The City of Commerce is currently without power. Liberty utilities has told us they expect the power to be back on within the hour. With that in mind the current plan is to have school as usual today.


In an effort to reward students who demonstrate hard work in the classroom and dedication to attendance, Commerce Middle School and Commerce High School have begun an incentive program based on attendance and grades. Each month we will reward students who have no grades below a B in all of their classes and no more than 1 absence with a “virtual” school day on the first Wednesday of the month. Letters are being sent home with CMS students and an email is being sent to all CHS students and parents that qualify. Tomorrow is our first Way To Go Wednesday!
Congratulations to all of the students that qualified. If you have any questions, please feel free to call your school office.


CMS and CHS students - Are you ready for homecoming week?
Tuesday 9/5: Super Hero Day
Wednesday 9/6: Pajama Day
Thursday 9/7: Class Colors Day
Friday 9/8: Blue & White Day

We had a great first day of school today! You think your first day is hectic? Try offering up 900 meals twice per day. A special thanks to our child nutrition staff! They absolutely rocked today!




A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the Ottawa County Road Crew and the City of Commerce Staff that made the road in front of Alexander Elementary workable for our first day of school tomorrow.
Parents and buses may drop their students off as normal tomorrow. Please just stay outside of the cones with vehicles.
Teachers and Staff will be parked behind the school to allow parents as much parking as possible.



Reminder...AES Open House is this afternoon from 5-6pm. Parking is available across the street in the gravel lot, on the west side, and any side streets. There will be no parking in front of the school due to construction this week. Thank you.


August 25 Tailgate Planned


Alexander Elementary School is currently without water and sewer services. We are going to have to move the AES open house from tonight to Wednesday night. The new time for AES open house will be Wednesday, August 16th from 5-6pm.

Schedule of Events


Ottawa County crews are working on our bus/parking area in front of Alexander Elementary School. The hope is they are finished before our first day of school. If there are complications we will pivot and send instructions for drop off prior to the first day. Commerce Schools is extremely thankful to our county commissioners and county road crew for doing this project for our school.
