On our first day of school, the RSU Hillcat athletes came and cheered our students to success as they walked into the building from the busses and car line. 🚌 🚗

Westside wants to say thank you to these RSU students for putting smiles on our Westies faces on the first day of school. 🏫

The first few days of school have come to an end! 🦓

Students in grades Pre-K through 5th have been busy learning classroom procedures, getting to know their teachers and classmates, and settling into their routines. It's been a great start to the year, full of energy, curiosity, and excitement for what's to come!

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 - https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/article/2334569

Kindergartners did a "ABC countdown to summer" and the letter U was "under-the-desk" day. Students learned about Michael Angelo and how he painted a ceiling by laying down, and then they got to make their own masterpieces the same way! 🖼️ 🎨
