Claremore Public Schools is continually committed to developing an atmosphere of trust among parents and the community in our ability to provide not only a positive and enriching educational experience but a safe place for students to thrive.
That is why we have partnered with @FamilyZoneUSA, a leading provider of cyber safety products and education, to ensure your kids are cyber safe while at school. Claremore Public Schools is already using Family Zone to block inappropriate content and to identify red flag search terms from students. However, students do need access to sites like youtube for institutional purposes. Once on those sites students can be exposed to content that may be questionable. It is important that caregivers monitor students when they are on their devices.
As a parent or caregiver of our school district, you receive free access to the Family Zone Cyber Safety Hub, which includes articles, videos, courses, and more to help monitor and educate on various cyber threats, apps, etc.
This week's #TechTipTuesday is access to this free service. Click “sign up” below to get ongoing materials and education from the platform we trust to manage cyber safety across our entire district.

Meet Mr. Burke in the Roosa Staff Spotlight. "I love helping people, especially children. One of the most important educators in my life has been my pastor, who also happens to be my dad. I love to read. I am a compulsive re-reader. If I find a really amazing book, I have a hard time walking away from it." -- Mr. Burke #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Making turkeys at home, boring... Not on Distance Learning Friday! Look what the students at Roosa Elementary did on their Virtual Friday in Art class! This Distance Learning lesson for Art was based on the book "The Very Stuffed Turkey" by Katharine Kenah and illustrated by Binny Talib. The lesson was to create a one of a kind turkey based on the message in the book that not every member of a family looks the same. The students were asked to create their one of a kind turkey by drawing, painting, sculpting, using collage or any mixed media they had around their house. They were super creative and used supplies found both inside and outside. Turkeys shown were created by Isaac Higgins, Asher Spahr, Lilly Weeks and Adalynn Gilbert-Davis #ARTISFUN #DISTANCELEARNINGFRIDAY #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Meet Bethany Doerksen-Klopp, Ph.D.
Certified School Psychologist
Dr. DK here! I hold a doctorate from OSU in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in School Psychology.
My husband, Dustin, and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 12 years. We have two human hooligans (8 months old and 3 years old) and two fur babies.
This is my 6th year working with the amazing staff and students at Roosa Elementary and Will Rogers Junior High School. Now that I've been here a few years, I love that I've gotten to see my students grow and develop as they graduate to junior high!
If you visit my office, you'll see the quote, "we can't control the winds, but we can adjust our sails," decorating my wall. For a Type A control freak like me, it's a great reminder that the only things we actually have control over in life are our own thoughts, words, and actions. There will always be some things we can control and some things we cannot. Staying focused on what we can control will help relieve stress and anxiety before it gets too overwhelming.

To celebrate National School Psychology Week (last week), throughout the day today, we highlight our school psychologists and the critical work they do to help our students and staff thrive and discover “The Power of Possibility.”
Possibility, chance, likelihood, probability - all things that inspire hope, expectation, desire. With their training, tools, and techniques, these staff members empower and equip our Zebra family to not only aspire to succeed but take action steps to accomplish those dreams.
