One of the easiest ways you can support your child and every student in Clio Area Schools is by completing the 2026-2027 Educational Benefit Form.
⏱️ It takes less than 5 minutes
✅ Only one form per family
🎯 Our goal is 100% family participation
Even if you don't think your family qualifies for benefits, please complete the form. Every completed form matters.
While this form is no longer used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, it plays a critical role in helping Clio Area Schools receive funding that supports our students through:
📚 Reading and math intervention programs
👩🏫 Title and at-risk educational funding
🎒 School supplies and school fee assistance
🚌 Field trip support
🥫 Food assistance programs
🎁 Holiday support programs
🌐 Potential household internet and cable assistance
When more families complete the Educational Benefit Form, our district is better positioned to provide these valuable programs and services for students.
Complete your form today using one of these easy options:
💻 Online (Recommended)
Visit: clio.familyportal.cloud
Click "Apply for Benefits” and follow the prompts.

❤️ Thank you for helping us reach our goal of 100% participation. Just five minutes of your time helps ensure Clio Area Schools can continue providing outstanding opportunities and support for every student.
