Claremont Elementary

CPS Teachers, During past weeks, TTCU knows how quickly you and your teachers have adapted to a new way of teaching. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate one of the biggest weeks of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week. We hope that you will watch the 1-minute video below of love and support. - TTCU https://youtu.be/O6MEmXmy4R0 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #TTCU

UPDATE 4.26.20 I 9:30 AM RE: Collection of Personal Belongings & Returning of School Property Families will have an opportunity to collect any student’s belongings from Claremore Public School campuses and facilities.

We are working on plans to make this process seamless and safe, and we will communicate those plans to you as soon as possible.

This Friday, May 1st, is "School Lunch Superhero Day." I'm sure those serving the meals would love to see all their little superheroes in costumes on Friday to encourage and thank them for their dedication. Parents...put on a cape and join in on the fun! Our team has prepared and 45,784 meals since we began the COVID response 5 weeks ago. Last week we served 9,578 meals and Westside teachers suprised their cafeteria staff with some goodies. 🍲 Drive-Thru: Meals to Go are available Monday - Friday from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM at CPS Enrollment Center, Westside Elementary, Cedar Point Church, and Justus Tiawah - North for students 18 and younger.

Claremore Public Schools will join the national #BeTheLight movement tonight at 20:20 military time (or 8:20 PM). Lantow Field, Legendary Legion Field, and the Lady Zebra softball field will turn their light on for 20 minutes. Even in this gesture of hope, we will continue to practice social distancing and reinforce the “safer at home” standards that have been put in place by the state authorities. We will be working to livestream from a drone on our District FaceBook page and will post additional footage and photos later this week on all our platforms. https://www.facebook.com/ClaremorePublicSchools/

UPDATE 4-3-20 RE: Letter from Superintendent Frazier about Continuous Learning Launch April 6th Zebra Family, My hope and prayers are that you are safe & healthy while taking care of your families and friends. Our number one concern is your safety and wellbeing. Parents, we love and miss your children. Closing our buildings and canceling many of our year-end events leaves us broken-hearted. Since these restrictions have gone into place, we have been working on a plan to connect with students and families - to do what we do best - love and teach your children. I am so proud of the work our teachers and administrators have done over these past few weeks. I am proud to be a Zebra. With that said, tonight, we are releasing our Continuous Learning Model for all students beginning Monday, April 6th.
