Congratulations to this year’s Mason Chamber of Commerce (MACC) Excellence in Education award winner Allison Altenberger from North Aurelius Elementary! 

Mrs. Altenberger has taught special education at North Aurelius Elementary for seven years and supports students in grades 1-5, helping them grow academically and socially. 

Her students consistently achieve academic growth, especially in reading and math. She is known for her sense of humor as well as her compassion and dedication and works to build strong relationships with students and families. In addition, she communicates effectively with parents and colleagues creating a positive learning environment.  

The Bulldog Bark Squad is growing again! Welcome Willow to Mason Public Schools! Willow will soon join her handlers Stephanie Faber and Alexis Woodruff at Steele Elementary! Thank you to Shaheen Chevrolet of Lansing for sponsoring Willow and Canines for Change for their continued support of the Bark Squad!

As students returned from Winter Break, rested and ready for learning, teachers and schools within the district welcomed students back by engaging in fun activities and reviewing content from the first half of the year- including behavior routines! 

Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is a research-based system MPS uses to help students learn and practice behavior routines and social emotional wellbeing.
