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.

Clio Area Schools families, just a quick reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Friday, August 28.
We hope everyone had a great first week back! Enjoy the long weekend, get some rest, and we’ll see our Mustangs back at school next week!
Inspire. Empower. Achieve.

🧡🖤 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! 🧡🖤
