We are excited to welcome Kimberly Bennett as a Kindergarten Teacher at Clio Elementary School!

Originally from Vassar and currently residing in Burt, Kimberly earned her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. She brings valuable classroom experience from the past three and a half years as a substitute teacher with Birch Run Schools, serving in both daily and long-term positions in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade.

Becoming a teacher has been a dream of Kimberly’s since childhood, and with all four of her own children now in school, she is excited to make that dream a reality. This year brings an extra-special milestone for the Bennett family—Kimberly and her youngest son are both starting Kindergarten, just at different schools!

Kimberly and her husband have been married for 18 years and have four children who keep their family busy with soccer. From travel teams to AYSO, much of their time is spent at the soccer field, with her husband also helping coach.

Kimberly is especially excited to meet her students and their families and looks forward to creating a classroom where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed together.

Please join us in welcoming Kimberly Bennett to Clio Area Schools! We are excited to have her enthusiasm, experience, and lifelong passion for teaching as part of the Clio Elementary team.

Clio Elementary Families,

We’re just days away from welcoming our Mustangs back! 🖤🧡

As we prepare for the first day of school, please take a moment to review this important information regarding the Wilson Rd. construction and how it may impact arrival and dismissal.

A little extra planning and patience will help us start the year safely and smoothly. We can’t wait to see everyone next week!

Dear Clio Elementary Families, With school starting next week, we are excited to welcome our students back! As we prepare for Day One, we want to share a quick reminder regarding ongoing construction on Wilson Rd. and its impact on our parent pick-up and drop-off lines. While this city roadwork is completely out of the school’s control, we want to partner with you to keep traffic moving as safely and smoothly as possible. How You Can Help Plan Extra Time: Anticipate traffic delays along Wilson Rd. during peak morning and afternoon hours. Stay Alert: Watch for shifted traffic patterns, drive slowly, and follow staff directions in the driveway loop. Consider Busing: Bypassing the car line is the best way to avoid construction delays! District Buses & School of Choice Community Stops: In addition to standard neighborhood bus routes, we offer designated community bus stops specifically for our School of Choice families: Willard Rd. & Baker Rd. Colonial Hills Baptist Church Lifeline Church Note for School of Choice Families: If you would like to utilize one of these community stops, please make sure to sign up using the Alternate Bus Form (You can find this on our website). Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and partnership as we navigate these road improvements together. If you have any questions before next week, please contact the main office. Thank you,  Clio Elementary School Administration

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! 🧡🖤

Dear Parents and Guardians, The Clio Area Schools Transportation Department is implementing several updates to our transportation procedures for the 2026-2027 school year. These changes are designed to improve the safety, consistency, and efficiency of our bus routes. Maintaining consistent transportation schedules allows our drivers to better plan each route, provide more reliable pick-up and drop-off times, and ensure students are transported safely. Frequent last-minute changes to bus assignments can create confusion and delays that impact route efficiency and affect all families.  Please review the following transportation guidelines: Each student may have one primary address and one secondary address on file for transportation purposes (two addresses total). Both addresses must be located within the district.  If a secondary address is requested, a consistent week-to-week schedule must be established. Daily or last-minute changes between addresses cannot be accommodated. Secondary addresses may include another parent, grandparent, licensed childcare provider, or other regular caregiver. While we will make every effort to accommodate secondary address requests, approval is based on route logistics and the location of the requested stop. If you need to add or update a transportation address, please complete a Transportation Alternate Address Change Form. Forms are available: On the Clio Area Schools website In the Transportation Office By email upon request Please allow five (5) business days for transportation address changes to be processed. To ensure transportation arrangements are in place for the first day of school, completed forms must be received by Monday, August 17, 2026. Forms received after August 17 will be processed within five (5) business days, but may not be reflected in transportation arrangements for the first day of school.   Completed forms may be returned to the Transportation Office or emailed to mlewicki@clioschools.org. If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 810-591-2693. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership as we work to provide safe, efficient transportation for all Clio Area Schools students. Sincerely, Melissa Lewicki Transportation Supervisor Clio Area Schools

📱 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.
