Huntsville ISD Families and Staff, HISD has been monitoring the inclement weather forecasts and flooding conditions in our immediate area. At this time, we plan to have school as normal tomorrow, Monday, May 6, 2024. We urge families who reside in low lying areas to take all necessary precautions to keep your family safe. We will continue to monitor the conditions throughout today and tonight, and if a change is necessary we will communicate to families as soon as a decision can be made. In the event we must delay or cancel school we will send a notification to families by 5:30 AM; otherwise, expect regular operations. Thank you, Huntsville ISD

Huntsville ISD Families, After careful consideration and consultation with local emergency management officials, HISD will continue closure through Friday, May 3. Dangerous road conditions are expected to continue into tomorrow, with more rain likely overnight and many roads outside of town still flooded as of 5:30 PM today. Additionally, our creeks, tributaries and rivers are still rising within our boundaries. While we like to wait as long as possible to make this decision so it can be based on real time information, we also realize the more notice we give families and staff, the better it is for their planning. We fully expect to be back to normal operations by Monday, and any changes or updates will be sent through our mass notification system, posted on the district website (www.huntsville-isd.org) and our official social media pages, and will be communicated to media outlets. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have suffered loss or damage during this weather event. Please stay safe, Huntsville ISD
