HAC UPDATE STILL OPEN
The online Annual Update process must be completed each year for all current Humble ISD students.
*** There are still student accounts for the 20-21 school year that need to update. Please do so at your earliest convenience.***
A current student is defined as any student who was actively enrolled on the last day of the 2019-2020 school year in any Humble ISD campus.
Steps for completing the Annual Update:
Log in to Home Access Center and check the student name in the top right corner. Select the drop-down circle to change to a new student, if needed.
From the Registration page, select the Update Enrollment tab.
Select Start to access the Annual Update Registration.
Due to COVID-19, please upload proof of residency and updated immunization records (SIGNED or STAMPED by the physician) in the Annual Update application.
CHANGING LEARNING LOCATIONS
Learning Location changes are trending toward most students switching to face-to-face instruction. As stated since the process started, there is a high probability that students will change classroom assignments in order to maintain balanced class sizes.
Parents can change their student's learning location by using the Learning Location Form.
We need your help and understanding as we navigate our new normal of online and face-to-face instruction. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the changes as quickly as we did as the number of changes are increasing. There are many people involved in the process, and many applications that need to be changed. Location changes will be processed on the schedule below:
Complete the Change Form November 30 - December 4 – Student will begin new class on Monday, December 7
Complete the Change Form December 7 - 11 – Student will begin new class on Monday, December 14
Complete the Change Form December 14 - 18 – Student will begin new class on Tuesday, January 5
Complete the Change Form December 19 - January 8 – Student will begin new class on Monday, January 11
This will allow all students who change to begin the first day of school for that week.
If a Face-to-Face student is out sick, they do not move to an online class. Families may contact the child’s teacher for missed school work if the child feels able.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this plan.

CAR RIDER DISMISSAL
During car rider dismissal there are two staff members inputting numbers and directing cars into the inside/outside lanes. We kindly ask that you remain in the lane given as your child's number is specific to a lane. Changing lanes will only result in delays at dismissal.
Currently car rider dismissal starts at 3:10pm and ends PROMPTLY at 3:35pm. Please arrive accordingly for pick up.
A friendly reminder to not get out of your car during dismissal. If your child needs to be buckled, we ask that you pull into the parking lot.
BIRTHDAY TREATS
Parents are permitted to recognize a child’s birthday by sending treats for the child’s homeroom to have during lunch.
At this time we are encouraging the purchase of frozen treats from the cafeteria for all students in the class.
If you choose to send something, please check with your child’s teacher first regarding any allergies in the class. For sanitation purposes, items should be individually wrapped. Some examples are Little Debbies or Hostess treats.
The following items are NOT permitted: balloons, goodie bags, gifts, candles, flowers, party hats, etc.
