Make it a Great Week Marshal Families!

• McClure Spirit Wear! Wear your favorite school spirit shirt.

Each year, our students have the opportunity to purchase a McClure Grade Level Shirt. Each grade level has a different color shirt. This year, these shirts will be purchased online and delivered to the school. Order your shirt online here.

The deadline is firm and the Groggy Dog site will close off orders Sunday, September 8th at 11:59 pm CDT. At this time, you will be unable to order a shirt. We will not have additional shirts available for purchase.

Students will hear Coach promote wearing grade level spirit shirts on Fridays, at Stampedes, and for Field Day among other school events where the color identifying shirt is handy (like field trips & pep rallies).

The story of International Dot Day begins with a children's storybook called "The Dot." It was written and illustrated by Massachusetts author Peter H. Reynolds and released on September 15, 2003.

The book tells the story of Vashti, a little girl who is struggling with her art. Vashti's art teacher comes to the rescue, and the little girl in the picture book learns to believe in herself and her abilities and discovers that even a simple dot can be a work of art.

The now world-famous book encourages kids to embrace their creativity and to never give up on their dreams. Reynolds' writing literally encourages kids to "make their mark" on the world!

Pre-Order your PTO McClure Spirit Wear by September 6th!

Campaigning will be held September 9th-13th. We recommend making 4-5 posters that will be hung throughout the school.

Parents can accompany their child to hang posters on the morning of September 9th from 7:30-7:50 am with a valid government ID. Students are required to bring their own materials for hanging posters. Please limit to stapling on the upper portion of the walls, and tape on the lower portion. Please do not use duct tape. Voting will take place in each homeroom on the morning of September 13th and winners will be announced by their teacher by the end of the day.

We understand that many parents want their child to carry cell phones or smart watches for safety reasons. Your child may bring a cell phone and/or smartwatch to school, however it may not be used during the day per the Student Handbook and Acceptable Use Policy unless given permission by the teacher. Cell phones must be kept in the student's backpack during the school day. Smart Watches must be turned off during the school day and may be worn if off or kept in their backpacks.

Please talk with your student about this prior to allowing them to wear a smartwatch or bringing a cell phone to school.

McKinney ISD’s Student Handbook

Possession and Use of Personal Telecommunications Devices, Including Cell Phones, and Other Electronic Devices (See Appendix I) The district permits students to possess personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes. [See Textbooks, Electronic Textbooks, Technological Equipment, and Other Instructional Materials

Please ensure that your student is following the MISD Student Dress Code daily. If a student comes to school in something that does not meet the MISD dress code, a change of clothing will be needed.

Dad's Club VOLUNTEER

The McClure Dads Organization is a group of Dads that support many School and PTO functions, as well as several specific functions hosted by the Dads.

Our Mission Statement is to inspire children by being present, setting a positive example, and being supportive of education.

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 24-25 school year. For safety reasons the color of the tag changes yearly. Staff members will only release your student with the current year's dismissal tag.

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

If you are a returning Marshal, please note that our walk alone students will be dismissed through a different door this year and will be walked by a staff member to the stop sign at the crosswalk for 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 critical ingredient in the safe school recipe is the uniform classroom response to any incident. Weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety are scenarios that are planned and trained for by all McKinney ISD schools and District Administration and staff. Historically, schools have taken this scenario-based approach to respond to hazards and threats. Each McKinney ISD classroom is furnished with the Standard Response Protocol poster that provides teachers with readily accessible response procedures and provides information during a crisis event. The attached handout explains Standard Response Protocol that is taught to students, faculty and staff.

Please this link to view the Standard Response Protocol parent information.

As a service to McKinney ISD students and families, the district provides the Community Folder for school related, non-school related, and non-profit organizations. Electronic communication has become standard and is preferred by many parents; the schools are sharing more and more information via email as a convenience to parents. This also cuts back on paper coming home in folders. Information posted and accepted must be youth-oriented and will be reviewed and approved by the Communications Department. Updates will be posted often, so we ask that you check back for the latest opportunities and information from our community.

To view the latest information posted in the Community Folder- CLICK HERE
