Important: we're changing newsletter providers
Starting next week, Meridian's newsletters will switch from Constant Contact to Catapult Connect. Catapult is already our text messaging and emergency management platform. Update your Meridian contact information in your email and on your phone so that it doesn't get lost in spam/junk!
New email: [email protected] (newsletters, special events, and district information)
CatapultConnect text message: 96064 (event updates, emergency notifications, important updates)
Important: If you unsubscribe to emails or text messages, you will also no longer receive our emergency communications. You can opt back in here.

School supplies
Grades K-5: The deadline to order supplies has passed. If you missed the deadline, please email [email protected].
Primary volunteers needed. Please sign up to help sort and deliver boxes of primary school supplies to classrooms.
Grades 6-12: Purchase your supplies at any time. There's no one-stop online option like with primary because of secondary class choices. Grades 6-8 – Grades 9-10 – Grades 11-12
New, secondary laptops or devices: 6th and 7th graders must use a school-provided device in class. 8th-12th graders will need to bring their own device to school each day. Read more about Technology Requirements for 8-12.
Health reminders
Reminder for 7th grade: The State of Texas requires incoming 7th grade students to have their Tdap and Meningococcal vaccinations before the first day of school.
Sports physicals: Update your Athletics Physical forms this summer if you plan to play sports in 24-25.
Primary Fast Lane application due August 6
Vehicles picking up four or more students in the afternoons may apply for Fast Lane, which lines up on Meridian Lane off of the service road. Fill out the Fast Lane Application no later than August 6. If awarded a spot, you will receive a notification from [email protected].
Wondering about morning traffic? Any vehicle with three or more students may use the Green lane. Green lane is more lightly used and gives families plenty of time to unload. There is no need to register for the morning carline. Learn more about Carline.
