Huntsville ISD Parents, Guardians and Staff,
Working with our local authorities, HISD continues to monitor the inclement weather forecasts. Out of an abundance of caution due to the expected weather conditions this weekend, we have decided that all Huntsville ISD campuses, facilities and district offices will be CLOSED on Monday, January 26, 2026.
With the potential for sub freezing temperatures and icy/hazardous road conditions, we feel tonight’s decision to close Monday is the safest decision for our school community at this time and it allows parents to make plans in advance. Please understand the weather may impact areas differently across our 640-square-mile school district. We encourage families to take all necessary precautions, remain weather aware, and stay safe this weekend.
We will continue to monitor and assess the conditions and make a decision about Tuesday’s operations as soon as possible. All communication will be shared using the mass notification system as well as posted on the district website (www.huntsville-isd.org) and social media pages.
Holiday Reminder - District Closed Jan 19 for MLK Day
The entire district will be CLOSED on Monday, January 19, 2026, in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday. Parents please be sure you have made alternative arrangements for any childcare that may be needed due to the school closure. Normal operations scheduled to resume on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
