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 1/12/2026, 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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

We had a high school student who graciously collected winter clothing donations for any of our elementary and secondary students in need. Every morning before school this week, our students are free to take anything that they may need. If your children come home with any clothing that you do not recognize, it is due to the winter clothing donations.
