Henrietta Independent School District

📣 New Student Registration begins tomorrow at all campuses from 4–6 PM!
If you can’t make it then, no worries — you can register any new student at their campus Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM.

We look forward to welcoming our new students! 🎉

Parents and Guardians, please check your email later today for an important message inviting you to set up your Skyward Family Access account!

We’re transitioning away from the old Parent Portal system and moving to Skyward Family Access, with student registration for the fall semester being the very first step. That means it’s essential that your account is fully set up and working properly.

Your email should include your assigned username and instructions for setting up your account. With Skyward Family Access, you’ll be able to do everything you previously did in Parent Portal—and even more!

We’re excited about this new system and confident it will improve your experience.

If you didn’t receive the invitation, be sure to check your junk or spam folder.

Still nothing? Please contact your campus secretary to make sure your correct email address is on file.

Let’s get ready for a great school year!

Bearcat families, we’ve hit a tiny hiccup with returning student registration. We’re working on it and expect things to be back on track soon — so keep checking your email this week for updates!

Hey Bearcat fans! We’ve made a few changes to the HHS Pep Rally schedule — here’s the updated list of themes!

Get ready to cheer loud, proud, and show your Bearcat spirit all season long!

Incoming 7th grade parents: Don’t forget! Your student must have updated immunizations for this school year. Questions? Email denise.blagrave@henrietta-isd.net

We sincerely apologize to our neighbors in the Centennial area for any inconvenience caused during construction. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue work on the new high school.

Join us for an open and engaging discussion focused on building stronger partnerships between our schools, families, and community leaders.

We’ll be addressing HISD Committee options, August In-service support and the 2025 Back to School Bash!

Lunch will be provided!

We appreciate you partnering with us — be part of the conversation!

It is almost time to welcome back our HISD staff, and we want you to be a part of the fun "market street" event this year. Let us know if you would like to participate in the event and share information about your business. Or you may just be a community group that wants to showcase your organization. Either way, this is going to be a great event to meet the staff and see our students display their talents!
Let us know if you want to join the fun!

Crafton St. from Kay St. to Bearcat Ln. will be CLOSED July 28–Aug. 1 for construction progress.
Please plan ahead and use alternate routes. Thank you

Congratulations to Ella Klyn!
Ella was selected to the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) All-Star Track Roster and had the incredible honor of helping lead drills at Coaching School this week. This prestigious recognition is a testament to her hard work and leadership. A big thank you to Coach Kabisch for nominating her, and to Coach Jones, Coach McCasland, Coach Smith, and Coach Baird for showing their support and being there to celebrate this special moment with her. We are so proud of Ella and all who helped her shine!

These adorable HJH Cheerleaders are off to camp! Have a great week!

Just a reminder that our FFA group is partnering with Texas Rural Education Association to help provide items to help with the cleanup for the flood victims. They will start collecting items today and will deliver it this weekend. Please make sure to drop items off in the back of the high school going through the gate by the baseball fields. The other entry points are under construction right now. Click the link to see the items needed - https://5il.co/3lt4y. Thank you for helping to support this incredible effort to support our fellow Texans that are experiencing great loss.

Start gathering your pep rally gear — Bearcat Football is almost BACK! Pep Rally season is around the corner, and we’ve got the themes lined up! Plan those outfits now and get ready to bring the spirit!
