Conneaut Area City Schools

Good morning! Conneaut Schools are OPEN! However please allow for additional time on roads especially if you are traveling early this morning before sunrise. Allow additional time for our bus drivers as well. Some roads are icy at this time. Student drivers should be warned of black ice and be told to allow for extra time before stopping. Go slow and be safe today-Spartans are precious cargo!

STUFF THE BUS BATTLE! December 3, 2022 from 10:00 – 2:00 pm at Ashtabula Walmart Let’s help the Conneaut Area City School District take home the trophy for collecting the most items! Conneaut, Buckeye and Geneva School Districts will see who can collect the most food and toys for Feed Our Vets and Operation Toy Soldier (sponsored by the Marcy Funeral Home). Whichever school collects the most will be presented with the “Battle of the Bus” Trophy! This trophy will stay in the winning school until the next battle next Christmas season. All food collected (nonperishable and hygiene products) for Feed Our Vets will stay in Ashtabula Co. for Veterans and their families. All new unwrapped toys will go to military families active and non-active in Ashtabula Co. for Christmas. Operation Toy Soldier drive is for all Veterans solely based on their commitment to our country. Please stop out and help our local Veteran families this Christmas season! They deserve our support and recognition for their dedication to our freedom! Items may be dropped off at any CACS school building from now through Dec 2nd. Or head to WalMart on the 3rd and drop your items off in person.

The Voices of Hope Concert RETURNS December 1 at 6:30pm at the Conneaut Human Resources Center!

Tomorrow, Saturday, November 5th, the freshman class will be hosting a craft and vendor fair at Conneaut High School from 9-3. Over 50 crafters and vendors will be spread out in the cafeteria and the hallways. Please use the Jackson Street entrance. The show will feature a visit from Santa, concessions, a 50/50 raffle, and a basket raffle with winners being drawn at 2:00. Admission is just $1 for adults. Students and children are free. Come out and support local crafters and vendors and the freshman class.

There is a house fire which has caused streets to be closed in the area of Madison and Chestnut Streets. Busses may be running behind because of this. Also, students who walk will be arriving home later as well.

On Monday November 21, CACS district staff, in conjunction with the Conneaut Police Department and Community Counseling, will be conducting district wide school safety training. In order to train all district staff on this day, students will have to switch to a remote learning day. More information will follow but since we met and made this decision today we wanted to give our families time to make plans in advance. Parent/teacher conferences will still be held that evening beginning at 3:30. Thank you for you for your understanding and flexibility to allow us to conduct this necessary training.
