Conneaut Area City Schools

Just a reminder that CACS is closed today in honor of Presidents Day. And yes, Mrs Riley is already monitoring the weather for tomorrow 🥶❄️🌨

Conferences for Feb 11th and 12th have been cancelled. They will be rescheduled by your child's teacher for a date and time in March. Instead, Conneaut Area City School staff will be receiving their first round of the vaccine on Friday. We have been able to partner with the Conneaut Health Department and distribute the vaccine to 190 staff members on Feb 12th. Therefore, this will still be a non-student day as scheduled on the school calendar. Thanks for your continued cooperation during this COVID school year.

Please Note: Grab n Go Food will be distributed TOMORROW instead of Monday. You may pick up lunches tomorrow Friday February 5th from 10-11 am at either Conneaut High School front door or Conneuat Middle School circle. There will NOT be food distribution on Monday. We will see you at the front entrances of either Conneaut High or Middle School tomorrow.

November 16, 2020 Dear Conneaut School Community, Following Covid-19 protocols, we want to inform you that over the weekend we have recently received information about three confirmed cases of COVID-19 in students from the Conneaut Area City Schools. One student is from Gateway, one from Conneaut High School and one from Atech. Because of the length of time the students have been out of the building, there is no educational impact on other students or staff. We want to send get well wishes to these students for a quick recovery! At Lakeshore Primary, Mrs. Kelly’s preschool class will be closed for the week. We have not received any notification from the health department of a confirmed case, but have decided to close the class as an extra safety precaution. Our priority is the health and wellness of our students and staff and we are following the recommended guidance to ensure a healthy environment for everyone. We continue to work closely with the Conneaut Local Health Department. Conneaut Area City Schools is committed to the safety and health of our students, staff and community. Please remember, what happens in our community impacts learning for the students in our district.
