CMS, with the help of the Commerce Police Department, ran the drug dogs through some classrooms this morning. This was a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all of our students. We went under a level 2 lockdown. We are proud to say we had zero hits and the dogs cleared all rooms. We wanted you all to know the safety of your child is our first priority and this is a step we take from time to time to ensure that safety. Thank you for your understanding!

Good afternoon. Our schools will be conducting lockdown drills this week. Please do not be alarmed if you hear that one of our schools has gone into a Level III lockdown. There will be additional law enforcement officers and vehicles at the schools this week for the drills. Please talk with your students about the drill so they understand that the drill is another way to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thanks for your help.
