Mercy Day of Celebration | Mercy High School

Dear Mercy Parents,

As we near the end of another wonderful school year, we have planned a special final day of celebration for our student body. The date is Thursday, May 26th. On this day the schedule will include the Honors Convocation, the adviser group parties, and the closing Moving Up assembly.

We hope that this day is a fitting end for students of every grade level, with special focus on our graduating Class of 2016. Our expectation is that all students will be present for the entire day. Please do not make appointments or arrangements for your daughter to either arrive late in the day or to leave early. It is our hope that students who wish to participate in adviser parties and Moving Up would also be in attendance at the Honors Convocation. Normal daily attendance procedures will be followed.

Please see important message about Moving Up procedures as well as a detailed schedule for the day listed below.

As always, we deeply appreciate your support and look forward to a memorable day of celebration!

Thank you,
Mercy High School Administration

MOVING UP

In recent years, Moving Up has attracted growing crowds of attending family members and alumnae. The ceremony is for the students first, but it goes against our grain to close the doors to other members of the community. Consequently we have guidelines for preventing the problem of people seating themselves in the student sections, crowding the aisles (interfering with the actual moving up process), and clogging the parking lot so that our buses could not get in or out.

If you intend to join us next week, we ask that you observe the following guidelines:

Seats will be clearly marked as reserved for students and staff and no one may venture into those areas.
No preferred seating arrangements will be made for the elderly, children, etc. This event is not suited for any visitor who cannot stand comfortably for forty minutes.
Absolutely no parking will be allowed in unlined spaces in the lot. Security will direct vehicles away from our bus lanes.
No one will be allowed to roam the aisles to take photographs during the ceremony. We truly need everyone to practice restraint so as not to hinder the students as they move to their new sections of the auditorium.

Please understand that we have to give priority to the students and the operation of the school on Moving Up. It is a special occasion that warrants a special request for cooperation so that we can all enjoy it.
