A reminder for all Mendota 289 Families: Pastry Puffin order forms and money are due tomorrow, Friday, September 12th.


Lincoln Families -
There is a light at the end of the tunnel for our road construction going on around Lincoln . We have appreciated your patience while the city has been repaving the roads. I just received a call that the repaving should be finished today, but there still may be some construction and closed roads at pick up today. We ask for just a little bit more patience and help with keeping our students safe at dismissal today. Some Mendota police officers may be present to help with traffic flow if needed.
Thank you so much for all of your help in keeping our pick up and drop off procedures running smoothly even through construction.


Please check your email for more detailed information regarding Grandparents Day at Lincoln School which will take place Monday, September 8th. The flier attached to the email is included with this post.


Lincoln Families - Please avoid 7th and 8th streets at drop off this morning. Repaving work has begun. Students will be inside this morning due to the dust.
