Secured Entrances September 15, 2023
Hopefully all of our parents have been on campus already to see the new secured entrances at each building.
In all three student attendance centers, another set of doors has been added to help keep our kids safe and make our flow of traffic more efficient.
I could not be more proud of our recent campus improvements, as we work hard to make Mendota #289 the best that it can be for our kids!
Please reach out with any questions that you may have by dropping me a note at bcox@m289.org.
Be safe. Be well.

¡No podría estar más orgulloso de nuestras recientes mejoras en el campus, mientras trabajamos duro para hacer de Mendota #289 lo mejor posible para nuestros niños!

Mendota District #289 is so excited for the 2023-2024 school year. Over the span of the summer, we have made quite a few changes to improve our school District with an abundance of positive feedback from the community! Take a drive past the track and admire the newly painted bleachers and updated roof and siding to our equipment shed. Enjoy a game this year in our newly renovated Northbrook gym or take a stroll to play on the new playground equipment at Lincoln school. We are taking pride in our students and staff; growing to meet their needs.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow Friday August 18 for the First Day of School!
