Student Schedules
|
2016-17 schedules are now posted on PowerSchool (https://mhsmi.powerschool.com/public/). If you are unable to access using your username and password, try resetting your password using the "Having Trouble Signing In?" link. 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. Your daughter's schedule is not available if her Student Billing account (including iPad and tuition) is not current. If you have questions regarding her Student Billing account, please contact Mrs. Hayes in the Business Office at 248-893-3580 or arhayes@mhsmi.org. The Business Office is open 8:30am-2:30pm. Schedules were reviewed last week 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 from Colleen Rozman or the Admissions Office 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." 9th Grade Counselor:

Book Purchasing
|
Once your daughter obtains her 2016-2017 schedule through PowerSchool, you're ready to purchase books for the upcoming school year. All the information is detailed on Mercy's Book Purchasing web page.
Click on the MMBL and you'll notice each department is tabbed separately at the top. Refer to your daughter's schedule to find her teachers and courses to begin locating the various book needed as well as options available. For example, since departments are not listed on her schedule, click on the Social Studies tab on the top of the MMBL to find World History. Scroll to the course name and course number, then teacher. The rest of the course info with the specific book ISBN and Teacher Comments are to direct or assist in your daughter's book purchasing needs. If there's a digital format book option listed (iBook, downloadable), that's for you to discuss and select what would work best for her. Some students choose both, digital and hardbound text, that's why an ISBN is listed. There are no books needed for Art or Performing Arts, and where specifically stated on the MMBL. If you want to purchase your daughter's books using Follett's Virtual Bookstores (FVB), the link is also provided within the MMBL page. Follett offers free shipping on book orders during 8/9 - 8/23, and an additional 10% off on purchases from 8/9 - 8/12. Books that are back ordered are also included in this promotion. If you've encountered a book problem that you can't seem to resolve, please email the appropriate Department Chair listed at the bottom of the Book Purchasing webpage. |
