Mendota Elementary School is fortunate to have the support of an active, generous, and enthusiastic PTA. Click here to learn more about their important work.

School is in session from 7:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Students should not arrive at school before 7:20 a.m. Students who are not riding the buses should be picked up promptly at 2:15 p.m.

Family and community members are welcome to visit Mendota during the school day provided the visit is consistent with the health, education and safety of students and employees. Visitors (parents, guardians, short-term substitute teachers, volunteers, contractors, vendors, etc.) MUST enter and exit through a school building's main entrance and complete the check-in or check-out process. All other entrances to the building are locked and secured and are not entrances for visitors.

During the check-in process visitors will be asked the purpose for their visit and the staff person with which they have scheduled an appointment. They will also be given a badge that must be worn for the duration of the visit. All regular volunteers must follow this process throughout the school year.

If you are interested in volunteering at Mendota please call the school at 651-403-8000.
