ENROLLMENT

Kids smiling

Parents/guardians must update and confirm information for all Claremore Public Schools students each year. This process allows the District and school sites to access important information and communicate with CPS families. The information provided by parents/guardians also contains data the District must send to the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

STAFFING AND SCHEDULES ARE MADE BASED ON THESE NUMBERS

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT

AUGUST 6
6:30 to 8:30 PM

The Claremore Police Department, Volunteers for Youth, and the Healthy Community Partnership are hosting the “Back to School Bash at National Night Out” at the Claremore Lake Park Splash Pad.

Local organizations will give away free school supplies and family resource information.

Family-friendly activities will be available, including live music, interactive activities for children, free drinks, free pizza and more.

Back to School TIP #1 - Download the APP. Everything Claremore, 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 new 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, 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 to start a secured account in your email from @edurooms.com or a text message with a direct link. Use the email you have in your parent portal or your cell number to create your account. Need more help?
