Schools and communities play a big part in recognizing, addressing, and preventing teen dating violence. By encouraging positivity and putting preventive measures in place, they can help teens recognize the signs of abuse before it gets out of control and give them somewhere to turn if it happens to them. If you or someone you know is experiencing teen dating violence, tell a trusted adult, whether it’s a parent, teacher, or school counselor. They can offer emotional support and help you figure out how to protect yourself. Hereford ISD is fortunate to have our School's in Communities staff to help educate and offer a safer environment.
Empowering the future, one student at a time! HISD Grant Services is committed to providing prevention education that equips students with life skills, positivity, and the tools they need to thrive.

Due to current road conditions, buses will operate on paved routes only starting Monday, January 12th, until the conditions on the dirt roads improve. We will keep you updated.
At this time, Hereford ISD will have a delayed start for 10am on Friday, January 10th. We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the day and evening and provide an update if any plans change.
Our weather team was in close discussion with the National Weather Service around 4:30 a.m. this morning, as well as several members of our team out driving the roads. At that time, there was a slight possibility of snow, so the decision was made to proceed with school and monitor the conditions. However, with a shift in the weather pattern, we understand that conditions have taken a quick turn. As a result, Hereford ISD will now dismiss classes at 11:30 a.m. today to ensure students can eat lunch before leaving. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
Hereford ISD will start on time today, Thursday, January 9th. Our teams will be closely monitoring the weather conditions throughout the day. Stay updated by checking our Facebook, Thrillshare, herefordisd.net, and local media for any further announcements.
In the event of inclement weather overnight or in the evening throughout the winter season, our team will closely monitor the conditions and make a well-informed decision by 6 a.m. the following morning.
You will be able to find information about closings or delays through the following sources:
* Facebook
