Dear North Mason Families,
We are pleased to announce that two schools in North Mason School District are being recognized by the WA State Board of Education in the School Recognition Program for their performance during the 2023-2024 school year. Schools can be recognized in three categories: Closing Gaps, Growth, and Achievement.
Please help us congratulate the following school(s):
· Hawkins Middle School - Closing Gaps
· Sand Hill Elementary - Closing Gaps
Receiving this recognition is no small honor — only 16% of schools statewide received recognition this year. Schools recognized in the 'Closing Gaps' category have made significant progress in areas identified for improvement in previous school years. These areas may include English language arts and math assessment scores, English learner progress, or graduation rates. More information about award methodology, definitions of award categories, and a list of all schools being honored this year can be found on the Board’s School Recognition webpage. We will be proudly displaying the awards banners at each of the schools being recognized when they arrive in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to our staff and students for their incredible work towards this achievement.
Superintendent Rosenbach
