Claremont Elementary

Here are a few highlights from kindergarten from their first week back at school! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Pre-K is a fun and exciting place! You are learning school procedures for the first time, using creative play to discover new things, and making friends! The teachers and paras who work with these students love their jobs and enjoy watching their kids grow, but it can definitely be exhausting! As we wrap up the first four days of school, we want to give a special thank you to our teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents for helping make this week special. We are excited for the year ahead! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Thank you to Claremore First Methodist and She Brews for providing delicious coffee and muffins this week for our staff! We appreciate your support! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Day two is off to a great start! Students are going over procedures with their new teachers. It's a great day to be a Zebra! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ClaremontStrong

Happy first day of school to our students, staff and families! We are so excited to be back in school, and we are honored to partner with our families to provide a safe environment for learning.
