Mason Elementary School

"My family had a terrible experience in the this school. my autistic son was sent here to be part of this inclusion school in kindergarten (k2) . There was always a reason the teacher wouldn't allowed my son to attend field trips or participate in extra things. example-kids looked at and touched worms in science. I was told my son was not allowed to participate for fear he would hurt worms. Little did the teacher know that given the opportunity my son would have passed not wanting to go anywhere near the worms. but they made it a point to single him out and make him feel bad and different. He was not allowed to do special things on the computer for fear he might break it. Computers are what my son enjoys most and has always had nothing but respect for electronics. For his entire kindergarten year he attended there he went on zero field trips with his class because his teachers always found a reason he should be punished by excluding him from trip. (some inclusion school they turned out to be) and to top of our experience with Samuel mason my 6year old autistic son was left outside of the school at the end of the day by himself without his glasses. His bus driver (who was picking up my son only. And had only been doing so for a few days) saw my son alone put him on the bus drove him home explained how she pulled up and saw him alone with no glasses and no supervision. To top this off about a half hour after my son was dropped off the school called asking if anyone would be coming to pick my son up that day. This school had no idea of my son's whereabouts or safety for at least 45 minutes to an hour if not more. Absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable. One woman in the office actually skipped past an apology or excuse and informed me that it was chalked up to a learning experience... Which is more learning that my son received there... beware of this school..."
