If your daughter is planning on playing a sport, please make sure they are fully registered and cleared through the Magnus system. You need to register each year your daughter plays a sport, accessible from the Parent Portal in Powerschool. A current sports physical (valid for one year) is required to show clearance. No athlete will be allowed to start tryouts unless they show clearance in the Magnus system.
We are pleased to announce that we have hired a full time, certified Athletic Trainer, Keri Sotak. She will be available to treat our athletes Monday - Friday during lunch period, select collaboration days, and after school in the Grassilli Center. Girls should contact Ms. Sotak directly at ksotak@mercyhsb.com to set up treatment times when needed. Keri will also be coordinating our Strength and Conditioning Program. IMPORTANT REMINDERS
