We appreciate our School Resource Officers today and Every Day!
Here's the latest Wisdom Wednesday message from our SRO:
"Good Morning, Clio Area Schools!
Welcome back from a well-deserved break! It’s been a year since we last connected, and I wanted to take a moment to talk about the role of a School Resource Officer (SRO) and the importance of safety on our campus.
An SRO is a sworn law enforcement officer (LEO) assigned to work in partnership with the school and the community. They are not just there to enforce the law but also to help create a safer learning environment and build connections with students, staff, and parents.
The role of the SRO can be broken down into three main areas (LEO TRIAD - National Association of School Resource Officers):
Law Enforcement Officer: As a sworn police officer, the SRO helps maintain a safe environment and ensures that school policies are followed.
Public Safety Educator: The SRO educates students and staff about various safety topics, including ALICE training (for responding to emergencies), safe driving, the dangers of vapor products, and more.
Informal Counselor/Mentor: The SRO offers a supportive, outside perspective that students can turn to for advice or guidance. They can also recommend services and resources that may be helpful.
I’ll be taking a break from Wisdom Wednesday for a while to stay up to date on school safety topics, ongoing training, and my law enforcement work. However, please remember that you can always reach out to me by email or in person if you ever need to talk! I also encourage you to send any questions you want answered in future Wisdom Wednesday topics (when I resume).
Now, I’d like to share a few important safety reminders from our staff:
All classroom doors must be closed during instructional time.
Classroom doors will remain locked at all times.
Classroom door window coverings should be in the "up" position (You should be able to see who you're opening the door for).
Exterior doors should never be propped open.
Staff will be present in the hallways during passing periods and will assist with supervision at the close of each school day.
Note that some of the above steps are more for staff, but as a student, you can always do your part to help keep everyone safe. If you see an exit door propped open, let a staff member know!
Remember, safety is a community effort. It involves everyone—students, staff, parents, and the entire school community—working together to ensure we all feel safe and supported. Safety is more than just physical protection; it also includes emotional, social, and psychological well-being.
We’re doing a great job when it comes to safety, but there’s always room for improvement. Let's continue to be proactive and supportive of one another as we work together to maintain a positive and safe school environment.
Stay safe, stay informed, and have a great rest of your day!"

Each week our Student Resource Officer, Deputy Lopez, has begun putting out Wednesday Wisdoms public service announcements. Here is the one for this week regarding avoiding car accidents with deer.
Good morning Clio Area Schools!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Did you know Genesee County is in the top ten counties for car vs deer crashes? Here's a few tips to avoid a deer crash and what to do if you can’t avoid one.
First, ALWAYS be sure you are not too tired to be driving. It is always safer to wait or call for a ride. Being drowsy while driving is just as dangerous and being under the influence as it hinders your reaction time significantly. If you’re sure you can drive safely, use your high beams (brights) and be especially vigilant at dusk and dawn. Drive the speed limit and reduce speed If you see one deer, as there’s likely to be more nearby.
If you are about to hit a deer, DO NOT swerve to avoid the collision. Swerving could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and strike another vehicle or object. Instead, apply your brakes and control your steering wheel. Also watch for debris that may be scattered during the collision (car parts, windshield, deer parts.)
Accidents happen, and it’s ok if you strike a deer by accident. Pull over to the side of the road if you can and call 911 and your insurance. Let someone you trust know where you are as well. Be prepared to answer some questions from 911: Who is calling? Where are you? Is the vehicle drivable? Are you injured? Is the deer alive? What kind of vehicle are you driving? Is there another car involved? Is your vehicle or the deer still in the roadway?
Be sure to get you, your vehicle, and everyone else out of the roadway as fast as possible. It will more than likely be low light conditions (nighttime) and passing cars will not be able to see your vehicle if your lights are broken from the impact.
Do not approach the deer. Especially if it appears to be alive. An injured deer can still cause a lot of harm with its legs.
For a great recap of all of these tips and a few more, check out the below article:
