Hello Maverick Nation!

McClure Campus – reminder

McClure is a closed campus. If students ride the school bus to McClure they are considered “at school” and should report directly to the building after getting off the bus. Please speak to your student to remind them that they should not go off campus to local stores for snacks once they’ve arrived at McClure or when they are getting on the bus after school. We prioritize student safety but cannot ensure their safety if they leave campus.

Voting is February 11, 2025. Two levies are on the ballot which replace expiring levies previously approved by Seattle residents. Please learn more here:  Link to SPS Educational and Building Capital Levies
