If parents/guardians wish to move their daughter from remote learning to 5-day-a-week in-person learning, they are asked to fill out the Return To Campus Request form, which can be found on MyMMA on the "Student Handbook and Resources" resource tile. The parent/guardian will automatically receive an email outlining next steps to be taken upon submission of the form. These steps include providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test and completion of consent forms in MyMMA. Note: The transition process can take up to 10 days to complete.
Progress Reports
Progress reports will be posted in MyMMA on Thursday, April 1. Not every student receives a progress report. Only students whose grades have declined since Interim 3 or who are in danger of not passing a course will receive a progress report. School Life Prep Bus
Families who patronize the Prep Bus system are reminded to click here for a transportation update that Dr. Pidot recently sent to parents/caregivers regarding service for the remainder of spring semester.
Spring Uniform
The spring uniform will go into effect starting Tuesday, April 6, which is the first day back after the Easter holiday recess. As a reminder of what the requirements and regulations are, you can access an explanation by clicking here.
As a Catholic, independent school, we honor and value the tradition of our dress code. What's more, by enforcing the designs laid out in the 2020-2021 code, we engender pride in what the uniform stands for, just like we take pride in the students themselves. The Merion dress code is iconic, seasonally adaptive, and well respected. While there are certain, limited accommodations that are on offer for environmental comfort as needed or as atmospheric conditions merit, let's work together to embrace and don the uniform in adherent ways. Thank you for your cooperation.
