UPDATE 4-3-20 RE: Letter from Superintendent Frazier about Continuous Learning Launch April 6th Zebra Family, My hope and prayers are that you are safe & healthy while taking care of your families and friends. Our number one concern is your safety and wellbeing. Parents, we love and miss your children. Closing our buildings and canceling many of our year-end events leaves us broken-hearted. Since these restrictions have gone into place, we have been working on a plan to connect with students and families - to do what we do best - love and teach your children. I am so proud of the work our teachers and administrators have done over these past few weeks. I am proud to be a Zebra. With that said, tonight, we are releasing our Continuous Learning Model for all students beginning Monday, April 6th.

COVID-19 UPDATE: 3.27.20 l 3:00 PM RE: Graduation l Updating Contract Information l Child Nutrition l Personal Belongings l Returning of School Equipment/Uniforms https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/o/cps/page/health-services--460

From Mr. Young: At this time we have had 639 of our parents and students who have responded to our technology availability survey. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to fill it out. I also want to thank the teachers for all of their hard work trying to reach out. We still have about 100 parents who have not responded. It is critical that we know who is able to get online for their continuous education, so that we are able to serve those who don’t have access. We will be using the Google Classroom platform to engage students in their learning for the remainder of the year. Prior to April 6, teachers will be adding students to their Google classrooms. Students should be checking their school emails and Remind apps for alerts. Parents and students, if you have not signed up for Remind, please email one of the teachers from your child’s pod to get the code. If your child has forgotten their password to their google account you can email our librarian at deddings@claremore.k12.ok.us to reset their password. You may only be hearing from one teacher from your child’s pod at this time, but that teacher is communicating for your child’s team of teachers. We will continue to reach out to parents regularly to update our progress and we plan to start on April 6. Please continue to check out our Facebook page and the Claremore Public Schools app for more information regarding assignments and amount of time expected on classwork each day. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Parents/students- You should be receiving a survey from your teacher. If you didn't receive one, please use the link to access it: https://forms.gle/qe5GLUdnidWoMW8WA #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

3.15.20 l 5:00 PM Again we are trying not to make long term decisions when information is changing rapidly and/or not available. We will attempt to give our families lead time on any postponements or cancellations, when possible. Based on the current level of community transmission, we are taking measures to be back in school on March 23. The status could change day-to-day. If the community transmission level rises, steps will be taken to become more restrictive. Community transmission levels are determined by the CDC based upon confirmed positive tests. As the testing process becomes more available and widely administered, the numbers will likely increase. The quantity and location of the concentrations of positive results determine transmission levels. These levels will be a factor in making our decisions. Therefore, decisions on events that are weeks or even months away cannot be determined at this time. We are attempting to mitigate this virus and do our part. Please reference the links provided below to the CDC to guide you and your family in your personal decisions. As things change, we will be timely with our communication and will use email, the Claremore Public Schools app, and our website to publish new developments with our plan. Thank you for your support and understanding during this unprecedented time.

3.14.20 l 7:00 PM Claremore Public Schools will be using spring break to deep clean and thoroughly disinfect all of our buildings. Only essential central office administration, construction, and cleaning crews will be allowed on-site during spring break. This time also allows for epidemical evaluation and contact tracing by health agencies. The data provided by the CDC will give us more information to make decisions in the coming days and weeks. Our team will meet at the end of this next week regarding events beginning Monday, March 23.

IT'S SPRING BREAK! Read a book, play a board game, have a family meal - what memory will you make this week? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
