Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year, we want to share an important update about how we will be handling student medications at Catoosa Public Schools.
Beginning next school year, our school will no longer be administering morning medications to students. With the addition of two more grade levels at one of our sites, we will now have seven grades in a single building for the first time. This significant growth means more students in the building, more activity in the nurse’s office, and a greater need to streamline routines for safety and efficiency. Adjusting how we manage medication is a practical and necessary step as we continue to support the health needs of all students.
This change is also in line with procedures followed by many surrounding districts, which have made similar updates to better meet the demands of growing school populations and ensure safe practices throughout the school day.
To help with this transition, any prescription medication that needs to be administered during school hours must have a specific time of administration clearly printed on the pharmacy label. This time must be assigned by your child’s healthcare provider. Medications that do not include a specific time on the label will not be accepted at school.
We kindly ask that you work with your child’s doctor and pharmacist to ensure that any school-time prescriptions include the required timing.
We understand this change may require a few adjustments at home, and we truly appreciate your support as we make these updates in the best interest of our students. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact the school nurse.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
