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.

Entradas seguras 15 de septiembre de 2023
Esperemos que todos nuestros padres ya hayan estado en el campus para ver las nuevas entradas seguras en cada edificio.
En los tres centros de asistencia estudiantil, se agregó otro juego de puertas para ayudar a mantener seguros a nuestros niños y hacer que nuestro flujo de tráfico sea más eficiente.
¡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!
Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese conmigo enviándome una nota a bcox@m289.org.
Cuidense. Que esten bien.
