🦅 The Eagle Wrap-Up 🦅

We kicked off the week with a student holiday on Monday. We hope you enjoyed the extra day to relax and spend time with family!

Our 2nd, 4th, and 5th graders had an exciting Innovative Day experience with a special visit from the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Students dove into the fascinating world of reptiles, exploring their characteristics, habitats, and unique adaptations through an engaging, hands-on presentation. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring science to life and spark curiosity in our young learners.

Thursday was full of adventure as well! Our 2nd graders enjoyed an exciting field trip to the Downtown Aquarium, where they explored marine life and experienced hands-on learning beyond the classroom. Meanwhile, our 5th graders visited Long Acres Ranch, where they connected learning to history and the outdoors through an engaging, real-world experience.

It was truly a great week to be a Meyer Eagle! 🦅

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!

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.
