WEEKLY FEATURE ![]() We had a wonderful turnout and many fabulous comments at our Spring Open House this past Monday! Thank you to all the students, faculty, staff, coaches and parents who made the event so welcoming and informative for our 6th and 7th grade visitors by showing our Mercy hospitality.
I have the good fortune of seeing the families after they've explored the campus and experienced the Mercy distinction. They consistently express how impressed they are with our students and faculty. The best part is seeing the middle school girls who have huge smiles on their faces, so excited about the prospect of Mercy being their future home!
As I wrap up my tenth and final year here, I want to express my thanks to the parents for sharing your daughters with us, for your dedication to Mercy and for making my job such a pleasure! I will certainly miss this place and all of you. I have been blessed to be a part of this special community. As a final note, I'll leave you with my usual parting message: GO CRUSADERS!
- Patricia Glasser, Director of Admission All SCHOOL NEWS

Honors, AP, Tri-School Classes Students should check in regularly with teachers and counselors about their grades. It's easy to get distracted by the end-of-the year events! It is especially important for students who plan to take Honors, AP, or Tri-School classes to maintain their grades. Don't hesitate to discuss this with a current teacher, counselor, or the department chair if you have questions. If we do need to remove students from an advanced class because of grades, schedules could be rearranged and may not be able to accommodate selected courses.
Summer School: Students and parents, if you are planning to take a summer school class to ADVANCE (not remediate), you must send your counselor proof of registration for this course as soon as possible. We must receive the transcript from the online or summer school by Aug. 1. Please contact your counselor with questions or concerns. Click HERE for the Summer School Request form.
