I hope this email finds you and your loved ones healthy. We are happy to be back to school with your daughters! The Mercy faculty and staff returned to school on Monday for a faculty and staff retreat. We took time to share what/who has brought us light, hope and/or life during shelter in place, and it was a wonderful shared reflection. I encourage you to take the time to reflect on where you have seen light this past month and to engage in a family conversation that invites your daughters to share their insight with you. I am sure the conversation will bring a smile to your face and a moment of connectedness just as it did for the faculty and staff.
We are very excited that this Friday Mercy alum, Congresswoman Jackie Speier has reached out to host an assembly for our students. She will be sharing about COVOD-19 in our community and challenging times and opening up a Q&A for the students. We are thankful for a giving alumnae community!
Thanks,

On Friday April 3, The CIF voted to cancel the spring season for all athletic competition, thus, ending the Spring season for our Gymnastic, Lacrosse, Softball, Swimming and Track and Field teams. While the decision was not unexpected due to the on going shelter in place mandate, it was still very disappointing news for all of our student athletes who put in a substantial amount of preparation to participate on their teams.
We still have some athletes that did not turn in uniforms. Once school resumes, all uniforms will be expected to be turned back. Any uniforms not turned back in will result in the family being charged a replacement fee.

UPDATE:
SAT exam
AP exams
The colleges are well aware of what is happening and how it will affect our Class of 2021. I am hopeful that they will adjust their admissions criteria and process in a way that helps all applicants in the Class of 2021. As more colleges are going test-optional, I am following what the colleges will do for our students affected by Coronavirus. I will keep you informed through the enews, but feel free to email me directly with questions. I will continue to update you as I hear more from the colleges.
