Today we held a summer appreciation picnic for our 260 day employees and summer staff. These are the amazing people who made sure the buildings are clean or repaired, the buses are ready to roll, the grounds or athletic fields are mowed or striped, technology is updated or our day to day office needs continue to be met. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work this summer. We look forward to seeing the rest of the Spartan staff and our students when they return over the next few weeks!

Today the Conneaut Area City School staff, in conjunction with a variety of community safety forces, conducted a full scale school wide drill. Conducting such drills is crucial for ensuring preparedness and response effectiveness in case of emergencies. These exercises help everyone involved to practice and understand their roles, identify areas for improvement, and enhance overall safety protocols. We will debrief today's exercise and identify areas of strength and where we can improve.
A very special thank you to Officer Tim Rose and Detective Taylor Cleveland for organizing this very powerful day. To our Spartan staff, parents and especially students who filled a variety of roles today my heartfelt gratitude goes out to each and every one of you for your exceptional commitment and contributions today.

Quick reminder to our Spartan families! There will be no school tomorrow as we mark the end of the second quarter. Conneaut staff will be participating in the safety drill so there will be limited staff at CMS, GES, and LPS. There will be no public access to CHS until after 2 pm. Reminder, tomorrow is Little Spartan Cheer night as our boys basketball team takes on the Jefferson Falcons at Garcia Gymnasium!
This Friday, January 26th, there will be an Emergency Response Drill at Conneaut High School from approximately 9am to approximately 2pm. School is NOT in session that day district wide, but there will be a large Police and EMS presence in the area.
For your safety and to allow for the smooth execution of the drill, we kindly request that you avoid the area during the specified time. It's important to emphasize that this is solely a training exercise and not an actual emergency situation.
We appreciate your collaboration in ensuring a secure learning environment for our students and staff. These safety drills are invaluable for our CASC staff and community emergency partners. Your understanding and cooperation contribute greatly to the success of these preparedness efforts.
Thank you for being a valued part of our commitment to safety.
Good morning. Due to icy conditions on the untreated roads, side roads, parking lots and sidewalks, there will be no school in Conneaut today. Main roads are ok but not everyone gets to school that way. In the best interest of keeping all students and staff safe, CACS is closed.
After much thought about what the overnight is forecasted to bring and to allow families to prepare this evening, I am cancelling school for tomorrow, Friday January 19. Conneaut is under a winter storm WARNING through Saturday at 10 pm. All schools in the county have made this same decision. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Advisory for Conneaut until noon on Wednesday. Overnight lows will fall into the single digits to near zero degrees tonight with wind chills as low as -15 degrees expected through Wednesday morning. After consultation with county superintendents, there will be no school for Conneaut Area City School students tomorrow, Wednesday January 17. Student activities will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Stay warm.
Due to morning road conditions, Conneuat Area City Schools will be folloiwng a 2 hour delay. All busses will start running 2 hours later than they normally would. For example, if your student normally gets picked up by a bus at 6:15 am, today they will get picked up at 8:15 am.
Door will open at CMS at 9 am, CHS at 9:10 am, GES at 10:10 am and LPS at 11:10 am. There is no MORNING Preschool at LPS.
Busses running to Atech and all other out of district places will also run two hours late.
Roads were just in the process of being cleared so this gives us some extra time for safety and allows for us to get the rest of the school day in. I watched Kindergarten practice for their program so the show can go on!
Happy Holidays and Stay Safe!
