Thank you for being the first and last face our students see in a school day. Thank you for putting their safety first. Thank you for everything you do for our students. CPS treated our bus drivers with breakfast today in honor of NATIONAL BUS DRIVER APPRECIATION WEEK.

Claremore High School's mission is to ensure high levels of learning in ALL areas and prepare ALL students with skills for success. It is our vision to encourage, empower, and educate ALL students to become lifelong learners and productive members of society. This week CHS science and social studies departments were provided a workday to meet together as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) and work on strategies to achieve our mission and vision. Teachers spent time planning pathways for the future, examining alignment to the ACT, discussing vertical alignment within their curriculum, and collaborating on how to use common formative assessment data to improve student learning. PLCs enable teachers to continually learn from one another via shared visioning and planning, as well as an in-depth critical examination of what does and doesn't work to enhance student achievement. This exercise was an opportunity to be intentional in bringing the content from the weekly meetings into a strategic department plan. The mathematics and English departments worked through the same process earlier this fall.

he Golden Norsemen and the Bulldogs will gain a Zebra on the field this fall. In conjunction with #nationalsigningday, two Claremore Zebras signed their official letter of intent to play football.
