As the Clio High School Marching Band prepares to compete in Novi this weekend, some of our future Mustang musicians are just beginning their journey!
Our fifth graders at Clio Intermediate School are getting ready to pick up their instruments, learn their first notes, and make their very first sounds. 🎺🥁🎷
Those first sounds may not be perfect, and that's exactly where the possibilities begin. With practice, encouragement, and plenty of perseverance, today's first notes could become tomorrow's Friday night performances and marching band competitions.
🧡🖤 We can't wait to hear where their musical journey takes them!
We’re proud to recognize our Students of the Month! Your hard work, positive attitude, and commitment to doing your best make a difference in our school community.
Congratulations on this well deserved recognition! 🧡🖤
Keep up the great work! 👏


Get ready to show your school spirit! 🎉 We encourage all students to join in the fun, participate in each day’s theme, and help make Spirit Week a great one!
We can’t wait to see your creativity and school pride all week long! 🧡🖤

Today, we recognize the signing of the U.S. Constitution and the principles that continue to shape our nation.
Constitution Day is an opportunity for our students to learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, the importance of civic engagement, and the role each of us plays in our democracy.
Happy Constitution Day from Clio Area Schools! 🇺🇸

Don’t miss out RSVP today and join us for Books & Bites! 📖🧁

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the strength, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed.
May we honor their memory not only today, but through the way we serve, support, and care for one another.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

There is something special happening across Clio Area Schools. From the excitement in our classrooms and the smiles in our hallways to our students representing Clio through athletics, activities, and so much more, the first week has been an incredible reminder of what it means to be a Mustang.
And what a way to cap off the week! 🏈 Our Mustang football team earned an impressive 58–0 victory over Mt. Morris yesterday! Congratulations to our players, coaches, cheerleaders, student section, band, families, and everyone who came out to fill the stands and support our students.
But this picture represents so much more than one football game or one victory. It represents community. It represents students supporting one another, families showing up, staff pouring their hearts into what they do, and an entire school district coming together around our kids.
To our Clio families, be proud to be a Mustang! There is so much to be excited about this year, the opportunities ahead, the people who make our schools special, and a community that continues to show up for one another. And we're only getting started.
Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community for making our first week one to remember. Here's to an incredible school year ahead, the friendships that will be made, the lessons that will be learned, the challenges that will be overcome, the accomplishments we will celebrate, and the memories that will last a lifetime.
The 2026–27 school year is officially underway, and we can't wait to see what our Mustangs accomplish together. 🧡🖤
Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang.

🧡🖤 End of the Day Communication Reminder
We know plans can change! To help ensure every student gets where they need to be safely at dismissal, please communicate any end of day transportation or pick-up changes to your child’s school at least one hour before dismissal.
Our school offices need time to receive your message, communicate the change to the appropriate staff, and make sure your child receives the correct information before the busy dismissal process begins. Last minute changes increase the chance that important information may not reach everyone in time.
Please make note of the deadline for your child’s school:
Clio Early Elementary – 2:45 PM
Clio Elementary – 2:30PM
Clio Intermediate – 2:45 PM
Clio Middle School – 1:20 PM
Clio High School – 1:30 PM
Clio Community High School – 1:30 PM
Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, organized, and smooth for every Mustang! 🧡🖤

📱 Haven’t Logged Into Rooms Yet? Let’s Get You Connected!
Clio families, if you haven’t downloaded the Clio Schools App or logged into Rooms yet, now is a great time to get connected!
Rooms is our district-wide communication platform this school year and replaces ClassDojo. This is where families can stay connected with their child’s teachers and receive important classroom communication.
Getting started is easy:
1. 📲 Download or update the Clio Schools App.
Already have the app from last year? Be sure to check the App Store or Google Play Store for an update. Some families have reported that Rooms did not appear until the app was updated.
2. ⚙️ Open the app and tap the gear icon in the top-right corner.
3. 🔐 Select Sign In and use your phone number or email address to log in.
4. 🏫 Once you’re signed in, select Rooms at the bottom. It should take you directly to your children’s classes.
Important: You may see “Rooms” in the app before signing in, but you must be signed in to access your child’s information.
If you haven’t gotten connected yet, please take a few minutes to download/update the app and sign in. We want to make sure every Clio family is connected and doesn’t miss important communication from their child’s school and teachers.
Once you’re connected, Rooms will make it easier to keep school communication all in one place.

The start of a new school year is just around the corner, and we can't wait to welcome our Mustang families back to school! Open House is the perfect opportunity to meet teachers, explore classrooms, learn about the upcoming school year, and get excited for an amazing year ahead.

We wanted families to have a place to connect. We wanted students to have the supplies and resources they need. And most of all, we wanted every child to walk into the first day of school knowing that an entire community is cheering them on.
This event is about more than bounce houses, music, games, and school supplies. It’s about belonging. It’s about connection. It’s about making sure every student has what they need to start the year with confidence.
When our community comes together for our kids, incredible things happen. For that we are thankful! 🧡🖤
