Dear Mercer Families,

Welcome to the 2017-18 school year! As we begin to settle in and work toward supporting our students’ success, I want to take a moment to highlight systems we use toward strong school and family communication. Knowing whom to contact, staying up to speed with the events and activities, and being aware of student progress are all keys to student success and component of strong school and home partnership.

Hello 6th Grade Mercer Families!

We want to welcome students and families to a new school year as a Mercer Mustang!

To help with your 6th grade student’s first week transition, all we ask them to bring are three items:

1. A backpack,
2. A pencil pouch with several pencils, and
3. A simple 2-pocket folder.

Starting Monday, September 11, 6th graders will need to bring a 3-ring zipper cloth binder, dividers, and other supplies. We will teach students how to set up their binder, so please do not write on your dividers.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, September 6 in the Auditorium when you pick up your class schedule!

Thank you!

Ms. Encarnacion, 6th Grade Assistant Principal
Mr. Malaki, 6th Grade Counselor

This summer our district and school websites are receiving a major facelift. Our first priority for the website redesign project is to ensure families, students, staff, and community can easily find critical district and school resources.
