Henderson ISD

From Interim Superintendent Jim Dunlap - A great big shout out of appreciation to these guys for their exceptional dedication, time and extra efforts in monitoring weather forecasts, traveling roads, and ensuring our buildings were ready for instruction during recent weather events. Their extraordinary loyalty to HISD began as early as 12:01 AM on the past two weather events and continued through the dark, cold morning hours on lonely back roads. The information they gathered was crucial in making informed decisions about whether to close school, delay school, or continue as usual. Their work begins as part of this great HISD team while most everyone else is tucked into their warm beds. And like all heroes, “someone has to do it” and what they do is critical to keeping students, staff, and families safe. We owe them a huge thank you. So, when you see them, let them know how much you appreciate their part in keeping the “Tradition of Excellence” in Henderson ISD. (Photo: Gary Don Davis, Kyle Gatlin, Terry Everitt, David Chenault)

Delayed Start Announcement for Today Henderson ISD will have a delayed start today, with classes beginning at 10:00 a.m. Buses will run two hours later than their regular schedule. While most roads in the district are in good condition, there are icy spots in the southernmost areas, especially on elevated surfaces, which could be hazardous this morning. This delayed start will allow extra time for students and staff traveling in the affected areas. We will continue to monitor the roads in hopes of conditions improving through the morning. Thank you for your understanding, and please exercise caution on the roads. Stay safe and warm!

Dear HISD Families, Sick season is officially here, and we need your help to keep our students and staff as healthy as possible. The flu and other illnesses are circulating, and we ask if your child is sick, please keep them at home until they are 24 hours fever-free, vomit-free, or diarrhea-free. It is important that students do not attend school while sick, even if they have been given medication like Tylenol, Advil, Imodium, etc. Sending a sick child to school can contribute to the spread of illness. Thank you for your support in keeping HISD healthy!

We are monitoring the forecast for potential wintry weather over the next couple of days. Our commitment to the safety of our students, staff, and families is at the forefront of every decision we make. If conditions warrant, we will announce any changes to the school schedule, such as closures or delays, by 5:00 a.m. each morning. This timeline helps ensure families and staff can plan accordingly. When making these decisions, we consider several factors, including road conditions in Henderson as well as the nearly 1,000 miles of county roads our buses travel each day. Even if the roads in town are clear, some of our bridges and less traveled county roads could be icy, blocked by downed trees or otherwise unsafe for travel. To make informed decisions, we work closely with local law enforcement, road crews, and the National Weather Service to assess current and forecasted conditions. We will communicate updates through our usual channels, including Facebook, email, text, the HISD website, and other social media. Please ensure your contact information is up-to-date in Skyward to receive timely notifications. Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our school community.
