Class of 2016:
 

The final days of senior year are quickly approaching. This email is to inform you about Mercy's new plan for Senior Final Exams. The last day of classes for seniors will either be May 17 or May 20 (depending on Sweepstakes sales. Mercy needs to hit the last target goal for May 20 to be off - SELL THOSE TICKETS!!!)

 

Senior Final Papers can be due May 10-17. There will not be a "no testing time period" for seniors but once a final experience is completed classwork can be given and graded but further homework (work to complete, additional reading, preparation for a quiz or test) should not be assigned. This will allow students time to work on other presentations, projects and prepare for final exams.

 

Senior Final Exam days will be May 23, 24 & 25. A final exam experience for seniors needs to occur on one of these days. Seniors need to be present in class May 23, 24, 25 only for final presentations, review days or final exams/papers. This will be determined by the classroom teacher. Seniors will be able to come and go as they please but must enter and exit the Reception Area doors after school begins at 8:20. Some sample scenarios: 1) A senior could have a review day on Monday, and the final exam given on Wednesday and therefore would only be expected in class on Monday, May 23 and Wednesday, May 25, 2) A paper could be turned in May 11 and not need to attend class May 23-25 since the final experience is complete, 3) Final presentations are held May 23-25 and all students are expected to be in class all days to present or critique other student presentations, 4) A final exam is given May 24 and students attend May 23 for a review and do not attend on May 25.

 

Please note: If a final paper is due on one of the exam days the paper will be accepted between 8-2:30 on that day. It needs to be handed to the individual classroom teacher.

 

ALL SENIORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE ON THURSDAY, MAY 26 FOR MERCY DAY OF CELEBRATION.  THIS DAY IS TO CELEBRATE YOU - THE CLASS OF 2016. SENIORS MUST BE IN ATTENDANCE AT HONORS CONVOCATION IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN SENIOR PARTIES AND MOVING UP.
