Attention Father Mercredi High School families,
Grades 10-12 only at Father Mercredi High School will transition to online/virtual learning from March 30th to April 1st, 2021. This means grades 10, 11, and 12 at Father Mercredi High School will be closed to all students from March 30 to April 1, 2021.
This is solely due to staffing capacity issues as a result of multiple isolations due to COVID-19 positive test results in our community.

All students will be returning to in school instruction at the completion of Easter Break on April 12, 2021.
