Instructions for Parents Registering for Mercy's GroupFusion

We are pleased to announce the creation of Mercy’s GroupFusion, the web-based software utilized by Mercy to provide individualized classroom websites for teachers to post homework, upload class notes and other files and provide links to relevant internet sites. Parents and students have one easy place to find homework assignments, upcoming test dates, class announcements and a class calendar. Web pages for student clubs and parent organizations are available and the software includes a web-integrated school calendar system.

This software is primarily for use by students, parents and faculty. Parents are invited and encouraged to use the instructions to register and begin using Mercy’s GroupFusion.

The Faculty/Staff area is a private area for faculty and staff only.

Mercy’s GroupFusion

Registration and Log in Instructions for Parents

- Click on "New users click here to sign up" in the upper left corner of this page.

- Enter all requested information to the registration form. For user name, please enter your e-mail address.

- Click on “click here to register.”

- The next page indicates that you have successfully registered and provides the opportunity to join “groups” within four categories: classrooms, student groups, faculty and staff and parent groups. Parents are welcome to join classrooms (for those classes for which your daughter is registered) and parent groups, but student groups and faculty and staff are private areas and will not accept parents as group members. If you know all or some of your daughter’s classes, you may join those classroom groups as part of the registration process. Once registered, you will have the opportunity to join your daughter’s classroom groups at any time.

- To join a classroom or parents group as part of the registration process, click the box to the left of the group name to “check” that you wish to join that group.

- After “checking” those groups you wish to join, click “join selected groups” at the bottom of the page (even if you have opted not to join any groups at this time).

- The next page is your personal, private Mercy’s GroupFusion web page. Registered members may use this page to store files, access groups, maintain a personal calendar and more.

To view or change your password or other personal information, click “personal preferences”
Note that the groups you requested to join are marked “pending” on your personal web page.

When you have completed the registration process, you will be able to log in to Mercy’s GroupFusion at any time with your user name and password, so be sure to write them down. You will receive an e-mail from Lori Biega(lbiega@mercyhigh.com) indicating that your registration has been completed and restating your user name and password.

Any time you request to join a group, you will receive an e-mail from webmaster@centrifugesolutions.com indicating that you have been accepted into the group by the classroom teacher or group administrator. You will then be able to access classroom pages by clicking the “parents” tab at the top of any page and choosing "classrooms" from the dropdown menu. On the “classrooms” homepage, click on the appropriate department, and then click on your daughter’s class.

Please be aware that if you request to join a private group (such as faculty and staff) or a classroom in which your daughter is not registered, you will not be accepted as a group member.

We hope you will explore Mercy’s GroupFusion to become familiar with all that it has to offer. If you have questions on how to use Mercy’s GroupFusion or experience difficulty with the site, please contact Lori Biega (lbiega@mercyhigh.com) at MercyHigh School (860)346-6659.
