WEATHER UPDATE #3 @ 9:30 PM | Huntsville ISD Monitoring Tropical Storm Edouard
Huntsville ISD continues to closely monitor the impact of Tropical Storm Edouard on our immediate area. Based on current information, we expect normal school operations for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
The HISD Transportation Department will evaluate local road conditions overnight and early in the morning. Should conditions warrant a change at that time, we will send communication no later than 5:30 AM.
Updates will also be shared on the district website and social media pages. Please take all necessary precautions to keep your family safe, especially if you reside in areas prone to flooding.
In the Front: Students will begin to be dropped off where the sidewalk begins and ends at the end of the front awning. There will be signs indicating where drop off begins and where to pull up to. Please do not wait to drop off students at the door. If your student is dropped off prior to the exterior stairs going up to the cafeteria, they need to go up said stairs and into the cafeteria doors. If they are dropped off after the exterior stairs, they will go in the front doors and up to the cafeteria/sixth grade floor.
In the Back: There will be two lanes with signage indicating both lanes. There will be a lane on the right for all student drop off. There is to be no waiting until the band hall/end of the lane to drop off. All students need to begin being dropped off once they are pulled up to the curb (including band). Staff and SRO will be posted outside receiving students at the start of the drop off line. There will be 3 points of entry when dropped off (one closer to the 8th grade wing, the back Commons door, and the bandhall gates). The closer you get to the awning there will be a blocked off section of road for students to walk on, and be safely dropped off at, so that they are not being dropped off on a non sidewalk area. The second lane closer to the parking spots will be for teachers only. IMPORTANT: This second lane is not to be used as a drop off zone only parking!
For the safety of all students and staff, please drop off students ONLY in the designated Drop-Off Zones. Following the traffic flow and posted directions will help keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient for everyone.
Thank you for helping us make student arrival and dismissal a smooth experience!
