Catoosa Public Schools will reopen for in-person learning tomorrow (January 29, 2026) after being closed for the past six days.

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.
