SEATTLE -- High school students and community members continue demonstrations in Seattle one day after a grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

A march organized by the NAACP and United Black Clergy began around noon in the city\'s Central District and travel to Federal Courthouse downtown.

The group is marching to demonstrate their discontent with the grand jury decision in Ferguson.

Drivers were warned to expect delays as the march moved through the city. Seattle Department of Transportation said the planned march route included westbound East Union Street, northbound Broadway, westbound Pine Street, and northbound 8th Avenue to Stewart Street.

Students from Garfield High School joined the march as it made its way from the Central District towards downtown. Seattle Schools reported that approximately 1,000 students had walked out of class and would receive and unexcused absence.

Protesters chanted, "Hands up, don\'t shoot," as they walked through the streets of Seattle.

Hundreds of students from Roosevelt High School marched from campus to Red Square at the University of Washington.

The group\'s message: Racial profiling needs to stop, regardless of whether the ruling was correct in Michael Brown\'s death.

The students walked out of class around 10:15 a.m., about halfway through third period. According to Seattle Schools, 300 students walked to UW.

The principal said over announcements that the school was not endorsing the walk out and students who left would be marked absent.

The main organizers of the march are members of the Black Student Union who used text messages to stage the event.

Another walk out was planned at Cleveland High School at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. It is unknown how many students participated.

Seattle Public Schools also reported that 50 students from Rainier Beach and 17 students from South Lake had gathered to protest near Rainier and Cloverdale.

According to Seattle police, a group of students caused damage in a grocery store at Rainier Avenue and Henderson Street. The store shut down for about an hour to clean up, but the owner said there was no major damage. The store will have a security guard on the premises for the next several days.

Seattle Public Schools sent the following letter home to parents in response to the student protests:

We want to acknowledge the participation of some of our students in peaceful protests today related to the decision by a grand jury not to indict a police officer in the shooting of an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. About 1,000 students walked out of Garfield High School, and about 300 students walked out of Roosevelt High school today to peacefully protest the decision. Seattle police were made aware of the walkouts and have accompanied the students.

We know that our students are personalizing this issue and experiencing a broad range of emotions, and we want to honor their voices. These walkouts, however, are not sanctioned by Seattle Public Schools, and safety is a concern. Students have the right to demonstrate peacefully but not to create a disturbance. School administrators may choose to issue unexcused absences if students do not provide parent or guardian permission.

In advance of the grand jury announcement Monday, Seattle Public Schools posted guidelines for teachers and administrators to help students navigate this emotional issue. Click HERE to read that message.

Please know that we continue to monitor this situation with our students.
