Due to morning road conditions, Conneuat Area City Schools will be folloiwng a 2 hour delay. All busses will start running 2 hours later than they normally would. For example, if your student normally gets picked up by a bus at 6:15 am, today they will get picked up at 8:15 am. Door will open at CMS at 9 am, CHS at 9:10 am, GES at 10:10 am and LPS at 11:10 am. There is no MORNING Preschool at LPS. Busses running to Atech and all other out of district places will also run two hours late. Roads were just in the process of being cleared so this gives us some extra time for safety and allows for us to get the rest of the school day in. I watched Kindergarten practice for their program so the show can go on! Happy Holidays and Stay Safe!

Last Monday, the Conneaut community lost one of its most enduring figures with the passing of former Conneaut High School Band Director, Mr. George Voytek, at the age of 83. During a Conneaut school career that spanned the late 1960’s, through the 70’s, 80’s, and well into the 1990’s, Mr. Voytek, or “Coach V”, as he was known to his students, shaped thousands of lives. Mr. Voytek possessed an ability to gently nurture, with a larger than life enthusiasm, all wrapped up in a love for music that he transferred to his students. Just as with our CHS Band of today, Mr. George Voytek’s Conneaut High School Bands were not only producers of beautiful music, but were an integral part of Conneaut High School athletics in providing a fun and lively atmosphere for all to enjoy and remember. Although Mr. Voytek is gone, his presence will always be a part of this high school and in the traditions that he helped to establish, not to mention in the creation memories carried by all of the young people who grew into adulthood and were touched by his teaching. Rest easy Coach V. …To a life well- lived Coach will be laid to rest today at St Joseph Cemetary with the CHS Band present. In lieu of flowers, “Coach” has asked that donations be made in his name to the Conneaut Music Boosters. Venmo and PayPal QR codes are included, or a check payable to “Conneaut Music Boosters” can be mailed to: PO BOX 712 Conneaut, OH 44030

The Conneaut Area City School District is aware of online threats of violence that have been made to Ohio schools yesterday that are similar to threats made in other states recently. We received a message yesterday from the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) who is actively working with the Statewide Terrorism Analysis and Crime Center and Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as schools and local law enforcement to support their efforts in investigation of these threats. While some of the threats have been determined to be false through law enforcement investigation, the district takes all threats to schools seriously. Members of the Conneaut Police Department did a sweep of all of our buildings early this morning. If there is any time anyone would like to make a report concerning threats or concerns of safety you may do so directly to local law enforcement or through the use of the state's Safer Ohio School Tip Line. 844-SaferOH (844-723-3764) The Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts tips via call, text, webform, and mobile app 24 hours-a-day. Anyone can download the Safer Ohio School Tip Line app or use this link to access the webform. This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety — whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student. Again, the district takes every threat seriously and the safety of our students is our top priority. We very much appreciate our partnership with the Conneaut Police Department both in their quick response to communication and action.

This is just a reminder that the Stuff the Bus Battle is happening today at Wal-Mart between 10-2. You can drop off unwrapped toys, non-perishable food items or hygiene products or make a monetary donation. Each item or dollar placed on the Conneaut bus counts as a point and helps us to beat Geneva and keep the Battle of the Bus trophy in Conneaut. Please stop out and help our local veteran families this Christmas season. They deserve our support and recognition for their dedication to our freedom. And Go Spartans!

It looks like we will be extending Thanksgiving Break by an extra day today. Due to the snowy conditions, all schools will be closed in the Conneaut Area City School District. I always think the first snow day is an opportunity for parents to spend some time practicing with our first time licensed student drivers who may have not experienced winter driving yet, if and when the conditions are favorable to do so. Please stay safe and please use caution if you are out. Thank you.

Conneaut Area City Schools is seeking a 2 mill continuous levy that would raise an estimated $444,000 annually. On your ballot, you will see the word “Additional” to describe the tax. Please remember, while the levy will be considered a new levy, the 2 mill Permanent Improvement Levy WILL NOT increase millage. Funds will be used to keep ahead of costly repairs, keep buses in good repair and ensure students have up-to-date technology.

Shout out to Nutrition Service Supervisor Elizabeth Gillette and Central Cafeteria Staff Kim Tantari, Darla Bixby and Cathy Ezzone for finding new and creative ways to improve school lunches. Yesterday they served 201 "walking tacos" to the middle school students. They also provided that same lunch to the District Implementation Team and State Support Team who were meeting in Mrs Riley's office. Rather than ordering out for lunch, the adults ordered from the cafeteria, too! Thank you nutrition service team for being a positive change in the district!
