Huntsville ISD

Huntsville ISD will be closed on Friday, May 3, 2024.

Shepherd ISD

Due to road closures, traffic rerouting, neighborhood evacuations, and forecasted storms tomorrow, Shepherd ISD will be closed Friday, May 3rd. Additionally, because we had to close school today, we will need to make up that day on Friday, May 17th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. It is possible that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) will allow affected areas to waive additional days taken in the future. We will provide more information on makeup days or hours as it becomes available. Please stay tuned to the SISD Facebook page in addition to the San Jacinto County OEM Facebook page for road closure information and updates on the weather situation. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We hope everyone stays safe and dry during this time.

Conroe ISD

Due to today's heavy rains and tomorrow's unpredictable forecast and conditions, Conroe ISD campuses will be closed on Friday, May 3.

Magnolia ISD

Magnolia ISD will be closed on Friday, May 3, due to more rainfall expected this evening. Additional updates will be shared on the district website, social media, and through our mass notification system. Stay safe.

Humble ISD

Humble ISD will be closed on Friday, May 3, 2024. Harris County has asked multiple communities in our school district to evacuate. As you know, heavy rainfall caused Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston, Lake Houston, both the East and West Forks of the San Jacinto River, and other creeks to rise. Additionally, authorities are planning a massive release of water from both Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston, which will bring the East and the West forks of the San Jacinto River to major flood stages – impacting many of our staff, students, families, and community members. While we had planned to wait for an 8 p.m. weather and flooding update from Houston Flood Control, inundation maps have made any predicted rainfall for tomorrow morning moot. The release of Lakes Livingston and Conroe will give us more water than we can safely handle, so there will be no school Friday, May 3, 2024. Our 2023-2024 academic calendar included ample state-required instructional minutes to accommodate such a weather-related closure, eliminating the need for a make-up day.
