Attention Parents and Guardians,
Please read this important message from CPS Health Services.

Graduation day is just around the corner, and we're looking forward to a wonderful celebration of our outstanding class of 2024! Like many of you, we are monitoring the weather closely to ensure that the forecast provides the kind of beautiful evening our graduates deserve. If the weather forecast requires any changes to our graduation ceremony, we will notify our community no later than 1pm on Wednesday, May 22. Congratulations, class of 2024 - we can't wait to see you turn that tassel!


Catoosa Families, as you probably know, the recent weather forecast indicates severe weather moving into the area later today and into the evening hours. As a precaution, we’ve decided to postpone all activities on our campus starting this evening. Specifically, the physical, drug test and enrollment expo are scheduled to start at 6:00 PM. While this can be inconvenient, we prioritize keeping our students, staff, and families safe. We hope you understand this is the right step to take.
The good news is that our team arranged a new time and date to reschedule these events. They will be held at the same time on Monday, May 13th.
Question? Please call 918-266-8603

*Today, April 15th, students will bring home their PowerSchool Student Access ID and password. After creating a parent portal, this information will be needed to add your student to your account.*


Can you believe our seniors, the Class of 2024, will be walking across the stage to receive their diplomas in 45 days?
This is a special time when many lifelong memories are made, and graduation ceremonies are a way to honor the Senior Class of 2024 and the perseverance and commitment our students have demonstrated to reach this milestone. Whether their plans are to enter college, the military, the workforce, or whatever comes next after graduation, we are looking forward to celebrating with them at Graduation 2024.
Commencement ceremonies are our gift to our seniors, and Catoosa High School is already busy preparing a special graduation celebration that will signify the pride we all feel in the accomplishments of our graduates. We will again conduct an outdoor graduation ceremony at Frank McNabb Stadium.
If the unpredictable Oklahoma weather forces us to move inside, we have a backup plan. Details on this plan will be communicated by the school as soon as possible.
We have much to celebrate, and we look forward to joining our parents and families in honoring the Class of 2024. See you at Graduation! #co2024


Hello CPS families,
Catoosa Public Schools is considering launching an After School Extended Day Program for the 2024-2025 school year to address the need for quality after-school care. The program will provide students with a safe and nurturing environment, offering homework help, nutritious snacks, and physical activities. We will strive to support academic achievement, build self-esteem, and foster character development. The program will be held at Cherokee Elementary and cater to pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade students. We seek your input through a brief survey (one per child) to ensure its success.
