With COVID-19 increasing its presence in our community, we would like everyone to know about the steps we are taking at our schools to address the situation. Please be assured that our top priority is to maintain a safe environment for our staff and students.
We are increasing our daily disinfecting of frequently-touched surfaces – including doorknobs, handrails, restroom faucets, tables, desks, cafeterias and commonly handled areas. All classes have hand sanitizer available and it is also available in our school hallways and commons areas. We continue to use the classroom air purifiers and have replaced filters in all that have needed replaced.
We are asking you, parents, to please keep any child(ren) not feeling well home for their safety and the safety of others. We will call you to pick up your child if they are displaying symptoms. Our classes are currently working in a blended learning capacity with students at home continuing to work through Google Classroom and Google Meets. This new variant is very contagious, as we learned last week when we had to transition to virtual. We continue to HIGHLY encourage masks and hope that they help us stay in person during this current spike in infections.
Together we can keep our schools healthy and safe. Thank you for your assistance.
Commerce Public Schools will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Masks are highly recommended during this time of high community spread.

TEACHER REQUESTS
For the ’22-’23 school year, we are limiting the amount of teacher requests to 10 per teacher. We will also be asking for a 1st request and a 2nd request, in case the class has reached its limit. The reason to limit the amount of requests is to help balance classes using various data. Forms will be available at AES on Jan. 4th @ 7:30am… doors open earlier.
Parents and Guardians -
This letter and a consent form will be sent home with your child this week. We are extremely pleased to have a licensed nurse available for our students and staff full time. We hope that the free testing available at our schools will allow you to feel more comfort that your children are learning in a safe environment.
