Perdew Elementary School

Shannon Mason

Welcome to fifth grade! My name is Shannon Mason and I am beyond excited to be your child's teacher! This will be my 23rd year with Etiwanda School District and my second year teaching fifth grade at Perdew. I earned my bachelor's degree from Cal Poly Pomona and my teaching credential from Cal State San Bernardino. I have a passion for teaching and learning. I truly believe I learn just as much from my students as they do from me. I enjoy watching my students make connections and discover the world around them. I set very high expectations for my students and work extremely hard to create a classroom that feels safe, positive, and engaging in order to foster the best possible environment for student learning. I look forward to all this year has in store and can't wait to meet your child!

A little more about me...I have two daughters, Caiteyn is 20 and Carlie is 17. When I'm not at school, I love to travel, go to concerts, and boating on the lake.
