Picture Day for Conneaut High School is Tuesday, September 5! No order forms will be sent home.

See you Tuesday with your best smile! Enjoy the long weekend!

Conneaut High School has a rich tradition of hosting exchange students from countries across the world. In recent years we have welcomed students from Brazil, France, Italy, and Spain. We have partnered with a wonderful agency to bring these students here in the past, and they are once again looking to place 5 students in homes in this area. If you would be interested in welcoming an exchange student into your home this school year, please email sanservitz@cacsk12.org or call the high school at 440-593-7210.

Parents and Guardians: please log in to FinalForms to complete your student's back-to-school forms for the 2023-24 school year. You should have received an email from FinalForms with a link to your account. If you did not, you can access it at this link: https://conneaut-oh.finalforms.com/students Remember, this replaces the traditional paperwork that used to be sent home on the first day. Your information is already populated in the online forms, and you will only need to make any necessary changes or updates and then sign off. Please take a few minutes to complete this information now so that we have the most up-to-date information for your child and household.
