Wellness Committee Survey
The Wellness Committee at Mercer School is required to make a recommendation to the Board regarding District policies on snacks provided as part of class parties, birthday snacks, and other celebrations. Snacks that are sold must follow the Smart Snack policy, but that does not apply to food that is provided and not sold. The Wellness Committee wants to hear from students, parents, and the community before making a recommendation so that the policy is aligned with community values. You can assist by completing the anonymous survey below:
Environment for Learning
Strategic Priority: Environment for Learning
The physical, social, and emotional environment for learning is designed and maintained to provide a safe, creative, engaging, and dynamic space for learners.
Exciting Playground Renovation News!
Mercer School is thrilled to move forward with plans to renovate our playground, beginning with a new blacktop installation scheduled for Spring 2025. This project is made possible through a generous grant from the Iron County Health Department, aimed at increasing opportunities for physical activity and social engagement in the community.
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life!
Hiring a Custodian
Mercer School is in the process of hiring a full-time custodian to support our dedicated buildings and grounds staff. As we undertake important projects funded by the recent voter-approved referendum, this new role will be essential in helping us balance these initiatives with the day-to-day needs of our school.
Our buildings and grounds staff work hard to ensure our facilities are safe, clean, and welcoming for students, staff, and the community. With the additional projects on the horizon—ranging from facility updates to improvements that enhance the learning environment—the need for extra support has become clear. The custodian will help us complete these projects efficiently while keeping up with regular maintenance tasks and day-to-day operations.
We’re excited to strengthen our team and continue making Mercer School a top-notch place to learn and grow. Thank you to our community for supporting these developments, and stay tuned for more updates as we progress on these important improvements!
Be a part of the great things that are happening at Mercer School!

Attendance Matters
For children and teens, attending school isn’t just about getting an education. It’s about developing their whole selves—emotionally, socially, and personally.
Attending school regularly and in person gives students the ability to follow daily routines, as well as connect with friends, peers, teachers, and others outside their family circle. They’re able to engage and interact, to use their brains and try new things. They can be part of a team. They have a purpose.
Help your child be their best self. Promote good attendance.
