Check out this fun and free opportunity for our students after Christmas. Thank you to the Mendota Lions Club for always doing things for our youth!
Mendota 289 School District is pleased to announce that
we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our
schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and
staff. Part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our
buildings at all times and the Raptor system will allow us to do that. The
Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and
volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for
our students and staff. Please review the flier for more information about what to expect when visiting our schools.
For our November kind deed to the community, the students at Blackstone made placemats for Thanksgiving dinner at Stonecroft and Allure. We hope the residents and their families enjoy the artwork. Pictured are the students in Mrs. Mikolasek and Mrs. Kramer’s classes showing off what they did.
December menus are posted. Check out all of the awesome breakfast and lunch options for the upcoming month!

For Blackstone's October kind deed, our students made fliers to spread the message about the dangers of drugs.
