Students at Belfair Elementary modeled the four pillars to Kinders and 1st graders at today's assembly that detailed the PBIS system (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports). Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Kind attributes were demonstrated as the students listened attentively to Principal Collins describe the matrix of expected behaviors. "Character is what you do when no one is looking," she explained to the students. "It is who you are in your heart." After an inspirational assembly, news of the return of the golden trash can was celebrated by the students. Mr. Connell led the crowd in a rousing Belfair Elementary song as they left the gymnasium by grade level; consistently displaying positive behavior.
Great job, Belfair Bobcats!
Big day for our new kindergarten students (and their families!) as they begin their educational journey with North Mason School District. Welcome...and have a great first day!
Happy first day back to school, North Mason! It was wonderful to see everyone's smiling faces and feel the positive energy at each of the schools. It's going to be a great year. We can't wait to see all that our students accomplish!

🚌🚍 Wave to the Buses
This afternoon at each of the buildings, teachers, staff and administration lined the sidewalks to take part in the traditional wave to the buses. Before boarding, students were seen saying goodbye to friends and teachers, many lingering until the horns started to honk as warning that it was time. Once all the students were on board, drivers slowly drove by the crowds, honking their horns to celebrate the end of the year. Students were smiling as they waved goodbye, some calling out to their favorite teachers, some holding signs that reflected the ones looking back at them. A simple message: We will miss you!
It's a tradition that brings us smiles, laughter and some tears...and it wraps our year up with a bow 🎀.
Congratulations to our North Mason students and families on the completion of the 2022-2023 school year! From all of us at NMSD...have a safe, enjoyable summer! ☀️ We will miss you...
