Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year will be ½ day programming with AM hours 9:20 AM – 12:05 PM and PM hours 1:05 PM – 3:50 PM. Your child’s session is determined by the address of your residence. The finalized street listing will be posted on our website at www.masonohioschools.com by February 23rd. Bus number and pickup/drop off times will not be available until late July. You will be able to view your child’s pickup/drop off locations starting June 1st. Students must be 5 years old on or before September 30.
If you are coordinating residential private child care, you will need to stay within your residential assigned session for your child to receive Mason bus service both to and from school. If a session change is desired, you will find this form on our website. Click on the “Newcomer” star, then “Kindergarten Registration”.. Session changes will be granted, by the principal, only if enrollment numbers allow. Your child’s transportation may be affected as a result of a session change. Please keep this in mind as you arrange care for your child.
Most public daycare centers within the Mason City School District limits receive bus service for both sessions. However, please be aware that some daycares may be assigned a specific session due to their location. This information will be available on the street listing guide.
