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.

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.

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.
