Commerce Middle School

https://forms.gle/jjfbbp9dtewrxoUS7 Virtual school enrollment is winding down. If you haven't already enrolled and would like to enroll in Commerce Virtual School, please do so by August 3rd, 2020. We need accurate numbers to assist in our planning. If you're a Commerce resident and have transferred to another online virtual school in the past, please consider returning to Commerce Schools now that we have this option available. These are just a few of the benefits we offer over the statewide virtual schools - 1. Local teachers that are available to assist you. 2. Ability to participate in Commerce athletics, band and other extracurricular activities. 3. Tax dollars staying at home and not being shipped to for profit companies. We have already welcomed back several former Epic students, join them and reap the benefits of local education.

The Oklahoma State Dept. of Ed. has made strong recommendations to schools concerning county COVID-19 levels. Commerce Public Schools will be following these recommendations, as put out by OSDE.  You can find protocols here - https://sde.ok.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/Oklahoma%20Schools%20Safety%20Protocols%20Draft.pdf Ottawa county is currently at "Orange Level 1" as far as the alert system is concerned.  This is calculated weekly on each Friday. You can find the weekly levels here - https://coronavirus.health.ok.gov/covid-19-alert-system These numbers will be used weekly to determine what level Commerce will be using in our Return To Learn plan. Levels and CPS response will be communicated to parents through our website, Facebook, Twitter, all call and text.
