💙💛 Our community showed up for our kids today!
Hundreds of backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed at the Conneaut Human Resource Center, along with vision screenings from the Lions Club, vaccinations from the Conneaut Health Dept., Suit for School providing clothing, Ravenwood Health Center, Head Start, and information promoting great school attendance, and last but not least, Officer Rose and Auggie.
A special shout-out to Jonny McFly and his son, Nathan who volunteered for four hours giving free haircuts! ✂️
More than supplies, today was about giving our students confidence, support, and a great start to the new school year.
This is community. This is Spartan pride. Go Spartans! 💙💛
What a night! 🎨 Our students absolutely shined at Thursday's Night of Fine Arts, and we're still buzzing with excitement! ✨ The creativity on display was truly remarkable—from Mrs. Brecht's snack and paint station to stunning pop art, there was something magical happening in every corner. 🌟 Watching our learners express themselves through art reminded us why we love what we do. 🎭🎵 Thank you for supporting these incredible young artists! 💫

Stay Connected with Conneaut Area City Schools – All in One Place
Conneaut Area City Schools is making communication simpler and more streamlined for our families. We will be transitioning away from Remind and moving all district and classroom communication into our official CACS app.
Why the change from Remind to a dedicated CACS App?
✔ One app, less clutter – Reduce “app fatigue” by keeping everything in a single, easy-to-use platform
✔ Real-time notifications – Receive updates directly from your child’s teachers and the district
✔ Google Classroom integration – View classroom posts and updates without needing additional logins
✔ Cost savings initiative – Helps the district reduce expenses while maintaining strong communication tools
🚧 Coming Soon:
We are currently enhancing the app to support direct messaging between staff, students, and guardians. While this feature is in development, messaging for guardians is not yet available. We will be sure to notify everyone as soon as this functionality is ready.
We encourage all families and students to get ahead of the rollout and download the app today so you’re ready when these features go live!
Our goal is to provide a smoother, more consistent experience for parents and guardians—keeping you informed and connected without the need for multiple apps.
📲 Download the Conneaut Area City Schools app today and stay connected! The app can be downloaded from either the Play Store or the App Store for your specific device.
Android: Play Store

Just a reminder. . . .
🎵 March is Music in Our Schools Month and Gateway Elementary's 3rd grade went ALL OUT celebrating America's 250th birthday! Tuesday had us on our feet as Miss Bernardini, Miss Kohli, and Mrs. Geric's classes absolutely crushed their performances. Then Wednesday? Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Cunningham, and Mrs. Nieminen's classes brought the house DOWN with their equally outstanding show. 🎉 The energy was electric, the talent was real, and our gym was packed with families cheering on their amazing scholars. 🙌 Huge shout-out to Miss Trost for keeping the musical vibes pumped up and helping us celebrate our nation's 250 birthday in the most joyful way possible! 🎸✨
🚀 Gateway Elementary had an absolutely stellar day today! We welcomed Tech Sergeant Chris Kelly from the United States Space Force—and get this, he is a CHS graduate (Class of 2015) and he's a proud Gateway Elementary alum from way back!
During our assembly, Tech Sergeant Kelly took us on a journey through space 🌌, cracked the code on how the internet actually works 💻, and showed us the mind-bending ways messages zoom around the world 🌍 His visit was the perfect reminder that the students sitting in our classrooms today could be tomorrow's space explorers, engineers, and innovators. Nothing quite hits like seeing real-world inspiration walk through your school doors! ✨
