Claremont kicked off state testing today! Several grades cheered our 3rd- graders on as they left the gym to get ready for testing. It was a fun way to start our morning and it was wonderful to see our students cheering each other to success! With testing happening over the next few weeks, please make sure your child is getting a good nights sleep and that they are eating a healthy breakfast. Education is our ticket to success after all! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy National Assistant Principals Day! What better way to celebrate the amazing Mr. Mudd than by giving him a pie in the face!

Not only is he a great sport, but he is also a wonderful Assistant Principal.
