This Week at Meyer:

We have so much to celebrate at Meyer this week! We’re proud to announce that Meyer has been named a Lone Star Blue Ribbon School, a tremendous honor that reflects the hard work, dedication, and excellence of our students, staff, and community.

Our kindergartners began their CogAT testing and did a fantastic job showing focus and perseverance. All Kindergarten students will be sent home with the results of their CogAT testing next week.

On Wednesday, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with a special dress-up day. Students and staff proudly showcased their cultural pride and creativity.

Throughout the week, classrooms were filled with exciting lessons and hands-on learning, both with our dedicated teachers and our incredible Innovative Day staff. Thank you for your continued support!

Important Reminders for a Smooth Start to the School Year

As we kick off the new school year, please take note of the following reminders to help keep our mornings and afternoons running safely and efficiently:

  • Breakfast: Breakfast closes at 7:40 a.m. This gives students a chance to get to class before the tardy bell rings.
  • Start Time: School begins promptly at 7:45 AM. Students must be in their classrooms by 7:45, not just arriving at the building.
  • Morning Drop-Off: Please do not park in the bus loading/unloading zone between 7:10 and 7:45 AM. Instead, park in a designated space or use the car rider drop-off line.
  • Car Rider Doors: The car rider doors will close at 7:45 AM. After that time, students will need to be walked in through the front office and will be marked tardy.
  • Early Student Check-Out and Transportation Changes: All early student check-outs and transportation changes must be made by 2:00 p.m.
  • Dismissal: Dismissal begins at 3:10 PM. All students must be picked up by 3:30 PM.
  • Lunch Visits: Families may begin having lunch with students starting the week of August 25, 2025.

Thank you for your help in making sure our students have a safe and successful start each day!
 

No Stopping Zone at Front of School

For the safety of all students and staff, please do not park or stop at the curb/fire lane in front of the school. This area must remain clear at all times for emergency vehicles and safe student drop-off and pick-up.

If you need to visit the office, please park in the designated parking lot at the front of the school. Parking or stopping at the curb may result in your vehicle being towed.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
No parking sign
 

Rainy Day Dismissal Procedures

When weather radar indicates rain at dismissal time, we will send out a Rainy Day Dismissal alert through ParentSquare. On these days, parents of walkers must join the car rider line to pick up their students for safety reasons.

If you're a parent of a walker and do not have a car rider sign, please stop by the front office to pick one up. Alternatively, if you’d prefer the sign sent home with your student, email Susan Evans at sbevans@lcisd.org to request one.

Child walking in the rain.
