"Once a student, ALWAYS a student."
Our teachers love it when former students come by to say hello! One of our 5th grade students just had to some see her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Bradfield, on her first day back to school!

Congratulations to the CPS District Teacher of the Year Finalists...

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you'll ever know.” — A.A. Milne
It's no secret that we believe that Claremont's teachers are the best out there. Our educators work so hard to meet the needs of every student who walks into their classroom. Our teachers - they have grit. They go above and beyond every single day to be a light, a landing place, a source of comfort and yes, a teacher to their students.
Claremont teachers, know that you are appreciated. You are cared for and we believe that you are the best of the best! Also know that you are braver, you are stronger, you are smarter and you are loved. By your admin, by your fellow staff members, by your students and by your community.
This week was such a great week! We are so glad to be back in the classroom with our students and can't wait to see them again Monday! Have a great weekend, Zebra family!

FREE school meals have been extended through the end of the school year!
My name is Angela Bartley and I teach 5th grade.
I have been in education for 3 years, and at CPS for two. I attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University where I received a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education.
I have two children, Colter and Hartley Jo. Outside of school we love to do rodeo!
I love Claremont because of staff that is like family.
Today is National Technology Day! In a world where we expect instantaneous access to information and entertainment, technology is crucial. We are thankful to be able to put devices into the hands of every single one of our students and therefore open them up to a world of possibilities with their learning.
Our PreK students love to play with playdough! Not only is playdough fun and entertaining, it helps develop small motor skills in our youngest Zebras!

A picture is worth a thousand words. We hear it all the time. It can be especially helpful when communicating in our digital world to show a picture of something rather than typing it out. Or, maybe there is a certain point to be made by saving a portion of what is on the computer screen. Using the Windows Snip & Sketch application will help accomplish that.
This #TechTipTuesday will demonstrate the many ways Microsoft’s Snip & Sketch can be used to capture images of what is on a computer screen and shared, posted, or saved for later reference.

My name is Amy Cochrane. I teach 3rd grade. I have been in education for 15 years - all 15 years with CPS. I attended East Central University where I received a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and Masters degree in Administration.
I have been married to my husband Kevin for 28 years. We have two children: Garrett, who is married to Payten and Hannah. We have three grandchildren; Ava, Keli and Brooklyn.
Some of my favorite things to do is to spend time with family, travel, read and shop with friends.
I love the team atmosphere at Claremont. I work with some amazing people that have welcomed me with open arms.
5th Grade students working together on the next broadcast of Claremont Student News!
Good evening Claremont families. Please listen to the NEW Distance Learning Guidelines. Towards the end of the 2nd quarter we had students distance learning on a voluntary basis. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter this will not be allowed. If you are NOT comfortable with traditional in person school, then you need to enroll in our virtual program. Please call the office by January 13 to change to our virtual option. We are very excited to begin the new semester and appreciate your support.
Today was such a great first day back to school! Teachers were excited to see their students, and students were excited to be back in the building as well! We can't wait to see what is in store for this second half of our school year!
First grade students perform a reader's theater titled, Mystery On The Ridge, for their friends. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
We love WIN Time! WIN Time is so important to our teachers and students because it gives targeted instruction to students where they need it most. Because every staff member in our building has a WIN Group, our group sizes are able to stay small and students receive more one-on-one instruction.

We will continue to implement our COVID protocols: wear a mask, watch our social distancing, and frequently wash hands . Please come prepared with the mask that was provided at the beginning of the year or a personal one.
As we continue to mitigate the COVID-19 virus, we ask you, please stay home and contact your principal immediately if you have any of the following within the last week:
1. have been in direct contact with a COVID case,
2. had a positive test within the 10 days
3. are waiting on the results of a COVID test, or
4. are showing any symptoms.
We look forward to the lightbulb moments, personal growth, and all our Zebras filling up the halls with the laughter, chatter, and smiles they bring with them.
