Claremore High School

Teachers are role models for students, appearing in many areas of life, such as coaches, trainers, mentors, tutors, counselors, and administrators. Teachers instruct in core academics, life skills, character, problem-solving, while others enhance fitness levels, music skills, or business skills. Currently, they may even be video editors, actors, directors, and tech advisors. Teacher Appreciation Week 2020 provides an invaluable chance to reflect on the essential role of a teacher in a child’s life. Students may not be sitting in our brick & mortar classrooms, they may not be running on our fields or courts or walking our halls, but that has not stopped them from reaching out to say a genuine thank you to our teachers.

We won’t have Sonic drinks, chocolate-covered strawberries, the ice cream truck, or the administrators grilling burgers this year. BUT, we can still celebrate all the hard work our CHS teachers put in before all this chaos started, their current work as a virtual teacher, and the work still left to be done when life goes back to “normal.” Teacher Appreciation Week 2020 will go down in the history books as the weirdest school holiday. But fortunately, we know how to make the best out of any situation. 🙂 Our students have so much to appreciate about our teachers and we wanted to share them with you. We’ll be sharing a new video each day about some of our teachers here at CHS. Monday https://youtu.be/7p4KDl2yyLU

The personal item retrieval and school property return scheduled for ATHLETICS tonight is moving to Wednesday, due to the severe weather forecast.

Parents and Students, We have now completed four weeks of distance learning. Students remember that you are still in school. You may not be in the building with your teachers, but they are instructing you from their home to yours. We have two more weeks of instruction and then four days of making sure you complete all of your assignments. 𝒯𝑜 𝓈𝑒𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓉𝑒 𝓂𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒶𝑔𝑒 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝑒𝓂𝒶𝒾𝓁...

CPS Teachers, During past weeks, TTCU knows how quickly you and your teachers have adapted to a new way of teaching.

In addition to the traditional commencement ceremony with its cap and gown and congratulatory handshakes, valedictorian speech (or speeches) and recognition of outstanding achievements, most communities also have baccalaureate ceremonies. Formally defined as a religious service to honor the graduating class, a more reflective event that focuses on students' personal growth and achievement. The Claremore Ministerial Alliance has hosted this event. This year is no different, the Baccalaureate service will be this Sunday, May 3rd at 3 PM, but like most public events this year, it will be virtual. The community is invited to watch it on the Facebook pages or websites of several local churches in our area. Tune in to watch some of your classmates speak, sing, and also recognize Mrs. Andrews, the senior's choice for their Teacher of the Year. 🞧 Cedar Point Church 🞧 Claremore Assembly of God 🞧 Claremore First 🞧 Claremore Nazarene 🞧 DestinyLife Church 🞧 First United Methodist If there are other churches not listed, please add them to the comments.

"The Year 2020 will be one we will all remember for years to come. Senior year is an important year in a student's life. This year is filled with memories and traditions you will cherish. This last month has been difficult for you as many cherished events have been either cancelled or delayed. One thing that hasn’t changed is our devotion to you, Class of 2020. Our desire for you to have as many of the treasured memories and traditions that you can. One cherished memory is graduation. The graduation ceremony is very important and one of the best nights of high school life. The tradition of walking across the stage at Lantow Field or even the new gym when it rains is a memory you should have. Our commitment is to have a Virtual Graduation Ceremony and for this ceremony to contain as many of the traditions as possible. I want to assure you, we are also committed to having an actual graduation ceremony if and when the government restrictions are lifted. Presently, we will focus on what we can do. For this reason, we will start filming for the virtual ceremony next week." Please check your school email to get all the details Mrs. Garroutte sent out earlier this week. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
