QUICK LINKS *Gmail clips - Must view entire message for Quick Links to work properly, click HERE. FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL ![]() Dear Mercy Families,
It is hard to believe we have been in Distance Learning for two and a half weeks. Please click here to share your feedback with us on what is working and what suggestions you might have to further develop our program. Thank you in advance for the feedback you share with us. We will review this feedback as well as the feedback from our students and teachers and make any changes that we feel would best benefit our students.
Thank you for your patience as we have taken time to learn how to best support our students' mental health while in Distance Learning. We absolutely want your daughter to be able to speak one-on-one with our Wellness Counselor, Ms. Phillips. Given the nature of Distance Learning we ask that all parents read and sign this statement and release regarding telecounseling. In order to ensure that all students have access to wellness counseling when needed, we ask that all families sign and return this document. You can use your daughter's iPad to sign this release through her Notability app and then you can email it directly to Ms. Phillip.
Catherine McAuley once said, "We should be shining lamps giving light to all around us." I certainly hope in these times that seem to be defined by so many unknowns and fears that we are a shining light to your family. There is no doubt that your daughters remain a shining lamp to us, and we are thankful for the smiles, kindness, and brilliance that they share with us on a daily basis. Many prayers of health to you and your loved ones.
We really miss you and your daughters!
Thanks, ALL SCHOOL NEWS ![]()
