Dear Huntsville ISD Families and Staff,
HISD has been monitoring the inclement weather forecasts for our immediate area. Due to the winter storm bringing sub freezing temperatures along with expected snow and icy/hazardous road conditions, we have decided to CLOSE school Tuesday, January 21, 2025. All extracurricular activities are also canceled.
At this time, no decisions have been made about Wednesday. We will continue to monitor the conditions and communicate our plans to families as soon as a decision can be made on Tuesday. All updates will be sent to parents using the mass notification system as well as posted on the district website (www.huntsville-isd.org) and social media pages.
Students are encouraged to stay indoors due to extreme temperatures. It is unusual for the Huntsville/Walker County community to experience temperatures this cold.
