There is nothing like homemade cinnamon rolls to give a person that feeling of soothing comfort - a big, warm, gooey, frosting dripping down, center of the cinnamon roll. None of the out-of-a-can or plain powdered sugar on top type but a fresh, warm, dough rolled by hand cinnamon roll to wrap you up and communicate appreciation from the sender to the receiver.
Well, that is just what the Claremore CCTA did for ALL the teachers and staff, district-wide. A small but warm gesture to say, "We see you and all you are doing. We support you. We appreciate you." Our teachers' tummies and hearts were fuller this week. Thank you!

We want all students to learn, and the best way to make that happen is to protect their electronic devices. Here are some reminders on how to protect your device. If you have any issues with your device, contact your school of record immediately to begin the repair claim process.

Morgan and Gentry, Claremont Elementary students, have created a workspace on their kitchen table to complete their distance learning assignments.
Here are some additional tips for successful distance/virtual learning.
Let's start with a productive study environment.
𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 - make a plan and stick to it. Whether you start early in the morning or at noon - start on time and move through the day with purpose. Set a timer to stay focused, give yourself intermittent breaks, but don't stray too long. Remember to finish your assignments for the day. Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do today.
𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 - You want to be comfortable, but not so comfortable that you fall asleep (studying in bed is not always the best option). Choose a desk, table, or bar - creating a designated space, so children know it's school time.
𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 - A study space that is not appropriately lit may make you feel sleepy and put a strain on your eyes. Adjust the lighting to make sure your screen contrast is comfortable to look at while working. Natural light is sufficient, but make sure the temptation to look out of the window doesn't distract you from your studies.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Have all the study materials you need to hand and ONLY the study materials to remove distractions. Keep traditional school supplies in a designated area.
𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 - A tidy and efficient desktop is a useful desktop, whether it's your real desk or on your computer.
𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 - In this day and age, it might seem like an unrealistic request, but detaching from your smartphone while studying (unless you are studying on your phone) will allow you to get down to some serious work.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 - You may be the kind of person who enjoys a little background noise when studying. However, keep it at a low volume and make sure it's something you don't have to turn your attention to and manage often.
𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 - Make sure that the study space you have created is only used for studying, if possible. This space physically represents your dedication and focus on achieving your goals for the day. If it's impossible to have a dedicated space, make sure you can transform an appropriate area to and from your dedicated study space as seamlessly and tidily as possible.
We understand that studying online takes dedication and discipline, but the advantages of getting your study method, space, and routine set up are totally worth it. Follow these tips to make sure you give yourself the best chance to succeed when distance or online learning and make your study space the place where learning happens.
Keep sending in those photos of your child participating in Distance Learning Fridays. Comment on our FB post or email them to jbrace@claremore.k12.ok.us.

The Cherokee Nation will be providing drive-thru vaccine clinics around NE Oklahoma October-December.
Cherokee Nation citizens and their families, including non-Native family members living in the household. Ages 6 months or older can get a flu vaccine for free from the convenience of their vehicles.
For a complete Cherokee Nation flu vaccination schedule, also visit health.cherokee.org/community-flu-clinics.
“The viruses that cause influenza and COVID-19 will both be spreading through our communities this fall and winter and you can potentially become infected with both,” said Roger Montgomery, executive medical director for Cherokee Nation Health Services. “Getting a flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19 infection but it will reduce your chance of getting influenza. Please take advantage of the proven protection that comes from getting a flu shot.”
Today is DISTANCE LEARNING FRIDAY! The student-teacher relationship is at the heart of education. Be sure to keep in close contact with your child's teachers to ensure successful distance learning days.
Take a picture of your child distance learning and send it to jbrace@claremore.k12.ok.us or post it on our CPS FB page. They may be featured on our weekly graphic.
Today we have Presley and Hannah from Catalayah.
