Mercy has embraced technology and all of our students use iPads.  Technology is also being used to communicate and support families.  We also are using this website to provide families access to key information about your daughters and the school.

Parents Web:  Provides access to grades, resources, forms and much more.

Current Families:  Announcements, background information, key events and contacts, quick links to helpful information and more.

Outlined below are some simple steps to help your daughter with technology. If you have questions, contact Corey Petersen, Director of Technology.  

 

Getting Tech Help

Reference the bottom of this page first to see if someone else has had your question and if there was a solution that worked for them.  If that solution doesn't work for you, email me and we will figure it out together! Check back on this page anytime you have a new issue as I will be updating it routinely.

Do your best to work through issues, but PLEASE email me (petersenc@mercyhigh.org) if none of the resources on this page fix your issue. Here are a couple generic fixes for you to try:

  • Restart your iPad
  • Uninstall and Reinstall the app in question
  • Sign out and sign back in
  • Turn off your Wi-Fi and turn it back on
  • Move closer to your Wi-Fi router or just to a different part of your house.
  • Ask a friend or your teacher to see if they know a solution
  • Google the issue and see if the internet has a solution
  • Make sure you are signed in with your Mercy account, not a personal account.
