Happy Sunday La Merced Families: We have had trouble with finding ways to get beginning of year forms completed since many students were full remote and were not at school for us to send the packet home with them. One form WE MUST have on file is the Technology Form, especially since we are conducting classes remotely. Please take a couple minutes to complete this form. It is very short and should take less than 2-minutes to complete, IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ALREADY COMPLETED THE FORM, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND COMPLETE THIS FORM AGAIN. You DO need to complete a different one for EACH student you have at La Merced. Thank you for your assistance! From: Mrs. Montoya

La Merced Parents and Guardians: We will be starting our Quarterly Illuminate Testing next week. Here is a letter with instructions that the district has provided. Please remember that this is an assessment in which students should complete on their own with NO assistance. This will help us identify learning gaps for your child so we can see how we can best help them moving forward. This is the first time we are adminstering the test school-wide from home so we are depending on you to ensure our data is as accurate as it can be! Thank you all!!! From: Mrs. Montoya
