As you may recall, Mercy utilizes FinalForms for required student record information. FinalForms allows you to electronically complete and sign enrollment, back-to-school, and athletic participation forms for your daughter(s). 

Returning parents, your account information is the same as last year. Click here to access and update your FinalForms student account. (New parents will receive an account confirmation email from FinalForms in the coming days. From this email, please click the registration link and follow the steps to login and access your student.)

We kindly request you complete your FinalForms submission by August 4, 2025. Note that this includes acknowledgement of school policies in the Student Family Handbook. 

All students and families must be sure all required forms are signed and submitted online through your FinalForms account in order for a student to receive their course schedule. If you have any questions or issues, contact Kate Scalzi at kmscalzi@mhsmi.org.
