We have received several feedback forms and are grateful for the interest and engagement of our community.
In today's Fridays With Frazier, Mr. Frazier addresses questions about the 4:1 calendar for those choosing the traditional option. We continue to work diligently to address all the other items submitted and post the FAQs next week on our website.
Remember, you can access the entire 40-page Return to Learn presentation, made to the Board of Education, on our website, which will answer several of the questions you may have.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we have worked hard to develop a plan that focuses on the health and safety of our students and staff, and on delivering a high standard of learning for all students.
CPS re-entry plan "RETURN TO LEARN" will be available on our website and mobile app, THIS FRIDAY, July 17th. The plan is an outline of education options, new procedures, and enhanced safety protocols designed to meet the unique needs of our students, their families, and our teachers and staff. We will also provide a forum for feedback from our parents and stakeholders at that time.

Thank you for your patience as our team continues to plan for the upcoming school year. Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff continue to remain our top priority.
We know you have questions such as:
⬤ How will we safely and effectively return to in-classroom learning?
⬤ When will the school year start? How will the district mitigate risk?
⬤ What options do you have if you do not feel safe coming back to school in-person?
Please know we are thoroughly working through these questions and many others.
Our first "Fridays With Frazier" for the summer addresses some of those questions.

Happy Father's Day to all our "DADS." Our birth dads, adoptive dads, step-dads, and bonus dads. To our work dads, cheer/dance dads, coach dads, sports dads, PTO dads, homeroom dads, teacher dads, and of course, school dads.
Happy Father's to whoever makes up your village, all of them play an essential role in nurturing, raising, and supporting the children in our community. We appreciate your commitment to the welfare and personal growth of your children - our students.

Last week CPS distributed 1200 boxes of food in cooperation with RCB and Go Fresh. Obviously, this could not have been accomplished without the volunteers. Thank you to the 40 RCB & CPS employees that showed up to meet our families with a smile (even if you could not see it under the masks), who waved, packed the boxes into cars, and served our community.
Thank you to the organizers from RCB, @Sara Moss, and @Tim Mason. We appreciate @Midtown Rental for donating the equipment and manpower to do the “heavy lifting.” As the event unfolded and adjustments were made, @Dale Preston dropped everything he was doing, showed up 2 hours earlier than expected, stayed until CPS maintenance was able to take over, and allowed us to continue to use his equipment the entire evening.
It takes a village and we are blessed to have the heart of servanthood that unites Claremore. Mercy Chefs and Volunteers For Youth are currently managing local distribution sites. This week you can pick up boxes at the Expo Center on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30-4 PM. THIS IS OPEN TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY. If you would like to volunteer, contact Amber Brassfield at amberb@volunteersforyouth.com or 918.200.2938.
