Attn: Mason Road students, parents/guardians, and caregivers:
We are starting a weekly email that will highlight some of the AMAZING things going on at Mason Road Jr PS, because we've got lots to share. Every week, you can expect a brief snapshot of what's going on, including photos. The format is simple. Each week, we will rotate between the 3 divisions at Mason Rd (Primary (Gr. 1-3), Junior (Gr. 4-6), and Kindergarten (JK/SK)), highlighting something awesome!
This week, we're going to share two items:
- #1: Mason Rd's Gr. 5 Boy's basketball team won their conference finals game on Thursday, earning the school a banner that will be hung proudly in the office, then later in the gym. It's Mason Rd's first banner since 2017! On Wednesday, the boys will be representing Scarborough at the City Finals at Hoop Dome at Downsview Park. Go Mustangs!!!!
- #2: Our incredible caretaker has taken the time to fold and lay out the items in the lost and found. Please take a look at the photos attached to see if you recognize an article of clothing. We aim to have all the clothing back to it's owner before March Break.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you!

On behalf of everyone at Mason Road Junior Public School, we would like to extend a huge thank you to the Mason Road community for their incredible support during our Book Fair last week. We would also like to thank the family and student volunteers for their invaluable help to make sure the book fair was a resounding success. As a community, we raised $4447 in total sales!! Approximately $2600 of that money will be used to purchase more resources for the school and library. None of this would be possible without the amazing Mason Road community. Thank you again and we hope everyone had a wonderful time at the Book Fair!

Hi Mason Rd community.
Just a point of clarification in case you may have received a paper note on Thursday stating that the return date to school is Jan. 29th.
To be clear, the paper note should have stated Jan. 22nd (tomorrow). We had thought we caught all the errors in time, but it seems we missed some.
Thanks for understanding.
