Dear Mercy Parent/Guardian,
 
COVID-19 positive cases both in Oakland County and across the state of Michigan continue to rise as had been predicted with weather changing and activities moving inside. We continue to closely monitor these numbers and will respond accordingly if we need to change our approach. It is important that we base any decision on our continuity of in-person instruction on the guidance we are receiving from the local health department and other community health experts.
 
 
Join the fall retreat to reflect on relationships of mothers and daughters. Hear wisdom testimonies from a young adult and mother. Participate in activities and conversations via Zoom.

After much consideration and discussion, the Mercy Curriculum Council and Administration made the decision to cancel traditional Final Exams for this Semester for all classes, with the exception of some AP classes. Students will have a Final Experience (final unit test, paper, presentation or project), but the traditional mandatory 20% weighting will be waived for the Fall 2020 Semester. Final grades will be posted on Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 9am.
