8th grade parents/guardians: Your pies from the fundraiser will be ready for pick up tomorrow Wednesday, November 17th between 3:30 - 6pm in the foyer of the Garroutte Gymnasium.
5th Grade Parents: Today we have had a positive case in the 5th grade and have had to quarantine several more 5th grade students. Because 5th and 6th grade share many electives, we had to quarantine many yesterday. To help stop any further spread or quarantines and hopefully get us through in person next week, the decision has been made to distance learn with 5th grade tomorrow, Friday. This will allow us also to thoroughly disinfect. Teachers will push out assignments through Google Classroom or email them directly. Note: If your 5th grader has been quarantined, please know the original quarantine dates still apply.
There will be no 5th/6th grade tutoring today.
7th/8th grade.....You will be attending the Veteran's Day Parade today. Please dress appropriately for the cooler weather.
JT Family: Out of care and safety for our Veterans we made the difficult decision again this year to forego our Veteran's Assembly. This is an event that is near and dear to our heart as we have the utmost appreciation, love, and respect for all our Veterans and do not take their enormous sacrifice for granted. Different grades have learned about and honored our Veterans in different ways. Our Jr. High expressed our appreciation by attending the Veterans Parade in Claremore today. We cannot wait until we can pack the gym to justly honor our Veteran's again.
Blue and Gold pick up today from 1:30-5:30 in the David Garroutte gym lobby. Freezer space is limited. All orders need to be picked up today. Thank you for making this fundraiser a success!!
6th Grade Parents: Although we have not been hit by COVID issues at the South Campus up until this point, we have had to quarantine a number of 6th grade students this week. Because of this, we are going to go to distance learning for THE 6TH GRADE ONLY on Thursday, November 11th and Friday, November 12th. This will allow for some separation as well as give us a chance to disinfect thoroughly. Teachers will push out assignments through Google Classroom or email them directly. Note: If your 6th grader has been quarantined, please know the original quarantine dates still apply.

JT Family: As the COVID numbers have decreased at the Jr. High, there has been an uptick with our 6th grade. Because of this, we are going to go to distance learning for 6TH GRADE ONLY tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday.

Junior High Parents: Junior high students will be attending the Claremore Veterans Day Parade this Thursday. We will also be eating lunch at Gazebo Park and touring the Claremore History Museum. Permission slips went home today. We are trying to get a count of students that will need a sack lunch from the cafeteria or that will be bringing their lunch. Please complete the attached Google Form by Wednesday morning regarding lunches https://forms.gle/mJp5YRZgniDqx2UC7 Thank you.
Parents of 7th/8th grade girls basketball: Please email Coach Hardin to get the basketball remind app information. This will allow you an opportunity to have live updates and basketball information from Coach Hardin. Thank you in advance.
Jr. High Parents: Up until this point the JH has been held relatively harmless from COVID. However, this week the we have had two confirmed cases and due to the great involvement of the students, it has affected at least 40% of the JH. We hope to have identified and quarantined those who were in close contact, however, due to the nature of JH students, it cannot be guaranteed. Out of precaution, I have decided to move all Jr. High (7th/8th) grade to distance learning Thursday (11/4) and Friday (11/5). This will allow for some separation as well as give us a chance to disinfect thoroughly. Teachers will push out assignments through their Google Classroom. If your child has been quarantined, please know the original quarantine dates still apply.
Grab and Go meals are available to 7th/8th grade students over the next two days. Thursday they will be serving Chicken Patty on a bun and Friday they will be serving Pepperoni Pizza. Lunches will be passed out from 12:35-1pm outside the cafeteria door. Please call the Jr. High office by 8:45am to reserve a lunch on the day you would like to pick-up.
JT Family: Although we have not had near the COVID issues compared to other districts up until this point, we have had to quarantine a number of jr. high students this week. Because of this we are going to go to distance learning for JR. HIGH (7TH/8TH) ONLY tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday.
Parents and Families: If you received the P-EBT CARDS and were not Free or Reduced in the 2020-2021 school year, the state is aware of this issue. They are researching it with DHS and will let us know what they find out.
JT Family: We have some fantastic substitutes but very few of them. If you are interested in being a substitute, please visit with Dana Clifton in the Jr. High Office. Thank you.
Parents and Families: Please work with us during drop off at the north campus in the mornings. Before 8am please leave the left hand lane as you are entering for those coming in to breakfast before 8am. After 8am the lane should be used for those being dropped off in front of the gym for band or first period athletics only. If the person directing traffic allows another car to go first, it is likely they are clearing the bus loop so the buses can get around. We do the best we can during a busy time. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
