• Eighth graders are not required to wear their grade school uniform; they may dress comfortably in appropriate clothes for school. T-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, sweatpants, jeans, and comfortable shoes are all fine to wear!
• Students may bring a water bottle to have with them throughout the day.
• Lunch will be provided to students free of charge. Students may opt to bring their own lunch if they wish or if they have special dietary needs.
• Students will be dismissed at 3 p.m. and can be picked up in the front driveway. Please be advised that the front driveway gets crowded by 2:45 p.m.

On the morning of each of the seven primary Shadow Days, eighth grade parents are invited to learn more about Mercy McAuley from our school leaders in a small, conversational setting. Join our school leaders for coffee and discussion about Mercy McAuley's values, our academic and extracurricular offerings, and get answers to all of your questions. Optional tours are available following the conversation. These Coffee Sessions are held on the scheduled Shadow Days, which makes it convenient for parents who are dropping their daughter off to shadow. If you plan to attend the coffee session, please indicate this on the Shadow Day registration form.
