ID Badges
Every student is required to wear an ID badge daily. This is a district mandated policy. The badges will be provided to scholars during their first week. They must be kept on at all times, so please start informing your child of this now. These same badges will be used to enter and exit the bus daily.
School Hours & Daily Schedule
Doors open at 7:35 AM with instruction beginning promptly at 8:05 AM
Dismissal is at 3:25 PM
Building Operations
Our campus opens daily at 7:35 AM. For safety reasons, students may not be dropped off or exit their vehicles before this time. Please help us keep everyone safe by ensuring students are supervised until the building opens.
Students needing to leave early must be picked up before 2:45 P.M. Please bring your photo ID to the front office for early dismissal. For safety reasons, no early pickups will be allowed after 2:45 P.M.
Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-up
The safety of our students is of the utmost importance to all teachers and staff members at Meyer Elementary. Please read the drop-off and pick-up procedures listed below. In order to ensure our student’s safety, it is critical that we all work together to follow the guidelines listed below. When dropping off or picking up your child, please make sure that you are mindful of no parking areas and designated walker areas.
- The morning and afternoon drop off/ pick-up area for car riders is located at the side of Meyer Elementary. All car rider traffic must go through the car rider line. You will be issued a Meyer Elementary car rider sign, at Meet the Teacher, to place in your window. Please ensure you have this sign daily for pickup. If someone other than the normal pickup person needs to pick up your child, please DO NOT give them your car rider tag. For student safety, they will need to come to the front office and verify they have permission to pick up the child.
- Students MAY NOT be dropped off before 7:35am. Students MUST remain in the car until the doors open at 7:35 a.m. If you need to drop your student off before 7:35 a.m., Koala Kare is available in the morning.
- During afternoon pickup, do not get out of your vehicle as you are waiting in the car rider line. This causes traffic to become congested in the line and it is not safe for students. Please remember scholars will be brought to the front office between 3:45 and 3:50. Parents, you will then be expected to come to the front office with your car rider tag or your I.D. ALL STUDENTS MUST BE PICKED UP BY 4:00 p.m.
- SISD buses and Licensed Day Care buses will load and unload students in the parking lot and the front of the building. Cars may not drop off or pick up students in this area.
- Walkers - Parents will need to come to the side of the building, by the cafeteria, for walkers. Parents may wait for their children on the sidewalk and escort them home or they may travel with their older sibling. Parents will have to present walker tags with their child’s name on it for a scholar to be released. If you come to pick up your child without a tag, you will have to present your identification at the front office. Walker tags will be provided at Meet-the Teacher.
- Parents of Pre-K and Kindergarten scholars must have a code to receive your child from the bus. This code will be given to you by your child’s homeroom teacher. The code is the last 5 digits of your student's ID number. The bus drivers will not release your child without the proper number being given. If an older sibling will be taking the child from the bus, make sure they know the code.
Primary Students Pre-K, KG, 1st
Please ensure your child has a complete change of clothes in their backpack each day. Having an extra set of clothing available helps us quickly and comfortably address any unexpected spills or accidents.

Every day in school is an opportunity to learn, connect and grow. When students are present, they build stronger relationships, stay engaged in their learning and take another step toward reaching their goals.

Being here. Being engaged. Being part of your school community. It all matters.
Let’s make every school day count!
