A fantastic opportunity from the Lion's Club!
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.

To continue the tradition, if you have 🖍️ 🖍️ 🖍️ that you no longer use and would like to donate, please deliver them to the Northbrook office, attention Miss Henkel.
