"The Mohawk PRIDE" Community Newsletter
During the 2016-2017 school year, the Mason City Community School District published a staff newsletter -- The Mohawk PRIDE. It shared articles and photos about the great things going on in our schools and across the district, as well as news and informational items about education, curriculum and programs both in our district and information from the Department of Education. This publication was very well received by the staff and was shared with the School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC). This committee recommended the district share this news with the families and community, SO here is the first community news edition of The Mohawk PRIDE. It can also be accessed through our website. Please feel free to share it with friends and family members who may not be on our email listing. If you have any recommendations for information/news/etc. that you would like to see in future publications of The Mohawk PRIDE, please share those with the Communications and Community Relations Office by calling Sue Deike at 641-450-5001 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
