Student Schedules & Required Forms
|
The 2020-21 student schedules will be posted on PowerSchool Friday, August 7 at 6pm. Please note that student Cohort Groups are still being determined and will be published and available early next week. Thank you for your patience as we work to best accommodate our school community!
As a reminder, all students and families must be sure all required forms are submitted on FinalForms and student billing account (including iPad and tuition) is current in order to access course schedule, Mercy student email and purchase books (bookstore opens August 12).
- Mercy utilizes FinalForms for required student record information. FinalForms allows you to electronically complete and sign enrollment, back-to-school, and athletic participation forms for your daughter(s). Parents should have received an account confirmation email from FinalForms in early July. From this email, please click the registration link and follow the steps to login and access your student(s). If you did not receive an email from FinalForms, please check your spam/bulk email folder or contact Kate Scalzi at [email protected].
I f you are unable to access PowerSchool using your username and password, try resetting your password using the "Having Trouble Signing In?" link. Once in PowerSchool, the "Grades & Attendance" icon will give the list of classes for the whole school year. The "Exp" column lists the hour the class meets. To see a matrix view for first semester with room numbers click the "My Schedule" icon. Any periods not listed are unscheduled periods.
Schedules were reviewed by counselors to resolve any known issues. Please have your daughter email her counselor if there is a "true" issue with her schedule (such as an incorrect course, course not scheduled or full year courses not scheduled all year).
Please note: The master schedule was built (sections and staffing) based on student course selections made in the spring. Alternates, at times, were used to complete schedules when necessary. Students with unresolved conflicts in their schedules were emailed. Please have your daughter check for an email regarding a schedule conflict (current students) or from the Admissions Office (new students) before emailing her counselor. The only other schedule changes counselors will handle, the first week of school, are straight drops (except AP or Honors courses per contract signed to enroll) or adds (if space is available). Schedules will not be rearranged to accommodate a "change of mind."
10-12th Grade Counselors:
Freshwoman/Transfer Parents: Please email [email protected] if you are unable to locate your login to PowerSchool or need a login set up in PowerSchool.

BNC K-12 powered by MBS has worked hard with our Mercy Staff to provide a comprehensive list of books needed for your daughter's courses and offers
Shop by Schedule, which enables students to enter their Mercy Student ID in order to access their entire schedule's course materials on the Virtual Bookstore.
*Please note the shop by schedule feature is only available for students who have completed required school forms and current billing account.* This allows your daughter to add all of her course materials to her shopping cart at one time, eliminating the need to select each course individually.
Shop by Course is also available using your student schedule. Feel free to experience this easy and convenient ordering method by visiting our BNC K-12 powered by MBS Virtual Bookstore and try it out for yourself!
-
- Under "Shop by Schedule", enter your student ID number
- Confirm that you are that Mercy student - click "Continue"
- You'll see your course materials and can select items to check out when ready
Since every Mercy student will have an iPad to facilitate her learning, consider digital formats in lieu of a hardbound textbook. It's truly a matter of preference. We really hope students take advantage of the many digital book options available; however, please read and follow the Teacher Course Messages listed and carefully check your order details before checkout.
Contact Mercy Book Purchasing Coordinator Kelly Bickes at [email protected] with any questions.
