Dear School Community,
As noted on our COVID-19 Dashboard, today, January 9, 2021 we learned about 2 School Associated Cases of COVID-19 in the Upper Elementary. Both are students.
We are working closely with District Health Department #10 to identify Close Contacts of these School Associated Cases. Any students or staff that have been identified as a close contact will be notified by the health department and/or Mason County Central Schools as a part of the COVID-19 investigation process. Please answer the phone if the health department or MCC Schools calls you, as a contact tracer may be trying to reach you with important information.
Thank you for understanding that, due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the name of the individual with COVID-19. We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you.
With your help, we believe we can maintain a safe environment while also providing quality education. If you have any questions, contact District Health Department #10 at 231-845-7381. For answers to your COVID-19 questions, please call the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Hotline at 888-535-6136 or visit Michigan.gov/coronavirus.
Sincerely,

Dear Upper Elementary Family,
Reflecting on where we started and where we finished today, I am filled with nothing but gratitude. Gratitude towards our students, parents and staff in giving the very best they have. Most importantly, the level of grace you continue to display towards one another, sets us above any impassioned group of stakeholders I’ve worked with. This patience, kindness, and understanding is what our world needs most, and I’m Spartan proud to witness these values from each of you on a daily basis. This inspires me, thank you.
I wish you the best of seasons, although a bit different, and nothing but love, hope, peace and joy in 2021! Love Big, Mr. Kimes

Dear MCC School Family,
When you get a chance, please check out a letter from the Regional Superintendents posted in the News Feed on this App or the district Website[ www.mccschools.org ].
The letter is in regards to all of us staying extra vigilant in our efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses as we enter the Flu season.
We so want to keep our schools open and continue to provide extracurricular activities through this school year.
Just so you know, our students and staff have been wonderful in their efforts here at school to learn and teach in a safe and healthy manner.
Stay Healthy and Strong Spartans!!
