IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE |
The Mercy Administration is currently reviewing yesterday's updated guidelines from the MDHHS concerning revised COVID-19 quarantine and isolation protocols. Any modifications to our procedures will be communicated soon. Current school guidelines are listed and linked below.
COVID-19 Reporting & Reminders
In assessing the health and safety of our community, we ask that any student COVID-19 positive test result or exposure be reported to the Dean of Student Affairs, Mrs. Eleasha Tarplin (edtarplin@mhsmi.org or 248-893-3568). COVID-19 data within our Mercy HS community is disclosed at the end of each week on our COVID-19 webpage. Please know that you will be personally contacted if you are ever considered to be at any exposure risk.
Students/staff who test positive for COVID-19 are still required to isolate for 10 days. Persons who are exposed to COVID-19 and not fully vaccinated and/or are showing symptoms are required to quarantine for 7 days with a negative PCR test result (test cannot be taken earlier than 5 days post exposure) or 10 days. Quarantine questions can be directed to Nurse Patricia Attaway, pattaway@mhsmi.org, 248-893-3587.
Remote learning is only available to students required to isolate due to a positive COVID-19 test result or mandatory quarantine. Parents/guardians must submit online learning requests to Dean of Student Affairs, Eleasha Tarplin (edtarplin@mhsmi.org) and will be notified of approval within 24 hours.
