As part of our status as a Charter District with the State of Georgia, Commerce Middle School is required to hold School Governance Team meetings multiple times a year. This Governance Team consists of community stakeholders, parents, teachers, and the principal. This oversight committee ensures that Charter Funds are spent on student achievement. We held our 5th meeting of the year this morning. You can find the agenda and minutes at the link below.

Parents: with spring approaching I plan to address our students this morning with a reminder about our dress code. I am noticing a lot of questionable clothing and need your help in policing our kids. For our males: please have them wear a belt that keeps their pants at waist level. For our females: please make sure their shorts are not revealing and an appropriate length. Tops need to be covering all pertinent areas fully. Thank you for your assistance!
