Home Academy Association (HAA)

Thank you for your AMAZING support and huge turnout for our first HAA Meeting! Let's continue that enthusiasm this Thursday night, October 19th from 7pm-8pm. Please join us for our next Home Academy Association meeting of the year! This meeting is in-person only. There will be 8th graders available to  baby-sit any potty-trained students in the Art classroom. 

At Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy we want parents to get involved in the lives of our school and community. This meeting will explain the function of the HAA and how parents can get involved. This platform gives families the opportunity to join in making OLMCA the best it can be. We value your input and need your help to achieve all of our goals! Without you we cannot do it.
