Visit Our Campus

Parents and authorized adults are welcome on campus. State law requires visitors report to the office and sign in and out. They must also pick up a VISITOR or VOLUNTEER badge at that time. The badge must be worn at all times on our campus. Parents are asked not to bring preschoolers or other children for classroom visits. Younger children can distract both the visitor and the class. Because teachers must give their full attention to their students, we also ask that you arrange conferences outside school hours rather than when you visit the classroom. Student visitors are not allowed at Mendoza during school hours, primarily because they require attention that could better be directed to current Mendoza students.

Volunteers- When volunteering for any activity at school, please check in at the office and sign in our volunteer “guest book” on your own sheet.  We want you to become known to all our students, staff, and other volunteers and ask that you make sure to put on your volunteer nametag before beginning your activity.  Our students have been instructed, as part of our personal safety program, that adults wearing volunteer nametags are invited guests of the school. 

Classroom Visits - Please do not go to your child’s classroom even if you are just dropping off homework, lunch, or money without checking in first.  We would like very much not to interrupt learning and testing time.  If you are on campus to go beyond the office and are not wearing a visitor or volunteer badge, you can expect to be asked by our staff to go to the office and sign in.  (Please be patient with us while we get to know you and if we have to ask for I.D.)
