On Monday, we kicked off the week by celebrating our incredible coaches. We’re so grateful for our dedicated PE coaches, Coach Halligan and Coach Lopez, as well as our amazing academic coaches: Stephanie Moreno (Reading & Language Arts), Yasmin Gonzalez (Math & Science), and Tara Chandler (ESL.) Thank you for all you do to support our students and staff!
Students and teachers wrapped up the first nine weeks strong, showing continued focus, effort, and perseverance. We’re proud of their hard work and commitment to success.
Now it's time to enjoy a well-deserved Fall Break, and a glorious four-day weekend to rest and recharge!
Have a wonderful break, and we’ll see you back next week, ready to kick off the second nine weeks!

Attached you will find a copy of the State of Texas 2022-23 School Report Card for Meyer Elementary. This report is required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), College, Career, and Military Readiness, as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.
Due to judicial proceedings, the release of the 2023 School Report Card was significantly delayed. Alongside our 2023 School Report Card, we encourage you to visit TXschools.gov to learn more about our school’s performance in the 2024-2025 school year.
The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and much of the technical language used is defined and described in the enclosed “2023 School Report Card Definitions.” The report for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.
State law requires that the School Report Card display information about the state, the district, and the school. Where possible, the information must be reported by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of the students and must include at least two years of results.
A more complete report about Meyer Elementary, the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), is available by contacting my office or can be accessed online at Texas Academic Report Cards.

Kindergarten families, please be on the lookout for your child’s CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) results, which will be sent home on Tuesday, October 14.
The results provide insight into your child’s learning strengths and help guide instruction. If you have any questions after reviewing the report, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher.

Report cards for the first nine weeks will be available in Skyward Family Access starting October 16. We encourage all parents to review the report card carefully with their student, celebrate successes and take note of any areas that may need improvement.
If you have questions about your child’s grades or would like to schedule a conference, please don’t hesitate to contact their teacher. Contact forms for all Meyer teachers can be found by pushing the button below.
We're here to partner with you in your child’s success!

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!

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!

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.
