🧡 October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month 🖤

At Clio Area Schools, every Mustang deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. Together, we can build a school community where kindness is practiced, differences are celebrated, and everyone belongs.

mall actions matter, include someone, speak up when you see bullying, and reach out to a trusted adult when you need help. Families can help by talking with their children about kindness, respect, and how to support others, both in person and online.

Let’s stand together against bullying and stand up for each other, this month and every month.

🧡🖤 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 Elementary – 2:30PM
Clio Intermediate – 2:45 PM
Clio Middle School – 1:20 PM

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. 🇺🇸

It was wonderful to celebrate this exciting milestone alongside our students, families, staff, Board of Education, community partners, and members of the Clio community.

This building represents so much more than a renovated school, it represents an investment in our youngest Mustangs and the future of our community.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this project possible and to all who came out to celebrate with us.

To help ensure a safe and smooth dismissal for all students, we are making an important adjustment to our afternoon parent pick-up process, effective immediately.

Our school bus will enter the pick-up area at approximately 3:25 pm. To allow the bus to safely enter, load students, and depart on schedule without delays, parent pick-up will begin at 3:35 pm.

Beginning immediately, please follow these procedures:

Parents arriving for regular pick-up should remain in their vehicles until the cones are placed in front of the building at 3:35 pm.
Please do not enter the pick-up area while the bus is loading and departing.
If you need to pick up your child before 3:35 pm., please use the front entrance and follow our normal early pick-up procedure.
This adjustment is being made with the safety of all students as our top priority. Providing the bus with a clear window to safely enter and exit will help keep transportation running on schedule while also allowing parent pick-up to flow more smoothly.

We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together to make dismissal as safe and efficient as possible for everyone.

We are so excited to welcome our Tiny Mustangs tomorrow for their very first day of preschool!

To help ease those first-day jitters, here is a special book you can listen to with your child before bed tonight.

https://youtu.be/SJ9I9OTMtDY?si=7RK99RbhySFP_--r

Questions to ask your preschooler after listening:

• How do you think Billy felt about going to preschool?
• What are you most excited about for your first day of school?
• Is there anything about school that makes you feel a little nervous?
• What do you think you might do when you get to school?
• What would you like to play with or explore?
• Who do you think you might meet at school?
• What could you do if you start to miss Mommy, Daddy, or another grown-up?
• What is one thing you hope happens on your first day?

Most importantly, remind your child that it’s okay to feel excited, nervous, happy, or even a little scared about starting school. All of those feelings are normal!

We can’t wait to see all of our Tiny Mustangs bright and early in the morning! We’re going to have a wonderful first day!
