Conneaut Area City Schools

Hey Spartan Families, we are so excited to have our students back in the buildings full time on Wednesday! Please make sure you stop today or tomorrow at all the open houses where you will get to meet the teachers and learn some vital information: 1. Sample some breakfast and/or school lunches and complete the lunch forms. This year students will either be free or full pay. 2. Make sure the address we have on file in our system is current so busses can be routed correctly from day 1. Due to limited drivers and busses at full capacity, we must adhere to the walks zones, and will not be able to transport open enrolled students. Once the year starts, we will be able to reevaluate the transportation situation. If anyone knows potential bus drivers who would like to work for the districts, please give us a call. 3. If you haven't updated Final Forms, there will be staff to assist you with looking over last year' s information and letting us know of any changes. Once that is done you will receive your child's chromebook. If you have had an address change you will need to provide proof of residency. 4. Learn about Title I programs and other curricular and extra curricular opportunities for your child. We hope you all had a wonderful summer! Make sure you set the alarm Tuesday night!!

The Conneaut City Health Department will be holding Back to School Immunization Clinics on August 21, 22 and 23 from 1:00 pm-5:00 pm and also on Thursday August 24th from 9:00 am -12:00 pm.

Tomorrow, Monday August 21st, is the backpack distribution at the Conneaut Human Resources Center. It will be held from 10am-1pm.

Did you know.... If you have moved and need to change your address (or if you are registering for the first time), you must make the changes in Final Forms AND provide proof of residency. What is acceptable proof of residency that I can scan you ask? Homeowner - Mortgage statement or a current utility bill (dated within the past 30 days). Renter - Current lease agreement or detailed letter from management/landlord or a current utility bill (dated within the past 30 days). Living with a friend/relative - Complete the Statement of Residency form. This form must be signed by the owner/landlord/manager of the residence and notarized. A current utility bill (dated within the past 30 days) in the name of the person with whom you are living. The Statement of Residency form may be downloaded from Final Forms or picked up at your student’s school. If you have changed your address but have not provided proper proof of residency, building administrative assistants will be calling next week to help you.

There is a boiler issue at CHS causing flooding in 2 hallways. It has also become necessary to turn the heat off until we can fix this issue. We are closing the building to students and sending them home. Buses will be back to take students home around 9:15. They will be given breakfast and will remain in the cafeteria. Students who walk or drive may leave now. Parents may pick up students now as well. Again, there is a boiler issue at CHS causing flooding and a lack of heat.
