Public Safety Announcement- Please be aware that it is against the law (GA Code 40-6-163) to ignore a school bus stop sign. Law enforcement will issue a citation resulting in significant points on your license. Please do your part to keep our students safe.

Parents, as many of you know, our school system uses the Marzano Framework to align our instructional practices and work diligently each day to ensure a positive learning experience for our students. We are currently exploring the possibility of applying for Level 1 High Reliability School Status: Safe and Collaborative Culture.
Please take a few minutes and respond to questions regarding the safe and collaborative culture of our schools. We value your input and appreciate all you do to support Commerce City Schools!
