A huge THANK YOU to Crystal Bolles and the Cherokee Nation for inviting our Outdoor Oklahoma class to the Archery Range in Vinita today.

We’re proud of these young men and women and grateful for partnerships that create meaningful learning opportunities beyond the classroom. 💙🎯🐯 Go Tigers!

🔋 CHARGE UP, TIGERS! 🐯💙 As everyone gets ready to return to school on Tuesday, don’t forget one important thing… 👉 Plug in those Chromebooks! A fully charged Chromebook = a smooth start to the day. Let’s kick off the new semester powered up and ready to learn! ⚡📚 Reminder for all CMS & CHS students — school starts back tomorrow at your home school. Middle School athletes should report to CMS, High School Tech Ed students report to CHS, etc. Please go to your regular/home campus to start the day. Thanks and welcome back!

Welcome back, Tigers! 💙🐯 We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Christmas break with family and friends. Just a quick reminder: 📚 Monday, January 5th is a Professional Day for staff — no school for students. 🎒 Students return to school on Tuesday, January 6th. We’re excited to see our students back and ready for a great start to the new semester! Let’s make 2026 another great year in Commerce Public Schools! 💙 #TigerPride #CommerceProud #WeBleedTigerBlue

🎺🥇 Exciting News for Commerce Tigers! 🥇🎺 We’re thrilled to share that our high school band, under the fantastic direction of Mr. Dunn, just took home FIRST PLACE at the Miami Christmas Parade! Our students absolutely shined bright and represented Commerce Public Schools with pride and style. 🌟 A huge congratulations to every band member for their hard work and amazing performance. You’ve made our entire community proud once again. Let’s hear it for these talented students and for Mr. Dunn for leading the way! 👏🎶

Commerce Public Schools would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Quapaw Nation Marshal Service and the Quapaw Nation Emergency Management Service for hosting 36 of our students today for their Shop With a Cop program. The morning started off in our high school cafeteria, where our wonderful high school cooks served breakfast to all the kids at 8 AM. After shopping at Walmart with the officers, the students will return to school, and some of our own students will help wrap the gifts. Finally, our school resource officer, Marshall, will be delivering the presents to each child’s home, acting as our own Quapaw Marshal Santa Claus. It’s a fantastic event, and we are so thankful for all who made it possible!

Making some holiday memories...Ms. Crawford's PreK Class and their Gingerbread House!

💙🐯 Support Staff Appreciation Week 🐯💙
This week, we celebrate the incredible people who keep Commerce Public Schools running strong every single day!

Our support staff make sure our students are fed, our buildings are clean and safe, our classrooms have what they need, and our schools operate with care, consistency, and heart. They work behind the scenes, often without the spotlight — but our schools simply couldn’t function without them.

To every custodian, cook, secretary, paraprofessional, bus driver, maintenance worker, nurse, aide, and every other support professional in our district:

👉 THANK YOU for serving our students with pride.
👉 THANK YOU for caring deeply, working hard, and showing up every day for our kids.
👉 THANK YOU for being the heartbeat of Commerce Public Schools.

We are proud of you.
We appreciate you.
And we couldn’t do this without you. 💙🐯
