SNOW DAY - 1/28/26
While we always strive to keep schools open, safety remains our top priority. Tomorrow, January 28th, will be another snow day as CPS continues to ensure the streets, parking lots, and sidewalks are safe for all our staff and students.
This will be another official “snow day,” so be safe, stay warm, and create memories!
AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
CPS after-school activities are canceled. Check your Rooms for updates from your coaches and advisors.
UPDATES
District leaders will continue to monitor the forecast and evaluate conditions, and decisions will be made on a day-by-day basis.
Updates will be on all CPS platforms (Website, Mobile App, Facebook, Twitter & Email) and local TV stations. Download the app on Android or iPhone. Make sure your contact information is up to date on your parent portal.
Make it “A Great Day To Be A Zebra.”
Day by day, we’re watching it come together… and the excitement is REAL!

We can’t wait to see it filled with laughter, teamwork, and nonstop play!

Ms. Browning, our librarian, shared an Iroquois fable with students that sparked thoughtful conversations about patience, the changing seasons, and listening to friends.
In the story, students helped Rabbit by designing and building machines to make it snow, hoping he wouldn’t have to do his snow dance.
Through this creative activity, students discovered that shortcuts don’t always work and that some things—like the seasons—arrive in their own time. With snow falling around us, the lesson felt extra meaningful.
We love seeing students learn big ideas through stories, creativity, and hands-on learning!

Mrs. Harrison’s class led a meaningful and heartwarming Rise & Shine as they shared about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and invited students to voice their dreams—both big and small.
They wrapped it all up with a collaborative poster that beautifully tied their learning and hopes together. What an informative and wholesome way to start the day!
Go Mrs. Harrison’s class!

Today we kick off our STEM Spotlight Wednesday !
Our 4th graders have loved their time in the STEM Lab with Ms. Cardwell! Students had fun diving into hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, teamwork, and problem-solving while building skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.
STEM learning helps students think critically, ask great questions, and learn that it’s okay to try, adjust, and try again. We’re so proud of the creativity and enthusiasm our students bring to STEM!

We’ve just started our unit on less than, greater than, and equal to, and learning was chomp-tastic! Students created alligator helpers and practiced letting them eat the bigger number. This hands-on lesson made comparing numbers fun, memorable, and easy to understand.
These little math gators really snapped learning into place and we had to share the fun with you!

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, 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.

The Ms. Cardwell's STEM Lab has been buzzing with excitement as Mrs. Millsap’s class plans and designs their robots. Students are carefully mapping out each step and preparing for the next big moment—bringing their robots to life.
As part of the challenge, students are solving math problems while programming their robots to navigate a neighborhood map in a race against the clock. The goal? Collect as much “candy” from each house as possible in under 30 seconds. This hands-on activity is stretching their thinking, sharpening problem-solving skills, and encouraging teamwork and creativity.
Soon, they’ll be ready to take their robots out, give clear instructions, and proudly tell them to GO. Stay tuned for photos of the robots in action coming soon!

These photos were just too sweet to fit into one post, so they deserved an extra share.
Fifth grade had such a fun and engaging learning experience and we couldn’t resist highlighting a few more moments!

Fifth grade had a deliciously fun time practicing sequential writing. Writing was taken to the next level as students used graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to carefully plan and write how to make a S’more step by step. This hands-on activity kept students engaged, encouraged creativity, and turned learning into a sweet and memorable experience.
Way to go, fifth grade—you really marsh-made learning fun!

During an extended power outage last week, our students showed incredible patience, flexibility, and responsibility as they continued learning and ate lunch without missing a beat. Their calm attitudes and perseverance made us so proud.
Our staff also stepped up in amazing ways. The cafeteria team prepared food early to support our kindergarten students, lunch was moved to take advantage of natural light, and each group enjoyed a fun “5-Star Dining Experience” with instrumental music. Even after power was restored, every group received the same special experience. This day was a great example of teamwork, adaptability, and putting students first.
Way to go Claremont staff!

Our students had an absolute blast tackling the obstacle course —climbing, crawling, racing, and cheering each other on every step of the way. The laughter, teamwork, and determination were the best part to watch.
Huge shout-out to our amazing teachers who make days like this happen. Your energy, encouragement, and creativity turn simple activities into unforgettable memories for our kids.
We are so lucky to have you!
A few weeks ago, Nurse Kyla and Mrs. Carvalho worked side by side to help educate our students in another meaningful way.
We are so thankful to The Brace Place for going above and beyond with an amazing tooth talk for our kindergarten through second graders. They made learning about dental health fun and engaging, and every student went home with a toothbrush, a timer, and an information card.
Thank you for supporting our students and helping build healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
