Students in Mrs. Newbury's class put their knowledge of DNA structure to work in a fun, hands-on way! 🧬 Using Twizzlers, marshmallows, and toothpicks, they created their own DNA strands while learning how the structure fits together.
Learning has never been so sweet!

SNOW DAY - 1/28/26
While we always strive to keep schools open, safety remains our top priority. Tomorrow, January 28th, will be another snow day as CPS continues to ensure the streets, parking lots, and sidewalks are safe for all our staff and students.
This will be another official “snow day,” so be safe, stay warm, and create memories!
AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
CPS after-school activities are canceled. Check your Rooms for updates from your coaches and advisors.
UPDATES
District leaders will continue to monitor the forecast and evaluate conditions, and decisions will be made on a day-by-day basis.
Updates will be on all CPS platforms (Website, Mobile App, Facebook, Twitter & Email) and local TV stations. Download the app on Android or iPhone. Make sure your contact information is up to date on your parent portal.
Make it “A Great Day To Be A Zebra.”
Our Forensic Science students have been busy cracking the case! 🕵️♀️ This year, they’ve been studying crime scenes and learning the different search patterns forensic investigators use. To put their skills to the test, students were challenged to locate two missing individuals — Waldo and his wife, Waldette — who had gone missing in various locations.
Using their investigative prowess and sharp observation skills, students worked hard to help track down the missing couple. Great hands-on learning in action!

One Word. One Year. Big Impact.
Students in Mrs. Perry's class were challenged to choose a One Word Resolution for the rest of this school year—or all of 2026! This word will be the one that drives their year.
After choosing their word, students defined it, reflected on why it matters to them, and created a plan for how they’ll put it into action throughout the year.

Tonight's JH wrestling dual is cancelled and rescheduled for February 2nd!
Mr. Borntreger's 2nd hour class got to use their brain to solve subtraction problems...no calculators, but teamwork and peer interaction! Working together to problem-solve is a vital workplace skill that our students need to develop, and each student has grown in their ability to trust the math process they learned for solving integer problems, and to trust one another to confirm their work was correct. This class deserves a ton of credit for their tenacity and perseverance!

We are excited to tell you about a new learning tool at our school: Acellus!
Our students are using Acellus, an online instructional program, during the school day as part of classroom learning.
Acellus provides video-based lessons, practice activities, and built-in assessments that allow teachers to support students at their individual learning levels. The program adapts to student progress, helping reinforce skills and provide additional support when needed.
Students access Acellus in the classroom under teacher supervision, and it is used to:
-Reinforce core academic skills
-Support personalized learning
-Provide targeted practice and feedback
-Help students work at an appropriate pace
Teachers monitor student progress and guide instruction while students work within the program. Acellus is one of the tools we are using to strengthen learning and support student growth.

Mrs. Newbury’s “Brain” Wall
Students put their thinking caps on and decided what they want more of in 2026! They reflected on what really matters most to them and chose five words to capture their hopes, goals, and good vibes for the year ahead.
What a great idea!

How Sick Is Too Sick For School?
Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc.
We miss our students when they are absent, but sometimes they need to recover at home. How do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and prevent the spread of illness to other students and staff.

✨ Figurative Language in Full Color! ✨
Ms. Lively’s 7th grade ELA students created Figurative Language Wheels to explore similes, metaphors, idioms, and more. These hands-on projects help students see how authors use words to add meaning, emotion, and creativity to their writing. We love watching learning come to life in color! 🎨📚

It’s Snowing in Tech Ed!
Mrs. Higgins’ class brought a blizzard of creativity to the classroom! Students designed and 3D-printed their very own snowflakes, each one totally unique — just like the real ones, only way cooler.
Great job, Tech Ed crew! ❄️
