Alternate Bus Routes
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
Mendota High School provides transportation to all of the preschool to grade 12 students within the Mendota Township High School district. Our students transfer buses at elementary school buildings. In the event of a work stoppage at the elementary public school buildings, MHS and Holy Cross students will transfer buses at alternate sites. Please listen to the local news as well as social media posts to know if there is a work stoppage that requires different transfer bus sites. The earliest possible date for a change could be October 16th.
