Humble ISD will work to provide as many courses as possible in a virtual format; however, some courses may be impacted by staffing or in-person logistics, which make it challenging to provide virtually.  

Humble ISD has determined that certain Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses must be taught in person because they require specialized equipment, direct supervision of hands-on activities, compilation of training hours, and/or specific materials and technology. These determinations have been made in conjunction with recommendations released by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). While these designated courses are not available to those students choosing online learning from home, virtual students may select from many other CTE courses that can be offered online or select the Virtual + UIL/CTE option and attend the CTE course in person. 

Humble ISD provides a personalized education by offering a wide variety of academic and elective courses. In an effort to support virtual students well, students who select virtual learning may be taught by a teacher who serves students from multiple campuses. In certain high school courses, the instructor may be from Lone Star College, The University of Texas-Austin, or other institutions of higher learning. Combining students from multiple schools, and partnering with colleges for certain courses, allows virtual students the opportunity to take a variety of courses that may not be available from their home campus.

Students will be required to sign a behavioral contract indicating that they will be on campus at the times that their coaches/directors or CTE teachers have indicated for class/practices/events and will not be on campus at unauthorized times. Ensuring that students are supervised in designated areas helps keep kids safe. Students who do not follow the behavioral contract can face consequences, including losing the privilege of coming on and off campus during the school day. They may be required to become a full-time on-campus student or a full-time online student.

Virtual/UIL students who fail a class for two consecutive eligibility/grading periods will be given the choice to return to in-person learning or be removed from athletics. In the event that the student continues to have chronic academic deficiencies, the athletic council will meet to determine whether the student should be removed from athletics.
