L.E.A.S.E. will be holding free preschool screenings at First United Methodist Church, 100 E. Sixth St. Mendota on Tuesday, April 11th in the morning. You may make an appointment by calling Jean at 815-433-6433. The screenings are for children who are 3 or 4 years old. L.E.A.S.E. will screen key developmental areas such as motor development, speech, language, vision, hearing and general readiness.
All children must be screened to be considered for the Mendota District #289 Preschool Program. If your child is currently enrolled in the Mendota District Preschool for All Program, he/she does not need to be screened again. Applications for Mendota District #289 Preschool will be at the screenings. The applications and screenings will be reviewed by the preschool team, and you will be contacted as to whether your child qualifies for preschool.
Mendota Elementary District#289 offers three need-based programs for three and four year olds: One is a Developmental Program for students who qualify for Special Education Services due to a significant delay in one or more areas and two PreSchool for All Programs that are funded through a State Grant and have specific qualifiers as “need-based” programs.
Congratulations are in order for several 7th and 8th grade band members. They participated in solo festival in Ottawa last Saturday (3/18) where they had to perform a prepared solo for a judge. Every Mendota student earned a Division 1 or Division 2 rating overall (Excellent or Good)!!!

Students will need wired headphones, not bluetooth wireless earbuds. The bluetooth connectivity affects the testing in a negative way.
Please bring wired headphones to testing so to make everything as seamless as possible.
