Dear MCC School Family,
For planning purposes the 2025-2026 School Calendar has been posted to the News Feed on this App/Website.
Just a reminder that for this year, due to having to make up 2 snow days, our last day of school is planned for a 1/2 day on Tuesday, June 10th. ( and Friday, June 6th is now a full day).
Have a great Spring Break!! And we'll see the students back on Tuesday, April 8th.
Mason County Central Schools would like to remind families that Thursday March 27th will be our last day of school for this week as we head into Spring Break. Students will return to school on Tuesday April 8th. We hope you have a relaxing enjoyable break.
Dear MCC School Family,
Wow! What a Winter!!!
In case you lost count we have had 11 snow days thus far in the 2024-2025 School Year.
Each school year, the State automatically authorizes 6 days for school day cancellations when circumstances beyond our control occur. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education can waive up to 3 additional days for districts with compelling reasons to cancel. I am happy to report that we just recently received our waiver request for the 3 additional days.
With that being said, we still need to make up the 2 other days. We will do this by simply extending the calendar 2 days - adding June 9th and 10th on to the end of the calendar. Of course if further school day cancellations occur, those too would need to be added to the end of the school year. As previously planned, the last day of school will be a 1/2 day.
Let's hope that Ol' Man Winter is finally ready to give in to a Beautiful Spring Season and close of this school year.
We wanted to get this change in the end-of-year calendar to you as soon as possible for planning purposes.
Wishing you all the best and Stay Strong Spartans!!
Dear School Staff,
As you are aware... we have had 11 "snow days" thus far in the 2024-2025 School Year.
The State automatically authorizes 6 days for school day cancellations when circumstances beyond our control occur in a school year. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education can waive up to 3 additional days for districts with compelling reasons to cancel. I am happy to report that we just recently received our waiver request for the 3 additional days.
With that being said, we still need to make up the 2 other days by extending the calendar 2 days - adding June 9th and 10th on to the end of the calendar.
Of course if further school day cancellations occur, those too would need to be added to the end of the school year.
I will be posting a similar notification to the full school community later on today or tomorrow.
Have a great day, Spartan Staff

Dear MCC School Family,
We were just made aware that PowerSchool sent out a broad email to all of Mason County Central Schools' Parents/Guardians and Staff regarding the cybersecurity incident back in December of 2024. So far all indications show that Mason County Central's data was not a widescale breach. In addition, Mason County Central Schools does NOT load individual's social security numbers into the system. But being diligent in assuring the protection of your data is what PowerSchool is striving to do.
As a reminder, PowerSchool is a company that provides Mason County Central Schools and districts across the United States with student information management software.
As discussed previously, we recently learned that on December 28, 2024, PowerSchool discovered that an unauthorized actor gained access to certain customer data, potentially including some information relating to Mason County Central Schools.
We understand that on or about January 29, 2025, PowerSchool began sending notifications via email directly to certain impacted individuals and families to notify them of the incident. It is anticipated that these incident notification emails from PowerSchool will be sent to affected individuals and families on a rolling basis in the coming days and weeks. PowerSchool has represented its investigation into the incident has not yet concluded. As such, our understanding of the scope of the incident is actively evolving and there remains a possibility that those families who have not yet received an email from PowerSchool may receive one in the future, along with further communication from Mason County Central Schools
We understand that PowerSchool is sending the notifications from one of the following email addresses:Ps-sis-incident@mail.csid.com, Ps-sis-incident@mail1.csid.com, or Ps-sis-incident@mail2.csid.com.
As always, we encourage our community to remain vigilant when using email. When requested to follow a link or download an attachment, please review the sender information and the email domain to confirm that the request is legitimate. If you receive a PowerSchool correspondence that is not from one of the above email addresses or you are unsure about an email’s legitimacy, please exercise caution. Do not click any links or download attachments.
While we await final findings from PowerSchool concerning the scope of the impact of this incident, it is important to also remain diligent in reviewing your financial account statements and credit reports for fraudulent or irregular activity on a regular basis.
As a reminder, PowerSchool has set up a dedicated response line for this incident. The response line is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Central Time. You may contact PowerSchool’s response line directly at (833) 918-9464. Additionally, PowerSchool has published additional information on its website, which is available at: https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/
We acknowledge this may be concerning news. As always, our #1 priority is to ensure the safety and security of our students, staff and community. We will share further updates as relevant information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Mason County Central Schools
Dear MCC School Family,

Mrs. Miller's class would like to send out a huge Thank you to the MCC Educational Foundation and their generosity. Mrs. Miller applied for a grant to be able to purchase the awesome witting tablets you see in the pictures that they use for math, cursive, logic of English and number corners. They have been a huge hit with the students and they all want to say "Thank You"
