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.
