Friday, May 3rd, will be the final day of this school year for which meals may be charged without a positive account balance to support the charged amount.
This is necessary to enable our Cafeteria Managers to assess their list of owed balances, notify households and close out the school year with zero negative balances.
Beginning Monday May 6th students will not be able to purchase meals without payment or an account balance to support the charge. Please put sufficient money on your child’s account or send payment with them for the purchase of meals. Positive balances on the final day rollover to the next school year OR you may request a refund by e-mail or in writing to the School Nutrition Director. Positive balances for graduating seniors or students leaving the district can also be donated to our Angel Fund. The Angel Fund consists of community donated funds and is used to help families needing assistance paying their child’s school meal account.
Norfolk Southern Rail notified the City of Commerce that the railroad crossing (highlighted in yellow) at N Elm and Homer/Jefferson Rd will be closed for repair /repaving from Friday morning at 7am until Saturday morning at 8am. Broad Street and Elm Street will be open (just the crossing will be closed) Please plan for delays with traffic. Thank you for your patience.

We will have two Solar Eclipses this school year!. The first is this Saturday, October 14th - only a partial eclipse here in Georgia in the early afternoon. Any student or adult purchasing a meal this Friday October 13th receives a free approved eclipse-viewing pair of glasses. We will repeat this on Monday April 8th for a much more complete eclipse experience here in Georgia (65-75% coverage of the sun) just after lunch here in Commerce. Again, anyone purchasing a lunch on that Monday will receive a free pair of eclipse-viewing glasses. Those wishing to purchase a pair may do so for $1. Happy and safe viewing from Commerce School Nutrition.
Congratulations to our 2023-2024 Teachers of the Year.
