Good Evening, Hugh Mercer Students and Families,
This is your principal, Mr. Snyder, with some reminders for the upcoming school year.
We are working hard at Hugh Mercer to be ready for the start of a new school year, and we are so excited to welcome you back to Hugh Mercer Elementary School!
The school supply lists are now available online and on our social media pages. For your convenience, I've also attached the list to this email.

Responsibility Centered Discipline (RCD) Implementation
We will continue our division-wide implementation of Responsibility Centered Discipline. Our school-wide foundations are attached for you to review with your child. This initiative is part of our commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all students. Patriot PRIDE will be our guide with all we do once you enter Hugh Mercer.
