You Must Make a Choice THIS WEEK Between In-Person or Virtual Learning


Student Instructional Selection for 2nd Six Weeks

Beginning Monday, September 21, and continuing through Friday, September 25, Houston ISD is asking all families to consider the learning setting for their student(s) beginning October 19th. Families will either choose to remain in a virtual/online setting or commit to returning to campus for face-to-face instruction.  Please note that the default selection for each student is face-to-face instruction.  


Parents will make their selection through the HISD Connect Parent Portal "Forms" section. Parents will be able log in and select in-person or virtual learning for the second six weeks of the 2020 school year. As we continue through the fall and spring semesters, you will have the opportunity to update this at the end of each six-weeks cycle. This process will ensure campuses can begin planning for physical space, staffing, and scheduling.


Parents who have not yet signed up to access the HISD Connect Parent Portal should utilize the access code that was sent via email. If you have not received this code, please contact your House Principal this week.

  • Students for which a selection has not been made by the deadline automatically will be selected for in-person learning for planning purposes.
  • For campuses where the number of in-person selections are more than can be accommodated to ensure social-distancing guidelines, there may be a phase-in process.
