Welcome to Merry Acres Middle Magnet School of Medical Arts where we provide all students with opportunities to maximize their academic, social, emotional, and physical potential with 21st century learning opportunities. In addition to being a zoned school, the school also offers a district-wide magnet program centered on medical arts. Merry Acres has a history of developing productive, technologically literate critical thinkers who will be held accountable for their learning through high expectations with a commitment from parents, guardians, teachers, administrators, stakeholders, and the students themselves. Our curriculum and instruction support researched-based instructional practices and strategies for differentiated, innovative, and effective teaching and learning based on the state-adopted standards. Furthermore, all faculty and staff members will make every effort to ensure a safe and orderly learning environment. Such an environment will enhance the opportunity for each student to have a successful year. Parents, guardians, and students please take the time to read the handbook and be governed accordingly. Once again, welcome to your Learning Community, Merry Acres Middle Magnet School of Medical Arts. We are proud of our highly enthusiastic parents organization (PTO). Parents as well as community members are invited to join Merry Acres Students of the Month for a special breakfast each month honoring exemplary students. Do you have what it takes to be a Brave?
