What an incredible way to begin a new school year! 🧡🖤
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.
Schedules are live! Please log in to Student Vue or Parent Vue to see your schedule. Class changes can be done by request at bit.ly/CHSClassChange through Thursday, August 27. If you are able to stop by to see us at the open house we will be open from 5-6. Please use the Auditorium entrance. See you soon!

Five years ago, we started the Back-to-School Kickoff with a simple but important goal: bring our community together and make sure every child begins the school year feeling supported, prepared, and ready to succeed.
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! 🧡🖤

📱 Know the Apps. Start the Conversation. Protect Our Mustangs. 🧡🖤
The digital world is constantly changing, and many of the apps our children use every day include features that allow them to connect with strangers, share their location, send disappearing messages, or access inappropriate content.
While many of these apps have legitimate uses, it's important for parents to understand the potential risks and have regular conversations with their children about staying safe online.
Take a few minutes to review our "Know the Apps" guide and ask your child:
• What apps are you using?
• Who are you talking to online?
• Do you know how to report or block someone?
• Are your privacy settings turned on?
💡 Remember:
• Keep devices in common areas when possible.
• Review privacy and location settings together.
• Talk about what to do if someone online makes them uncomfortable.
• Remind children to never share personal information, passwords, photos, or their location with someone they don't know.
• Keep the conversation open, supportive, and judgment-free so they'll come to you if something doesn't feel right.
Technology changes quickly, but staying involved is one of the best ways to keep our students safe.
🧡 Together, we can help our Mustangs make smart, safe choices both in and out of the classroom.
Note: Apps and online platforms change frequently. The presence of an app on this guide doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe for every user, but it may include features that parents should be aware of. We encourage families to review apps together and use them responsibly.
