Students & Parents

Excused Absences: State law allows excused absences for religious holy days, required court appearances, activities related to obtaining US citizenship, health care appointments, for students in the custody of the state, TAPS at a military funeral, parent/step-parent/legal guardian who is an active duty member of the uniformed services, personal illness, death/funeral of an immediate family member, or quarantine. Examples of these absences and required documentation can me found in the Elementary Student Handbook.

Documentation After an Absence: Attendance excuse notes must be received within 5 days of the absence. These notes must be signed, dated, and describe the reason for the absence. Please note that, unless the absence is for a statutorily allowed reason under compulsory attendance laws, the district is not required to excuse any absence, even is the parent provides a note explaining the absence.

5 Consecutive Days of Illness: Upon return to school, a student absent for more than 5 consecutive days because of a personal illness must bring a doctor's note verifying the illness or condition that caused the student's extended absence from school. 

Attendance notes may be sent by email but must come from a parent’s verified email account. Please include your student’s first and last name, grade level, teacher name, the date(s) your child was absent, and the reason for the absence(s.) Please email attendance notes to Doribel Ramirez at doribel.ramirez@lcisd.org.

To help ensure the safety of all students and maintain an orderly dismissal process, any changes to your child's transportation arrangements must be communicated to the Meyer office before 2:00 p.m. Changes may be submitted by sending a written note with your child or by calling the front office.

Because dismissal is a busy and carefully coordinated time of day, we are unable to accept transportation changes after 2:00 p.m. Late requests can create confusion and may prevent us from ensuring your child's transportation change is communicated accurately.

Meyer Elementary follows LCISD district dress code.

Undershirts, tank tops, spaghetti straps, blouses, or clothing that exposes cleavage or the midriff when the arms are raised may not be worn.

To minimize disruptions to instruction and ensure a safe, efficient dismissal process, students may be checked out early until 2:00 p.m. only.

Parents or guardians must report to the front office and present a valid photo ID. For student safety, only individuals listed as approved contacts in Skyward may check out a student.

Students will remain in their classrooms until the authorized adult arrives and the check-out process has been completed.

Please note that accumulated early check-out time is recorded and counted toward a student's attendance based on the amount of instructional time missed. Whenever possible, we encourage families to schedule appointments outside of the school day to maximize instructional time and support student success.
