Clio High School

Clio Area Schools has been participating in Michigan’s Promoting Positive School Climate (PPSC) project to enhance positive behavior supports in our school. Your input is important to us!

The data collected from the survey will be used to identify perceptions of school climate issues

within our school. Responses are housed securely and in an anonymous format with the

University of Oregon Technical Assistance Center projects for evaluation research purposes. All

evaluation research projects are in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act,

(343 CFR 99.31 (6)) and human subjects regulations (Protection of Human Subjects 45 CFR 46).

Clio Community Education is offering exciting classes to the community, which offer a wonderful blend of physical activity and creative expression! Please consider joining our classes by registering here.

Please complete the Spring Community Education Interest Survey, linked here, to express your interest for programs that could be offered moving forward.

The counseling department runs a couple different student groups. Students are asked if they would like to join the groups based upon their survey responses or parent requests. At this time we are offering a grief group, anxiety coping skills group, and a time management skills group. If you think your student could benefit from one of these groups please contact our counseling secretary, Mrs. Collar at (810) 591-1367 to let her know or contact your student's counselor.

For students who are behind in credits we also offer 7th hour classes to recover those classes. Students must be passing all 6 of their current classes in order to take a 7th hour class. There is open enrollment for 7th hour, meaning as soon as students are passing all of their classes, they can start 7th hour. There is no deadline to get started. Applications for 7th hour classes are still available in the counseling office.

The counselors have started meeting with seniors to talk to them about their post-graduation plans. Our goal is to make sure each student knows how to achieve those plans regardless of what they might be. If your student hasn't met with their counselor yet, have them reach out to create an appointment.

As we approach the end of the first marking period we are about 25% of the way through the school year. Shown the the right are current grades of students in each grade. If your student is struggling academically there are many interventions we have available to help them be successful.

• Seminar is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays where students can get passes to teachers they need additional help in or if they need to make up assessments.
• After School Tutoring is available Monday-Thursday from 2:30-4:30 in the media center. There is a late bus available for students who live in district to utilize.
• NHS Students are available to tutor students on a 1:1 basis during seminar. Students can get a pass from Mrs. Wakefield to organize a tutoring session.
• We have 7th hour available for students to recover credit for graduation. More info on the Counseling Corner above.

In September we recognized students with high attendance with a seminar challenge. Our next challenge will come in the month of November for students showing academic excellence. Students will receive more information about this reward next week.

At CHS we utilize two systems that work together to support students to be successful. In our PPSC (Promoting Positive School Culture) and our MTSS (Multi Tiered Systems of Support) teams we have processes where academic, attendance and discipline data are considered to identify students in need of additional interventions. The data shown outlines the discipline referrals from this year to date as a reference. In this chart the largest percentage of referrals with 39% of the total comes from student disruptions, disrespect and defiance. With consistent expectations for our students to be correct their behavior we can create a culture where students portray the values we want to see from all Mustangs. We value students who are Positive, Respectful, Independent, Dependable an Engaged and our expectations align with those values.
