Dear ,

I hope you and your family are enjoying a safe and restful summer. We're one month away from welcoming all students back into our classrooms and we couldn't be more excited to have our students on campus.

For an update on HISD's safety protocols when schools fully reopen this fall, pleaseread Superintendent Millard House II's latest communication.

As we head into August, we'll have more regular communications about our return to school. For now, you can take a look at our uniform dress code and school supply lists so you can start preparing.

Don't forget to encourage your students to read every day!
