Our district teacher of the year is so important to us!
Superintendent Bryan Frazier and other administrators decided to drop in on a staff ZOOM meeting to surprise her. Little did she know they were actually in her front yard - with a “little” sign and a “big” announcement.
Congratulations to...

We have ALL learned, expanded our skills, stretched our imagination, explored new platforms, shared our challenges and our successes. Westside Elementary School-Claremore Public Schools teachers want to remind us we are all in this together as the instructional portion of our continuous learning concludes. However, continuous learning is a mindset, so continue to use the new skills you've learned to keep learning this summer.

This week we celebrated National Nurses Day, but we know there are more healthcare workers out there making a difference during this pandemic.
Do you know of any CPS alumni working in the healthcare field during the pandemic? We want to recognize them! 😷 Tag them 😷 Post a photo 😷 Comment what they are doing and where 😷 If you know it, the year they graduated
Let’s show them our #CPSZEBRAPRIDE on the CPS Facebook page.
If you picked up a STEM in a Bag today during the Meals 2 Go: Drive Thru, Mrs. Rahn has some instructions for you.

🪁 The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is providing another STEM in a Bag this Friday. The kite kits will be available during the Meal 2 Go: Drive Thru while supplies last on Friday, May 8th at Westside, Cedar Point, and the CPS Enrollment Center.
🪁 A perfect way to engage our students in STEM and physical activity while experiencing first-hand forces and interactions, which is a huge science standard in many grades. Building a kite also hits a few math standards, including exploring and developing visual representations of
growing geometric patterns.
🪁 Building kites also allows students to explore the engineering principles of building, testing, revising, and testing again!
Not to mention the family memories they will make. 🪁🪁🪁
At the end of the 19th century, "The Lady With the Lamp"— or as she is more widely known, Florence Nightingale — founded modern nursing. Thanks to her strict use of hand-washing and hygiene practices while caring for wounded soldiers in the Crimean War, Nightingale and her helpers reduced the death rate from 42% to 2% — ushering in nursing as we know it today. On May 6, we recognize the vital role nurses play in our lives by celebrating National Nurses Day.
There is more than maintaining medical records and making sure immunizations are up-to-date. Thank you to our nurses who give hugs that cure the body and soul.
Let's give these ladies a virtual hug today!

CPS Teachers,
During past weeks, TTCU knows how quickly you and your teachers have adapted to a new way of teaching. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate one of the biggest weeks of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week. We hope that you will watch the 1-minute video below of love and support. - TTCU

RE: Collection of Personal Belongings & Returning of School Property
Families will have an opportunity to collect any student’s belongings from Claremore Public School campuses and facilities. Our goal timeframe is mid-May. Please begin to locate and collect any school property such as library books, textbooks, uniforms, etc. in preparation for these procedures. We are working on plans to make this process seamless and safe, and we will communicate those plans to you as soon as possible.
