Dear Mercer Parents/Guardians,
I hope you are surviving the cold winter. Hopefully, spring is right
around the corner with its warmer weather to create some type of
normal schedule for the staff and students. This spring, Mercer will be hosting the annual PTSA Mercer
Madness, the three-on-three basketball tournament with lots of
excitement. This will take place on March 20th in the Mercer gyms.
Come on out and have some fun with the family. Food and drinks
will be on sale in the cafeteria. Hopefully, we have seen the last of the snow as the students head
into the testing season. First up is the Writing SOL for eighth grade
students. The multiple choice portion begins on March 2nd, followed
by the short paper later that same week. Look for more testing
information on the Mercer Homepage and don’t forget to “like” us
on Facebook (we are almost to 500) to see great photos of all of the
wonderful things happening here. This spring will also begin Mercer’s preparations for the next school
year. We will make visits to each of the seven feeder schools to talk
to the rising sixth grade students. Instrument nights for the rising
sixth grade students will also continue. In addition, the school
counselors will finish up course selections with the students to
identify the teaching areas needed to meet the student requests. Finally, Mercer is very excited to announce that it has been selected
as a pilot school, second phase, for the Bring Your Own Technology
(BYOT) initiative. To be accepted, Mercer had to submit an
application to meet certain criteria. Among many items to check-
off, Mercer had to demonstrate its commitment to integrate
technology to enhance the curriculum. Additionally, Mercer had to
work with the students on completing instruction in Digital
Citizenship and Responsibilities. This work has taken place in
Keyboarding classes, and through Media Specialist and Technology
Resource Teacher’s lessons. As a result, the bandwidth at Mercer
will be expanded to include an open network for students and staff to
access during the school day for instructional purposes with their
own personal devices. Obviously, Mercer will need to manage and
leverage the technology carefully. An administrative meeting will
be take place with all of the pilot schools led by the LCPS
technology department to learn more specifics about the
implementation of BYOT. Once the information is known, Mercer
will share it with parents, students and staff. The target date to begin
the pilot program will be sometime after Spring Break. Stay tuned
for more information, including some parent information nights for
BYOT. It is very exciting!
In This Issue...
Have a great Spring Break with your families as we head down the
home stretch of the remainder of the school year.
