CREATE A HAC ACCOUNT TODAY!
Create your Home Access Center (HAC) account NOW!
According to our records, some parents have not yet created a Home Access Center (HAC) Account. Please take a minute or two to create your account if you haven't done so already. By doing so, you will save time at the beginning of the next school year! Every student in HumbleISD must have an account & complete the Annual Update in order to have current information for the upcoming school year. The Home Access Center (HAC) is a “one-stop” portal to view the student’s schedule, attendance record, classwork, progress reports, report cards, registration information, emergency contacts, and so much more.
To create your account please click on the following link.

HAC UPDATE
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. This does not apply to current kindergarten students.
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.

CAR RIDER DISMISSAL TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGE
Please be aware that starting Monday, March 1, we will implement a new traffic pattern for car rider dismissal. Parents picking up in the car rider line will need to use the middle driveway to queue in to the line for car riders. The line will be double stacked all the way around the Insperity driveway. It is possible the line will bleed out on to Madera Run Eastbound for a short period of time until the line starts moving. If the line is backed out on to Madera Run, we ask that you do not make a left hand turn from Madera Run Westbound.
Thank you for your assistance while we make this change to make the car rider line more efficient while remaining safe for our students and staff
CAR RIDER DISMISSAL TIME
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.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL
We need your help with arrival and dismissal.
Traffic flow and safety can be improved if you plan to only make a right hand turn out of Groves.
We have received complaints from the neighborhood on individuals parking/stopping on Boundary Waters Lane to drop off / pick up students. Please do not use this as a drop/pick up zone as it has become an issue of safety with the number vehicles on the street.
All traffic needs to proceed with awareness and caution through the school zone. Please obey speed limits and watch for the crossing guards and children on Madera Run.
Everyone appreciates the cooperation to ensure a safer arrival and dismissal.
Thank you.
