ATTENTION current 8th - 11th graders. It's that time of year again! Claremore High School's Zebra Advisement Program (ZAP) is in full swing to begin next year's enrollment process. This program helps our 5A school have a small school environment by pairing a small set of students in a specific grade level to one teacher. Our students remain with the same ZAP advisor for their entire career at CHS. They meet once a month to cover information concerning career exploration, interviewing, college applications, and scholarship information during the fall term. Students will now meet with their parents and ZAP advisor to finalize their schedules. This conference is an excellent time for the parents to ask questions, see their students' transcripts, and be involved in their children's educational process. With a 95% parent attendance rate from year to year, ZAP has become a Claremore High School tradition. This year's ZAP appointments will occur on March 25th from 4p - 8p at CHS. Most parents have scheduled their meeting, but if you have not, there is still time. Parents may email their students' ZAP advisors directly to schedule an appointment. If you do not know who their ZAP Advisor is, contact the counseling department at CHS. Check out the course description book in preparation for your meetings.

👀 College visits may look different these days, but that doesn’t mean students can’t get a feel for college campuses from afar. Many Oklahoma colleges have provided opportunities for students to tour their campus virtually. Whether it’s taking a look around the South Oval at the University of Oklahoma or checking out the dorms at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, virtual tours can give students a feel for life at school without leaving the house. Students can get started touring by visiting the GEAR UP website at https://okgearup.org/college-visits/. 🏫 College Bridge: GEAR UP will reimburse the cost of college orientation/bridge programs for students who graduate from one of our designated school districts and attend any Oklahoma college or university. Students must register at https://okgearup.org/. Registration opens March 1 and closes September 1, 2021. 💲 GEAR UP school specialists are offering Zoom webinars for students and/or their families. Topics include, but aren’t limited to, FAFSA/financial aid, Oklahoma’s Promise, college planning.
