In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 1st
"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.

As a reminder for tomorrow's first day, the No Cell Bell to Bell law will be in effect when the first bell rings.
Earlier this year, the Oklahoma Legislature passed a new law requiring all public schools to become “cell phone-free zones” during school hours. In compliance, the Claremore Public Schools Board of Education has officially adopted a local policy to guide implementation across the district.
Read more about law, policy, and consequences in this article that was emailed to guardians and posted on the website on July 31st -

🏫 Two weeks from today, we will welcome all our students back into our halls! Although we are enjoying the opportunity to recharge, we have not stopped planning. In the spirit of planning, we have created a BACK-TO-SCHOOL page on our website where you can find "all the things" in one place.
We still need to work out a few details, but we will update the webpage weekly as those decisions are made.
