FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

Claremont Families,

It has been a positive start to the school year! Thank you for all of your efforts in assisting with that success!

This past week our staff took a purposeful approach supporting students through their transitions by acknowledging the significant difference between home and school environments.

To help ease this shift, we incorporate brain breaks, movement activities, consistent bathroom breaks, snack time, and really strive to balance out the day. This is crucial for students' well-being, and getting off to the right start is our goal. We respect the importance of consistency, routine!

We again extend our sincere thanks for your efforts in helping students adjust to the school year. These elements are essential for easing the transition from home to school and fostering a positive learning environment. Thank you!

Mr. David Mudd and Ms. Randa Fay

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.
