This is a reminder from the September 25, 2020 communication in regard to student Cohort attendance. Please know that our teachers are working hard to accommodate in-person and remote students and give them an equitable experience. Teachers create their plans for the Cohorts accordingly and when students decide to not show up in-person, it throws off their teaching and class plans. We do not want sick students in the building and teachers are willing to adjust for those situations.
We are committed to helping our students continue to grow academically, spiritually and socially and the engagement of in-person learning is valuable. The important takeaway is that you are aware that the remote option is not meant for students who just don't feel like coming to school.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support in having your daughter present, when healthy and well, on her respective Cohort school days.

Student received the following message on 9/24 in regard to AP Exam Ordering:
If you are currently enrolled in an AP class and registered on MyAP through Collegeboard an AP exam will be ordered for you the week of 9/28. Your tuition account will be charged $94 for each AP exam.
If you have not used the JOIN code to enroll in your AP Course section on Collegeboard, please do so ASAP. All students in AP courses are expected to take the AP exam in May. Once the order is placed, a $40 late fee will apply if yours is not ordered by the deadline. Make sure to check the date your exam is scheduled in May. If you have an approved "late testing date" conflict with the exam date your AP is scheduled please contact Ms. McMaster cmcmaster@mhsmi.org.
If you would like to take additional AP exams, please email cmcmaster@mhsmi.org by Tuesday, September 29, 2020. You will need a JOIN code to enroll in an "exam only" section to be included on Mercy's order.
