Bonillas Family Update
8/28/22
Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Community Members,
I am proud to announce that we had our first lockdown at Bonillas. TUSD School Safety was present. The campus was secured within 6 seconds! TUSD School Safety said it was the best lockdown they have seen and shared that Bonillas is one of the top schools in regards to safety. We will continue to practice our safety drills.
Have a great week,
Frankie
