Thank you to our partners in education for volunteering at our Storybook STEM night!!! And thank you families for attending and supporting your child’s education! #RBCbank #RSU #CPSZEBRAPRIDE




Holiday on the hill has officially begun! Claremont choir students joined RSU with their annual "Holiday on the Hill" lighting ceremony Tuesday evening.
Due to upcoming demolition, dismissal changes must occur. This is exciting news! In order to make the new construction possible, we will undergo necessary rerouting for DISMISSAL ONLY. See the map for details. This will begin Monday, Dec. 9. Maps will be sent home soon.

Order Claremont spirit wear! It makes for a great gift! Your child was provided a flyer that may be completed, or you may order online at https://claremontelementary.itemorder.com . All orders must be completed by the end of the day Thursday, Dec. 5.
Join us for a night of fun as we provide storybooks with STEM. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM education is learning through an integration of each of these components and is a hands on approach that offers students active learning experiences. Our literacy night is focused on bringing the hands-on aspect of STEM together with storybooks we love.
We hope to see you this Thursday, Dec. 5 from 5-7 pm!

Check out our 3rd graders!!!! Here’s a snapshot of their Native American Museum along with artifacts from the five civilized tribes! Great work! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Claremont students, are there any aspiring chefs out there? If so, you can showcase your skills by participating in the upcoming Future Chefs culinary district competition.

The winner of this event will have their recipe entered into a national competition with the chance to win even more great prizes! RECIPES DUE BY DECEMBER 20th.
Today is no different from every day we for teachers. We are thankful for our students and their families, connections with our colleagues, for the leaders that encourage our growth, and the caring support from our own families.

We know that being present is important for your child’s learning progress.
What can you do to help them be at school every day?
• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
• Don’t let your child stay home unless she is truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make her feel comfortable and excited about learning.
• Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent.
• Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
