As we move into 2nd semester, we wanted to bring a few things to your attention as it pertains to our Student Support Team. We're here to support the emotional, behavioral, physical, and mental health of our students. Please see the information below.

Mrs. Krumsieg, the School Social Worker, will be leading a group for kids who have experienced grief and the loss of a loved one. The group is based on curriculum from the organization Annie's Hope. If you are interested in your student participating in this support group, please fill out this form. I will follow-up once I've gained interest. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at patricia.krumsieg@slps.org or 314-645-1201. Thanks!

Consent forms for Gateway Dental have been sent home. Gateway Dental provides dental care and minor treatments to our scholars. Your child will not be seen if we do not receive a completed and signed consent form. Please return the consent as soon as possible.

Vision for Life is coming to Mason to screen all students on February 27th. If your student wears eye glasses, please remember to send your child's glasses with them that day. For those students who do not pass the vision screening, they will receive a consent form to be examined at Mason on March 12th.

We'll be hosting the 2nd Annual Career Fair at Mason for our 3rd - 6th grade students on Wednesday, April 3rd. If you are interested in having a table to educate students about your work, please fill out this form and we'll follow-up with more information:

Here's a tool for parents as you help your students work through big feelings. We talk to students often about how all feelings are okay and that they are capable of working through big feelings. Just as it takes time and practice to become great at playing soccer or an excellent reader, it also takes time and practice to be able to deal with our emotions, especially our bigger, harder emotions.
