Summer Reminders and Information
Summer is a great time to get a jump on planning for the next school year. Families can ensure they are prepared for the fall by taking care of some items during summer break.

School offices and buildings will close for the summer in June and reopen in August. Please check the building websites for updates as the school year approaches. To reach the district during the summer, please contact Central Office staff at 517.676.2484.

Sports Physicals
All middle and high school students who plan to try out for any sport must have a current Sports Physical on file prior to tryouts.

Sports physicals are available through your students’ primary care doctor as well as most urgent care and walk in clinics. Mason Public Schools (MPS) does not offer sports physical clinics.
Work Permits
Work permits for students under 16 and for students ages 16 and 17 are available on the Mason Public Schools website. Students complete the first section of the form and the student’s employer will complete the second portion. Once both sections are complete, please email the form to Lisa Bercaw or Jodi Somerville for certification.
Transcripts and Report Cards
Elementary and middle school report cards for the 2024-25 school year are available in students’ Skyward accounts.
Students in need of transcripts can request them using Parchment. Transcripts requested online are sent securely to the colleges, universities or scholarship funds selected by the student.
