Parents of Kindergarteners!! Join us for breakfast & coffee after you walk your kiddo to their class on the first day of school! Teachers request that after you check into the front office to get your visitor's badge (bring your driver's license with you), walk your student to pick up their breakfast, then to the Kindergarten rooms. It is best to say a quick "see you after school! Have a great day!", quick hug, then join us in the Elementary School library for breakfast. We hope you will join us! It will be super casual and a time to visit with other parents.
Parents - We are just eleven days away from school starting! What an exciting time! Check out the monthly newsletter with information about everything going on at HISD.

Starting today, our track and football field will be closed for the summer. They are starting the removal and replacement process for the turf/track surface. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we are excited to have the new surfaces ready for fall! This is part of the bond package that was passed in May.

Due to weather concerns, the Lady Cat sendoff has been moved to the gym. Thank you for your understanding
Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Be informed, have honest conversations with your kiddos, and reach out for questions or help. If you are raising young children, teach them "Ask First": "If anyone offers you something to eat, drink, or candy, ask (Mom, Dad, Guardian, teacher, etc.) first!"
Voters approve $36 million for new high school and athletic improvements
The Henrietta ISD community overwhelmingly approved a $36 million investment for a new high school and improvements to athletic facilities on May 4, 2024.
Henrietta ISD Superintendent Jaime Clark stated, "I am so excited for the future of Henrietta ISD and the opportunities these facilities and upgrades will provide our students for generations to come.”
While the preliminary results from Clay County affirm the passing of Propositions A and B, it's important to note that these results are pending official canvassing. Texas law mandates this process to ensure the accuracy and inclusion of every valid vote. The Board of Trustees has tentatively scheduled the canvass of votes for May 13, 2024 at the May board meeting.
Board of Trustees President Brad Yurcho conveyed gratitude, stating, "This success began many months ago with a community-led Facility Committee of parents, staff and community members who met to ensure all students in Henrietta ISD continue to have access to modern classrooms and innovative programs. The entire Board expresses its appreciation to Superintendent Jaime Clark, the district leadership team and the Facility Committee for the hours and hard work that was put in to make this a success, and we are so grateful that our community supported the vision.”
With voters approving both propositions, the projected increase is 23 cents per $100 valuation. This tax rate will still be lower than the 2022 tax rate.
UNOFFICIAL RESULTS
Proposition A
For – 61.86 %, Against – 38.14 %
Proposition B
For – 59.24 %, Against – 40.76 %
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Check out Ms. Shannon's District Counselor page on our website for several resources. #MentalHealthMonth
