Please note the following bus and route number changes that will take effect for the upcoming school year. Only the route numbers and bus numbers are changing — your child’s pickup and drop-off locations and times will remain the same.
New Route & Bus Number Assignments:
Route 11, Bus 11 → Now Route 19, Bus 19
Route 38, Bus 38 → Now Route 18, Bus 18
Route 12, Bus 12 → Now Route 16, Bus 16
Route 9, Bus 9 → Now Route 14, Bus 14
Route 10, Bus 10 → Now Route 17, Bus 17
Route 8, Bus 8 → Now Route 15, Bus 15

Again, this is a number change only — routes and times will stay the same.
We’ve made a few updates to our transportation plan that will affect students attending Tulsa Tech campuses for the 2025–2026 school year:
Morning Transportation:
The 7:00 AM and 2:50 PM Broken Arrow buses have been removed from the route list.
All students will now board the 6:30 AM Tech/Catoosa bus to the Rogers Hub.
From there, Tulsa Public Schools will transport students to their assigned Tech campus.
Afternoon Transportation:
At 2:50 PM, students will ride a Tulsa Public Schools bus from their Tech campus back to the Rogers Hub.
At the Rogers Hub, students will transfer to the Tech/Catoosa bus to return to Catoosa.
Midday Adjustment:
Riverside campus students will now ride the Lemley/Catoosa midday bus.
They will no longer use the Broken Arrow/Catoosa midday route.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we streamline transportation to better serve all our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Gary Williams, Director of Transportation, for questions. gwilliams@catoosa.k12.ok.us

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.
