Parents and students are encouraged to walk to school on Wednesday October 4th for International Walk to School Day. For those that are unable to participate in this, we encourage you to walk as a family anytime on Wednesday. McClure will continue to promote Walk to School Wednesday all year to encourage healthy habits for our Marshal families. Let’s Get Moving Marshals!

For the month of October, 1st and 3rd Grade, will be hosting a service project for Collin County Animal Shelter. If you have a 1st or 3rd grade Marshal and would like to donate to the service project please send in one of the below items during the month of October.

This year we are committed to helping our Marshals learn about serving the community we live in. Grade levels will buddy up throughout the year to choose what service project they will complete.

While it will be hosted by certain grade levels, your family is welcome to make donations to any organizations you would like to.

Breakfast will be served from 7:30am-7:50am at McClure daily. If your student arrives later than these hours, they will go straight to class and begin their day. Please get your Marshal to school during breakfast hours if they are wanting to eat breakfast at school.

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.
