Conneaut Middle School

Conneaut Area City Schools is excited to announce that the district will launch a new transportation app, StopFinder, on March 13. The StopFinder app will allow parents and guardians to accurately track their children’s school bus in real-time, see specific stop information, as well as transportation alerts. It will be critical that all parent/guardian contact information is up-to-date to receive alerts from the StopFinder app. If you are unsure if the district has your updated contact or address information, please call your student's school at the numbers below.

Conneaut High School will be hosting "Leap Into High School" 8th Grade Transition meetings on Thursday, February 29 from 4:00-7:00pm. Current 8th grade students and their families may sign up for 30-minute appointment times where they will have the opportunity to meet with a Conneaut High School teacher and learn about everything CHS has to offer. Topics discussed will include: course scheduling, planning for your future, activities and athletics available at CHS, and a day in the life of a CHS student. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what to expect in high school, and to make connections with a teacher who will then be a familiar face in the fall of 2024. If you are interested in attending, please sign up using the following link: https://forms.gle/Y1PYHQVyY3GWJyX98
