📢 Clio Families: Help Us Reach 100% Participation!
One of the easiest ways you can support your child and every student in Clio Area Schools is by completing the 2026-2027 Educational Benefit Form.
⏱️ It takes less than 5 minutes
✅ Only one form per family
🎯 Our goal is 100% family participation
Even if you don't think your family qualifies for benefits, please complete the form. Every completed form matters.
While this form is no longer used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, it plays a critical role in helping Clio Area Schools receive funding that supports our students through:
📚 Reading and math intervention programs
👩🏫 Title and at-risk educational funding
🎒 School supplies and school fee assistance
🚌 Field trip support
🥫 Food assistance programs
🎁 Holiday support programs

Clio High School briefly entered Secure Mode today to limit hallway movement while an investigation was conducted. The situation was quickly resolved, and we returned to normal class operations shortly afterward.
As a reminder, Secure Mode differs from a lockdown. During Secure Mode, instruction continues, but movement in the building is restricted.
For more information on the differences between Secure Mode and lockdown procedures, please review the following document:
