This Saturday, March 5th, the freshman class will be hosting a craft and vendor fair at Conneaut High School from 9am-3pm. Over 40 crafters and vendors will be spread out in the cafeteria and the hallways. The show will feature a visit from the Easter Bunny, concessions, a 50/50 raffle, and a Chance Auction which will be drawn at 2:00. Admission is just $1 for adults. Students and children are free.

Effective Tuesday, March 1, 2022, the Conneaut Area City Schools will no longer mandate that masks be worn in school buildings or on buses or vans operated by the district. This change is intended to align with the CDC’s updated guidance, which no longer recommends universal masking in K-12 settings in areas with low or medium COVID-19 community levels. Currently, Ashtabula County is at a medium level. This moves the intended date up from March 7 to tomorrow. The district supports any family who may wish for their child to still wear a mask. We recognize we may have children or families who are at risk of severe illness and we want to continue to allow for the protection of those families. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Stay #SpartanStrong!

Due to icy road conditions in some areas of the district, there is no school in Conneaut today. Stay safe.
