Hugh Mercer Elementary School

We had a fantastic time on our field trips to the Sunshine Ballpark. It was so great seeing our friends from all the schools!

Here are some more pictures from Spirit Week. We love seeing our scholars every single day. Attendance matters because you matter.

Here are the patriots for this week! They were both nominated for showing the patriot core value of teamwork.

We celebrated career day on Thursday for our Spirit Week. "Dress for the job you want." We loved seeing everything from astronaut to princess to lawyer and so much more!

We've been showing up for attendance awareness this week by participating in spirt days. Monday, we wore our favorite teams T-shirts and jerseys. Tuesday was color wars day. And today was wacky, tacky day.

Kindergarten is learning about community helpers. Officer Reed, our school resource officer, came to visit and talk about being a first responder! Did you know he likes to eat ice cream for breakfast?

Third graders shared the special things about their heritage and culture that make them unique.

We are excited to celebrate our first spirt week of the year.

Please Note: We will be moving from daily updates to weekly updates starting next week.

Beginning Monday, September 15, Fredericksburg City Public School’s Transportation updates will be delivered through ParentSquare to bus route-specific groups. We created this mechanism internally and have tested it to be sure it works as designed. While we do not expect any issues Monday, there may be some as this is the first official roll-out. Our goal is to efficiently communicate with you.

All bus updates will be pushed as Alerts, which means all updates will be instantaneous.

Parents/Guardians and Secondary Students should expect to see a text message from 66458.

Please contact your child’s school if any additional recipients (Guests) need to be added to your child’s ParentSquare Alerts list.

There's nothing scary about counting spiders in kindergarten 🙂

The Elementary schools joined forces for the first week of the Walking club. A positive way for our staff to get together with the added bonus of walking

Join us this Thursday for the first PTA meeting of the year. The meeting will be held in the school library starting at 6 pm.

Mrs. Taylor's class was given the task of using string and yarn to move plastic cups to build a tower. Students had to use teamwork and communication to figure out how they were going to build the tower.
