HISD Online for the First Six Weeks of School

HISD has announced that all HISD students will begin the 2020-2021 school year virtually on September 8, 2020. Virtual instruction for all students will continue for six weeks through Friday, October 16, 2020.

The decision to begin the 2020-2021 school year virtually and delay the start of the school year for two weeks was due to the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases in the area.

Face-to-face instruction will begin on Monday, October 19, 2020. However, parents will have the option to opt out of face-to-face instruction entirely for the fall semester and 2020-2021 school year.

Starting on August 24, parents will receive a phone call from the district, asking them to indicate their choice for the 2020-2021 school year. After each six-week grading period, parents may change their selection.
