Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to you today to inform you of a concerning issue that we see on social media. We are beginning to see disturbing trends that are perpetuated by social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Most recently, there is a social media challenge nationwide encouraging students to vandalize their school bathrooms and/or steal items from their classrooms. Students film themselves engaging in these acts and post them to the various sites. Because of this viral trend, we have had incidents of theft and vandalism happening throughout the district. We do not know whether or not these incidents are the result of the social media videos encouraging such behavior, but we find it problematic that we have seen this type of activity while it is being perpetuated online. We encourage you to talk with your students about their use of social media, and appropriate behaviors while at school.
Our buildings are meant to be a safe, clean space for our students and staff and the destruction and theft of school property will not be tolerated. There will be consequences for students who choose to engage in this behavior and can include restitution and the involvement of law enforcement.
We appreciate your support and encourage you to discuss your child’s social media accounts and the adverse effects of peer pressure that are often promoted by these platforms.
Congratulations to Mrs. Terra Morgan Alexander Elementary’s Employee of the Month. Mrs. Morgan is one of Alexander’s special education teachers. We are all thrilled to give her this honor for all her hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to Alexander Elementary’s September Students of the Month. Kolt Epperson is in Mrs. Boyd’s Pre-K class. His parents are Clint and Kelsey Epperson. Next to Kolt is Valeria Pascual. She is in Mrs. Cass’ third grade class. Her parents are Maria Gonzalez and Kevin Pelico. Keep up the good work!

Commerce Families,
After numerous phone calls, I feel it is important to clarify the current mask situation at our schools. We do not currently have a mask mandate. Students and staff are encouraged to wear a mask, but they are not required at this time.
Thank You,
Stephen Moss
Superintendent
