Hey Zebras!
Claremore Public Schools is participating in a nationwide research initiative focused on public confidence in K-12 education. As part of the initiative, community members and parents are invited to take a brief, anonymous survey and share their perspectives on public education and our local schools.
The survey takes just 5 to 8 minutes and is open through November 8th.

CPS will be closed for FALL BREAK on October 15 & 16, 2026.
Enjoy the time with your family, make a memory, and we will see you on Monday.
One way we do this is through parent-teacher conferences. Although you can request a conference at any time, the district schedules four evening dates each year for conferences.
October 8th is the first opportunity for conferences across the District.

Your child’s education is a team effort, and you are an important part of that team.
At Claremore Public Schools, we aim to partner with parents and guardians to raise student achievement, close achievement gaps, provide educational equity, and ensure a safe educational environment for every student.
One of the best opportunities to strengthen that partnership is through Parent-Teacher Conferences for PreK-8th grade families.
Conferences aren’t just for when there is a concern. They are an opportunity to:
❤️ Celebrate your child’s growth and successes
📚 Understand what your child is learning and where they may need support
🎯 Discuss academic goals and expectations
💬 Ask questions and share information that can help your child’s teacher better support them
🤝 Make sure home and school are working together toward the same goal: your child’s success
You can request a conference with your child’s teacher at any time throughout the year, but CPS also schedules four evenings specifically for conferences.
📅 Conferences are by appointment with your child’s teacher(s).
🔗 Appointment links are LIVE and will be shared by each teacher through Rooms. Families may also contact their child’s teacher(s) directly or visit:

Whether your child is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, the conversation matters.
We know schedules are busy, but a few minutes together can help build a stronger connection between home and school and keep your child moving forward. ❤️🦓

"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.
Please be advised that Claremore High School will be conducting a test of the cannon that will be used to celebrate touchdowns at home football games this season.
📅 Friday, August 28
⏰ 3:30 p.m.
📍 Claremore High School
During the test, you will hear one loud boom. This is only a scheduled test; there is no cause for concern.
Thank you for your understanding as we get ready for Friday nights at Lantow Field! 🏈🦓

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.
