🌅 Senior Sunrise 2025 🌅

There’s something special about starting your final year in the same place you'll end it. This morning, the Class of 2025 gathered at the field to watch the sunrise on their senior year, a tradition full of hope, excitement, and a few sleepy smiles.

In May, they’ll return to this very spot and not to greet the day, but to celebrate the close of their journey at graduation. Here’s to making every moment in between count!

As a reminder for tomorrow's first day, the No Cell Bell to Bell law will be in effect when the first bell rings.

Earlier this year, the Oklahoma Legislature passed a new law requiring all public schools to become “cell phone-free zones” during school hours. In compliance, the Claremore Public Schools Board of Education has officially adopted a local policy to guide implementation across the district.

Read more about law, policy, and consequences in this article that was emailed to guardians and posted on the website on July 31st - https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/article/2334569
