"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom
Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.

Claremore Public Schools aims to partner with parents and guardians to achieve our District goals for all students: to raise student achievement, close the achievement gap, provide educational equity, and ensure a safe educational environment.
One way we do this is through parent-teacher conferences. Although you can request a conference any time, the district schedules four evening dates each year for conferences.
FALL Parent-Teacher Conferences:
✅High School: Oct. 8 & Nov. 12, 2026
✅WRJH: Oct. 8 & Nov. 12, 2026
✅Elementary: Oct. 8 & 13, 2026
SPRING Parent-Teacher Conferences:
✅High School: Feb. 11 & March 9, 2027
✅WRJH: Feb. 11 & March 9, 2027
✅Elementary: March 4 & 9, 2027
Conferences will be by appointment with your child's teacher(s). You may select your appointment time(s) using myconferencetime.com. LINKS WILL BE LIVE 10 days before the conference dates and communicated by your child's school site.

School Times Changing in 2026-27
Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, all public schools in Oklahoma must adjust daily school schedules. This change is the result of a new law passed during the 2026 legislative session, Senate Bill 1481, which requires all students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade to receive 40 minutes of recess each day. Under the law, part of this recess time does not count toward the state's required instructional minutes, meaning schools must extend the day by 20 minutes to maintain learning time.
After evaluating several options, the district determined that adding 20 minutes to each school day best preserves instructional time, avoids adding days to the calendar, and minimizes disruption to family schedules.
We recognize that even small changes to the school day can affect family routines. By adding 10 minutes at the beginning and end of the day, the district can comply with the new state law while minimizing the impact on students, families, and staff. Thank you for your flexibility and continued support as Claremore Public Schools implements this statewide requirement. The table below shows updated start and end times for each school. If you have questions, contact your child's school office.
These changes will take effect on the first day of school, August 20, 2026, pending approval from the Board of Education during our regularly scheduled meeting on August 10, 2026. We wanted to provide you with as much advance notice as possible.
