La Mesa Update
October 13, 2019
Hello La Mesa Families,
Por favor, desplácese hacia abajo para seleccionar español.
It was a crazy Thursday and Friday last week. We are so grateful for the minimal impact to our valley. We want to thank everyone for their support as our District made some challenging calls to ensure students and staff were safe given the weather and fire situation.
This Thursday, October 17th, our students will participate in the annual Great Shake Out earthquake drill.
Sincerely,
Michele Krantz
Principal
