January 9th - Weather Update Due to ongoing hazardous weather conditions and concern for the safety of our students, staff, and families, all Henrietta Independent School District campuses will be CLOSED on FRIDAY, January 10, 2025. Based on the best information available to us, the roads would not be safe to travel on until close to lunch time, so the decision was made to cancel school. Sub-varsity basketball has been cancelled, but we do plan to start the girls varsity basketball game at 4:30 p.m., followed immediately by the boys varsity basketball game in Henrietta. We hope you are all safe and warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, January 13th! Jaime Clark Superintendent Henrietta ISD

Be Weather Aware HISD Weather Guidelines Any time there is a concern for an inclement weather event, Henrietta ISD uses established protocols to help drive the decision-making process to alter the school day. The concern for student and staff safety always serves as the main driver when these decisions are made, and we always strive to err on the side of caution. Each weather incident is unique and will demand unique considerations. We know that when we alter the school day, it has a significant impact on families. We also want to ensure that we are making decisions that minimize any negative impact on student learning. When there is no safety concern in getting to school, we want to make sure that our students are at school. This is the balance we constantly weigh when making school closure decisions. Important Contact Information To ensure that we have the most current phone information for weather-related emergencies, please ensure your Ascender Parent Portal Family Access account is updated whenever your contact information changes ( link is HERE). Decision-Making Process During inclement weather situations, decisions to open or close schools are based on careful analysis of multiple factors, including: - Consultations with local emergency management agencies and the National Weather Service - Road conditions information from transportation staff, local public works officials, and law enforcement agencies - Amount of snow or ice accumulated and projected accumulations - Building conditions, including electricity and heat status - Parking lot and sidewalk conditions - Temperature and wind chill factors, considering students who walk to school or wait at bus stops - Weather predictions and ongoing precipitation Frequently Asked Questions Q: When is the decision made? A: We strive to make decisions by 5 a.m. or earlier on the day of the weather event. Information will be posted on our website and automated communications will begin by 5:30 a.m. If weather forecasts are certain, we may make the decision the evening before to help families plan ahead. Q: How is the public notified? A: If school is canceled or delayed due to weather, notifications will be sent through: - Henrietta ISD's automated calling system - District website - Social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) - Local TV and radio stations ( Channel 6 KAUZ and Channel 3 KFDX) - Henrietta ISD app notifications Please note: The district does NOT send out communications if there are no changes to the regular school day or after-school activities. Q: Who makes the decision? A: The superintendent is responsible for the final decision, based on recommendations from district staff, including the safety and security department, facility services, and our transportation provider. Q: What should I do if I know bad weather is expected? A: Because weather updates can happen rapidly and to avoid miscommunication, please check the Henrietta ISD website for the most up-to-date and accurate information. Q: How do I find out if my child's after-school activity has been canceled? A: Please check the Henrietta ISD website for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding after-school activities. Remember: If there is no announcement from Henrietta ISD, then classes will be held on a normal schedule.
