Over the next few days, we'll post key reminders to help us start the 2026-2027 school year strong!
STUDENT REGISTRATION
Huntsville ISD Online Student Registration is OPEN for all NEW and RETURNING students for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. We encourage families to log into your parent portal account in the Skyward Family Access Center to complete the entire registration process as soon as possible to ensure a smooth start.
Visit our website for details and step-by-step instructions @ https://www.huntsville-isd.org/registration
SOCIOECONOMIC FORM
Lunch Income Survey - We must have a completed Socioeconomic form submitted for each student. The form is located in the Skyward Family Access Center and the tab icon for the form is labeled “2026-2027 SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION FORM”.
TRANSPORTATION REGISTRATION
ALL Students - NEW & RETURNING - MUST Register to Ride the School Bus before being able to ride. Bus Registration can also be found in the Skyward Family Access Center.
*The Student Registration process for school must be completed for the 2026-2027 (New or Returning) before completing the 2026-2027 Bus Registration Form.
The deadline to guarantee bus transportation for the first day of school (August 1) has now passed.
However, you can still register your student to ride the bus!
Any bus registrations submitted now will be processed after the first week of school. Once your registration is approved, your student will be cleared to ride.
NOTE: Parents, if you have already completed the Student Registration process but not the Socioeconomic Form or the Transportation Registration, please log back into your Skyward Family Access Center parent portal and click on the appropriate icons to complete the other required registration steps.
The day before the big event, the Huntsville High School Choir, Grenadier Guard, Hornet Military Marching Band and Huntsville High School Cheer Team were already hard at work at dress rehearsal—practicing, preparing and making sure they were ready to bring their best.
We are so grateful for the time, talent and Hornet pride these students shared with our Huntsville ISD staff and faculty. They helped make Convocation an incredible celebration, and we appreciate every one of them!
Great performances don’t just happen—they’re built through preparation. And our Hornets were ready— thank you!!

Beginning this school year, UIL requires schools to follow Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) protocols for outdoor athletic and marching band activities. WBGT looks beyond the temperature alone, taking humidity, wind and sun exposure into account to help determine safe conditions for outdoor activity.
That may mean adjusting practice times—including taking advantage of cooler evening conditions—to help keep our students safe while still giving them the opportunity to prepare, practice and compete.
So while football may be under the lights tonight, these new heat-safety requirements apply across all UIL outdoor athletics and marching band activities.

Our employees had the opportunity to hear from Mr. Fanning—and just as importantly, he had the opportunity to hear from them.
During those visits, every employee was invited to share, anonymously or by name, their thoughts on two questions:
What is one thing Superintendent Fanning should know about Huntsville ISD?
What are you most proud of at Huntsville ISD?
And the conversation doesn’t end there. Mr. Fanning also extended an open invitation for “Face Time with Fanning”—a few minutes of one-on-one time for any employee who would like to visit with him about whatever is on their mind.
A new era begins by listening, learning and building relationships—and we’re excited to keep the conversation going!

Our first Convocation with Superintendent Travis Fanning was full of energy, laughter and plenty of Hornet pride. It was great having the whole Huntsville ISD team together again, and our student performers absolutely brought it!
The competition for the Hornet Spirit Stick was fierce, but after a tiebreaker, Scott Johnson Elementary came out on top!
We’re excited for what’s ahead and ready to get to work.
