With a few tears and lots of smiles, the 2009-10 school year began for the Commerce City School System Monday.

First-day enrollment amounted to 1,405 students. Officials expect that number to climb over the next two weeks, but it is down by more than 100 from when school ended last May.

“That’s a good bit lower than what we’d anticipated,” conceded Superintendent of schools James E. “Mac” McCoy. “That surprised me a little bit. We were anticipating a little more than that.”

Nonetheless, McCoy said the first day of school was, “all in all, a very successful day.”

“It’s been as smooth as I think anybody could ask for,” he added.

Commerce Primary School had 349 students, the elementary school 217, 424 arrived at the middle school and the high school had 395.
