Weekly Schedule

Softball Update 🥎
MS Games @ Jay have been cancelled due to wet field conditions.
HS game vs Lincoln Christian start time has been moved from 4:30 to 5:00! Lincoln Christian has cancelled the JV game for this evening.

4th–12th Grade Parents, we need your help.
We’ve completed just 12 days of school and have already had 40 Chromebook insurance claims.
As a reminder, the first break is covered by the $25 insurance fee, but any additional claims require payment. At an average of 3.33 Chromebook breaks per day, this is not sustainable.
Please help us by stressing the importance of proper Chromebook care with your student. A little extra attention at home goes a long way in keeping devices working and costs down for families and the district.
Thank you for your support!

Another week on the fields

Hello AES parents,
We are finishing our first full week. It is great to see all your kiddos. A couple things to remember. Free breakfast and lunch for all students. Breakfast does stop at 7:50. Students need to be in class by 8:05. Arriving after 8:05 will result in a tardy. Our policy is after the 3rd tardy the student receives a detention. The gym doors close at 8:05. So let’s get their day started off right with a free breakfast and on time arrivals. Thank you parents for entrusting us with your children. We cherish all of them.

🍽️ Free Meals for All Students This Year
We know a few parents are still receiving texts or emails from our new student information system saying they have a “low lunch balance.” The issue is on the software side with TeacherEase, and their programmers are aware of the problem and working on a fix.
✅ The important part: Every student at Commerce Public Schools receives one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day.
We encourage all parents to make sure their students take advantage of this opportunity. A healthy breakfast and lunch, at zero cost to families, gives our kids the fuel they need to learn and succeed.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and apologize for the confusion these notices may have caused, and we appreciate your patience while TeacherEase corrects the issue.
Let’s make sure every child starts the day with a full stomach and a clear mind — it’s free, it’s healthy, and it’s good for our kids! 💙🐯

Something new at CMS for the 2025–26 school year. This year, every member of our staff and student body signed a tiger paw that is being displayed in the trophy case at the front of the building. We want every person to know this is the place they belong. It's a great day and a great year to be a Tiger. #Sweepstakes #FN5GL @commerce_public_schools @TMobil

Football Reminder: Middle School & High School Football Parents Meeting is TONIGHT in the CHS Gym at 6:00pm. Hope everyone can make it out.
First day of school ✔️ and our bell-to-bell, no-cell rule was in full effect. At lunch, instead of the usual ‘downward phone stare,’ we saw… actual conversations! Smiles! Laughter! Eye contact! 📣 Change isn’t always easy, but today it was worth it—less distraction in class and more connection with each other. Great job, Tigers—let’s keep it rolling!
