join us on March 2nd.
School will be in session all day Thursday, May 27, 2010 and Friday, May 28, 2010. Tuesday, June 1, 2010, school will be in session, with an early dismissal for students. These dates are to make-up for weather related school cancellations on January 8 and February 9.
