Welcome to McClure Elementary

We had the best first three days with our students back on campus. We really have the BEST students in MISD and we loved seeing them this week. Please take the time to read through this newsletter weekly. I include a lot of important school information each week. We will still be a closed campus to visitors/volunteers this week.

Make sure that you have read through our back to school information from the principals for the 23-24 school year. It is filled with important Information that is useful throughout the year.

Grade levels will have a grade level remind this year to send out reminders throughout the year. Reach out to your teacher if you have not signed up.

If you have a 4th or 5th grade student, be on the look out for a special Marty's Memo tomorrow for information on gaining access to your Spring STAAR 2023 results.

Have a great week Marshals!

Providing a safe and secure environment for students, staff, and visitors is among our highest priorities. Our school district has undertaken a number of necessary steps toward preparing staff and students for emergencies, securing facilities, and working cooperatively with law enforcement/emergency services.

Click this link to learn more about McKinney ISD's Safe and Secure programs and initiatives.

The handout linked explains the Standard Response Protocol that staff and students follow and practice throughout the year. Please use this link to view the Standard Response Protocol handout.

It is imperative that we all follow our arrival and dismissal procedures in order to keep all of our Marshals safe. Your student may be dropped off through carpool lane or parent walk up in the morning. If you are walking your student up to the front entrance, you will need to park in the South parking, cross the crosswalk, and then follow the sidewalk up to the front doors. Please DO NOT use the handicapped parking spots if you do not have proper permitting. Please follow the traffic flows on the maps below in order to allow our traffic to flow smoothly.

If you are picking your student up in carpool or parent walk-up, please make sure you have your McClure student pick up number with you for the 23-24 school year. For safety reasons the color of the tag changes yearly. Staff members will only release your student with the current year's tag.

Please use the correct location for your student's dismissal.

Please DO NOT park in the bus lane at any time during the day. This includes arrival and dismissal. The fire lane is for Daycare, School Buses and emergency vehicles only!

A valid state or government issued photo ID must be presented each time you visit, volunteer, or pick up a student. Please be prepared with your ID upon arrival. We are not allowed to accept a photo of your government issued photo ID.
