Please join us in celebrating Red Ribbon week, October 28th-November 1st. The Red Ribbon Campaign educates youth and celebrates a drug-free life.
Car Rider Parents: good morning! We are 12 weeks into the year and I am asking for your assistance. To ensure our pickup/drop-off is efficient and safe as possible I want to remind you of our procedures. For morning drop-off: students need to be ready to exit the car from the passenger side (if possible) when you get to the awning. Also. The exterior doors close at 7:58 am sharp. Students need to be in the building, if a car rider, prior to this time. In the afternoon, please make sure you have your hang tags displayed. If you have any questions, reach out to Dr. Powell directly. Thank you for your assistance!
Care for Carolina is coming November 4th - 8th! CMS will be collecting items to help those affected by Hurricane Helene in the Asheville, North Carolina area.
We will be collecting socks, gloves, hats, coats, diapers, and pull-ups. Donations can be given to your child's homeroom teacher. The homeroom from each grade level that collects the most items will receive doughnuts!
Ready to spell your way to victory? Sign up for the spelling bee and let your talents take center stage!
To sign up please visit your ELA teacher's Google Classroom.
The deadline to sign up is November 1st.
Please take 30 seconds to link your Ingles Advantage card to CMS. Our teachers & students would greatly appreciate it! We earn incentive dollars that can be used to purchase supplies like classroom pencil sharpeners, pencils, clocks, batteries, etc.

Parents,
The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, also known as GEMA, requires all schools in the State of Georgia to hold Active Shooter Lockdown Drills by October 1st yearly. Commerce Middle School will conduct our Level 3 Lockdown Drill tomorrow, 9/24, at 9:50 am to meet this requirement. In light of events at Apalachee High School in the past month, I understand that this is not an ideal time to conduct the drill. However, we must ensure that our students and teachers understand the procedures in the event of a level 3 lockdown to ensure the safety of all. We also must remain compliant with GEMA and State of Georgia law. School administration, along with the Commerce Police Department, will be conducting the drill with the intent to improve our safety practices while minimizing anxiety about the drill. I understand that not all students are ready to participate in a drill. I do not want to create fear or anxiety in our students. If you feel your child will be affected adversely, we will excuse absences during the time of the drill. I expect the drill to take no longer than 30 minutes. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Phillip Powell
Principal
Commerce Middle School
Autism Training for Parents and Caregivers
