How Sick Is Too Sick For School?
Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc.
We miss our students when they are absent, and we know attendance matters, but sometimes they need to recover at home. How do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and prevent the spread of illness to other students and staff.

Happy holidays from our Claremont family to yours. We hope your holiday is filled with joy, rest, and special moments with the people you love. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We wish you a safe, happy, and wonderful break!
We are excited to recognize our December Students of the Month! These students have stood out for their hard work, positive attitudes, and commitment to doing their best. We are proud of the example they set for others and the way they represent our Zebra values each day.
We also want to celebrate our December Staff of the Month. Mrs. Smith, our certified staff member, and Mrs. Whitlow, our support staff member, are both so deserving of this recognition. Their dedication, teamwork, and care for students make a meaningful difference at Claremont, and we are thankful for all they do.
Finally, congratulations to Mrs. Ward’s and Mrs. Millsap’s class for earning Library Class of the Month! Their outstanding behavior, responsibility, and love of learning truly stood out in the library.
Way to go, Zebras! December was a busy, yet great month and we are proud of each of you who helped make it so special.
