Student schedules will be available in MyMMA in late August.

If you have a question or concern about your schedule, contact Registrar Kelley Glynn.
 

Merion Mercy Academy has an online lunch payment service (MyKidsSpending) that will allow parents/guardians to make deposits directly into their daughter's meal account (available in early August), transfer funds between students in the same household, and have an email reminder sent when an account balance gets low.

Deposits can be made through ACH payments or by credit card. Each student's account will be updated nightly so that account balance information and payments will be current as of the following day.

Students make purchases/access these funds by tapping their MMA student ID card at the register in the Servery.

FAQs about MyKidsSpending can be found HERE.

Students must wear the regulation school uniform purchased from FlynnO’Hara.  We recommend you visit one of their stores for correct sizing and fit as they don’t typically match the sizing found in everyday clothing stores. 

Requirements:

The uniform consists of a plaid kilt (winter) or khaki skirt (fall/spring) and a white or navy uniform golf shirt (from FlynnO’Hara). 

• The khaki skirt should be no more than 4 inches above the knee.

• If a t-shirt is worn under the school golf shirt, it must be all white.

• Navy tights or leggings must be worn during winter and may be worn when there is cool weather, as determined by administration

• The official school uniform blazer, sweater or fleece (purchased from FlynnO’Hara), or an official school uniform sweatshirt (purchased from MMA Spirit Shop) may also be worn if/when the weather is cool.

• The official school uniform blazer must be purchased by every student as it is worn during Mass and other formal occasions.

• Footwear: students may wear brown tie shoes or all-white, low-top sneakers. Sneakers must have no color, including laces and logo. Shoes and sneakers must be worn with all-white socks that have at least a one-inch cuff. No colored socks are permitted.

Gym Uniforms:

• For gym, any Merion tee-shirt is acceptable, and any shorts even if they are not MMA branded.

Students are expected to be in full MMA fall uniform for Orientation and for the first day of school. We recommend placing your order a month or more before school begins to ensure timely delivery. 

If uniforms have been ordered but have not yet been delivered, please write a note for your daughter so that she may receive a uniform pass from the Office of School Life. 

Uniform-related questions should be addressed to Dean of Students Maya Johnson.

Summer assignments and school book lists will be posted in MyMMA under "Resources" by the week of May 27.

The book list shares detailed information on the books and workbooks that students are required to have at the start of the school year. Books may be purchased from your favorite bookseller. Keep in mind that not all classes require families to purchase books. If your class is not listed on the book list, it means the necessary materials will be provided by Merion Mercy.
