Wells Middle School will be IN SESSION on Friday, January 30, 2026.
This will be an in-person learning day with a regular school schedule.

Inclement Weather Update: January 28, 2026
Catoosa Public Schools will reopen for in-person learning tomorrow (January 29, 2026) after being closed for the past six days.
Morning temperatures will be chilly, so please be reminded to dress accordingly. We have done an outstanding job clearing most sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots across the district.
That said, there may still be some slick spots, so please use caution as you arrive.
Bus routes will run at their normal times, and district and site offices will open on their regular schedules.
We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow and Friday for in-person learning.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this extended weather event.
We can't wait to see everyone back on campus.

Inclement Weather Update: January 27, 2026
"We're fired up... but the roads aren't!"
We've worked hard to clear sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots, and we've driven several of our most dangerous routes today. For safety, we will continue with distance learning on Wednesday, January 28.
Tomorrow's warmer temperatures, which are expected to rise above freezing, will allow conditions to continue improving.
Thank you for supporting safe decisions for our students and


We will continue to closely monitor conditions and communicate any updates as needed to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
