Dear Catoosa parents and families,
Welcome to our new families and welcome back to our returning families! School starts on Monday, August 12, and we are eager to see your children in class on time and ready to learn. We have an exciting year ahead that includes new faces, new learning opportunities, and even a new school building!
Whether you are new to our community or the parent of a rising senior, you are our most important partner in your child’s learning journey. We work diligently to stay connected with you, and we need you to stay connected with us! You can always find the latest information and updates on our website and on our Facebook page. As you prepare for a great start to the year, remember to:
Bookmark our school calendar which includes our parent/teacher conference dates;
Check your child’s bus schedule and bus stop locations before the first day of school; and
If you haven’t yet, there is still time to get your child enrolled!
Before school starts, please also visit our PowerSchool student information system to keep your contact information current - even if it has not changed, take a few minutes to confirm that we have accurate phone numbers and email addresses for you.
This year, you will meet some new school leaders:
Principal Rex Langley and Assistant Principal Michael Douglas at Wells Middle School.
Principal Kelsey Barbee at Cherokee Elementary School.
We also have Principal Mitch McGrew and Assistant Principal Lynette Burchfield returning to Catoosa High School. We are fortunate to be starting the year with strong leadership teams in place district-wide, and our school leaders and educators are looking forward to working with you this year to help your child learn, grow, and thrive.
Enjoy this last week of break, and we’ll see you on campus on Monday, August 12.
In service,
Robert Schornick
