Humble ISD hopes to offer students a great school year.
There will be in person classes, extracurricular activities, and parents are welcome back on campuses to volunteer and attend events.
Humble ISD is one of the few school districts in Texas that planned for and continues to offer a virtual learning option.
Humble ISD is committed to doing what is best for students and staff, regardless of how the state funds ADA (average daily attendance). If we must, the district will use fund balance and federal ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funds to provide a virtual learning option to families.
Humble ISD will provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.
Students on campus will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge. Students can purchase seconds and a la carte snacks for an additional fee at the register. Virtual students are also eligible for free meals. Details will be communicated to virtual students.
While no application or eligibility determination is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, it is still critical for families to apply for free and reduced meals. This important data allows Humble ISD families to receive benefits such as discounted internet costs, reduced fees for SAT/ACT testing, help with college application fees, potential eligibility if P-EBT benefits are offered in the future, as well as maximizing important state and federal funding for individual schools. Applications are provided online at www.schoolcafe.com.

Humble ISD will allow parents to request a change from virtual learning classes to on campus classes by completing the Learning Location Form.
Humble ISD will allow parents to be on a waitlist for openings in virtual learning classes.
Approximately 2,000 students have chosen virtual learning. Classes were formed based upon parent requests submitted at the end of the 2020-2021 school year and this summer. Parents may place their child on the waitlist by completing the Learning Location Form. In order to provide the best school experiences for all students, the district must monitor class sizes as enrollment numbers fluctuate. At the beginning of the school year, notifications to parents of students on the elementary waitlist will go out no later than the week of August 23. Notifications to the parents of middle and high school students on the secondary waitlist will go out no later than the week of August 30. Students with medical conditions may qualify for homebound instruction. Families with extenuating circumstances prohibiting on campus instruction should contact their child’s principal.
Humble ISD is working to develop support for students who are out because they have COVID-19 or another communicable disease, or are in voluntary quarantine after close contact, with the opportunity to keep up with school work through remote conferencing if they feel well.
