Back to School TIP #1 - Download the APP Everything Claremore Zebra, on your phone.

Q - What school supply does every parent need?
A - The CPS Mobile APP

Our app keeps students, parents, and community members informed about campus happenings right from their phones. Families rely on smartphones for communication, and our app provides:

  • Cafeteria menus

  • Live Feed / News

  • Staff contact information

  • Event details

  • ROOMS for Parent-Teacher-Student Chat

With the passing of House Bill 3958, school personnel must include a parent or guardian in any electronic communication with a student unless it's on a school-approved platform related to academics. Approved platforms include ROOMS, Google Workspace (Classroom, Docs, Sheet), Infinite Campus, StopIt, Edgenuity, and Acellus.

BOE Policy Reference: 74 O.S. § 840-8.1, 70 O.S. § 6-401.

You can download the app for free on Android or on iPhone.

If you have not created an account or are new to CPS, look for an invite in your email from @edurooms.com or a text message with a direct link to start a secured account.
