Good afternoon Cotopaxi families please read the following notice taking effect on January 12, 2026 :
Formal Notice to School Community and Staff Regarding Caffeine Pouches
This notice is intended to inform all members of the school community, including staff, students, and families, of the school’s position regarding the possession and use of caffeine pouches on school property.
Effective 1/12/2025, caffeine pouches are prohibited on all school grounds. For the purposes of enforcement, these products will be treated the same as nicotine and THC pouches, and any possession or use will result in consequences aligned with the Student Handbook policies governing nicotine/THC products and controlled substances.
This determination has been made for the following reasons:
Health and Safety Considerations
Caffeine pouches can contain high concentrations of caffeine, which may negatively impact student health, including increased heart rate, anxiety, nausea, and impaired focus.Inability to Distinguish Product Contents
Caffeine, nicotine, and THC pouches are often visually indistinguishable. School staff cannot reliably determine the contents of a pouch at the time of discovery. To ensure consistent, fair, and enforceable application of school policy, all such products must be addressed uniformly.Consistency With a Safe and Productive Learning Environment
Allowing these products on campus undermines established policies designed to support student well-being, safety, and an environment conducive to learning.
Staff are asked to enforce this policy consistently and refer any violations to administration in accordance with established procedures. Students and families are expected to comply fully with this policy.
Thank you to our staff and community for your cooperation and continued support in maintaining a safe and healthy school environment.

This fall, Cotopaxi School is preparing to administer the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS), the state’s most comprehensive youth health survey.
The survey covers topics like safety, mental health, relationships, and substance use. Data from the HKCS will help Cotopaxi School identify student needs and track trends in youth health and wellbeing. All Cotopaxi School parents/guardians will receive a permission form and a copy of the survey and can opt their students out of participation. The survey is anonymous. Students are advised to skip any questions that they are not comfortable answering or don’t understand and will not put their name or any other identifying information on the survey.
Questions? Email Debbie Eggleston at deggleston@cotopaxire3.org and visit www.healthykidscolo.org to learn more.
REMINDER: Free dental services coming to the Cotopaxi School on October 29th and 30th.
