School Supplies


Grades K – 5: to find out how to order your primary supplies please read the email that was sent in May. Supply kits must be ordered by June 30, 2023. The link includes alternative payment options. Ordering takes just a few minutes!

 

Grades 6 – 12: may purchase supplies at any time. Because students register for a variety of classes in secondary, there's not an online kit option like in primary.

 

Grades 6 – 8

Grades 9 – 10

Grades 11 – 12

 

 

Uniform Guide


As you prepare for the next school year, please review the Uniform Guide before purchasing uniforms. RockSports, in Round Rock, supplies spirit wear all year long. Visit our Spirit Wear Store to see what styles are available.

 

Why do we have a uniform policy at Meridian?

The dress code enhances the learning environment, minimizes distraction, and reduces peer pressure surrounding appearance. It fosters a sense of community and allows students to focus on academics.

 

 

Back to school health reminders


Take time this summer to get immunization records updated and sports physicals done. 

 

As a Texas State requirement students must receive vaccinations for Tdap and Meningococcal before beginning 7th grade. This deadline must be met, unless an original copy of an immunization exemption has been filed with the school in accordance with Texas Education Code, Health and Safety Chapter, Section 38.0001. 

 

Attention all secondary students: Schedules for 23-24 cannot be released if immunizations are not cleared with the nurse.

 

If you have not already done so during registration please email [email protected] with any updated immunization records.

 

Sports physicals: over the summer get your Athletics Physical forms updated if you plan on playing sports in 23-24.

Volunteer Interest Survey


2023-2024 School Year

 

We encourage all of our parents and guardians to volunteer at least 20 hours during the school year. As we plan for next year, we want to know where your interests and availability lie to better target our volunteer opportunities. We will use this survey to follow up with all volunteers based on the information you provide.

 

Please complete this 2-minute survey to help us understand how you would like to be involved in our community during the 2023-2024 school year.
