MMA Weekly • September 27, 2020 Welcome to the MMA Weekly!
The "MMA Weekly" covers important announcements, the school calendar, and other co-curricular updates. Since the calendar is subject to occasional adjustments, please be sure to visit the calendar on the MyMMA platform or check the live calendar on our website throughout the week too. Health Center Health and Wellness
Our Merion families play a vital role in helping us maintain safety on campus. We depend on each of you, and in turn we all depend on each other. As a community that prioritizes health and safety, we must all do our part to adhere to government health recommendations and regulations to control transmission of Covid-19 and avoid potential future outbreaks.
We expect all Merion Mercy students to avoid large gatherings, particularly those that are social in nature, unsupervised, and do not follow the above risk-mitigation habits.

We are looking to plan a Flu Shot Clinic for our students on Saturday, October 17. Please fill out the survey below if your daughter would like to get the flu shot at Merion Mercy.
