Stay Connected with Conneaut Area City Schools – All in One Place
Conneaut Area City Schools is making communication simpler and more streamlined for our families. We will be transitioning away from Remind and moving all district and classroom communication into our official CACS app.
Why the change from Remind to a dedicated CACS App?
✔ One app, less clutter – Reduce “app fatigue” by keeping everything in a single, easy-to-use platform
✔ Real-time notifications – Receive updates directly from your child’s teachers and the district
✔ Google Classroom integration – View classroom posts and updates without needing additional logins
✔ Cost savings initiative – Helps the district reduce expenses while maintaining strong communication tools
🚧 Coming Soon:
We are currently enhancing the app to support direct messaging between staff, students, and guardians. While this feature is in development, messaging for guardians is not yet available. We will be sure to notify everyone as soon as this functionality is ready.
We encourage all families and students to get ahead of the rollout and download the app today so you’re ready when these features go live!
Our goal is to provide a smoother, more consistent experience for parents and guardians—keeping you informed and connected without the need for multiple apps.
📲 Download the Conneaut Area City Schools app today and stay connected! The app can be downloaded from either the Play Store or the App Store for your specific device.
Android: Play Store

Your dedication often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt everywhere. Our schools simply wouldn’t function without you. We appreciate you more than words can express.

The City of Conneaut is excited to announce a new transportation safety effort funded through the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe Streets & Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. The City of Conneaut is in the initial stages of completing a Roadway Safety Action Plan that will identify traffic crash hotspots and unsafe parts of the transportation system to help make the City’s roads and sidewalks safer and more accessible for everyone. Please join us for an informal open house event on Thursday, April 9 anytime between 4PM and 7PM at the UCC Church at 211 Buffalo St. Stop in, have some snacks, and tell us about your experiences with transportation in the City so that together, we can ensure our roads and sidewalks are safe for all users.

❄️ Calamity Day Wednesday, January 28 | Update for Families ❄️
Dear Spartan Families,
Due to the continued cold weather advisory issued for tomorrow morning, schools will be closed again, making this our fourth calamity day in a row.
Please believe me when I say I know this is incredibly hard. Calamity days disrupt routines, create childcare challenges, and place a burden on families. This decision was made with student safety as our top priority.
We are also very aware that for many of our students, school is where they receive daily breakfast and lunch, and we do not take that lightly when we have to close schools.
Therefore to support our families tomorrow, the district will be distributing 400 lunch bags for students at multiple locations around the district. Details on times and locations are shared below:
12:00 Conneaut High School and Lakeshore Primary School
12:00~Mobile Grove (Back of the park where the bus stops)
12:15~Highland Apartments
12:30~Astatic (corner of Jackson and Harbor)
12:45~Optimist Club
We could add additional stops in the morning based on volume and volunteers. We will send that information out if we can. If you would like to pick up at any of these locations please be prompt.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we navigate this together. Our staff is eager to welcome students back as soon as conditions allow.
Please stay warm and safe.
Lori Riley
❄️ No School on Tuesday, January 27 ❄️
Because of the Extreme Cold Warning in effect until 11:00 a.m., there will be no school on Tuesday, January 27.
We know this may create challenges for families, but dangerously low temperatures and wind chills make travel and waiting outside unsafe, especially for students who walk or ride the bus.
Please stay warm and take care. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming students back once conditions improve.
PS-I have a very creative team that sent this photo!
