COVID-19 Guidelines

The health and safety of Highland Park ISD students and staff is a top priority. This webpage outlines the most recent COVID-19 precautions, recommendations and safety measures HPISD is following for the 2024-25 school year. Guidelines are subject to change based on local, regional and state requirements and/or guidance.

COVID-19 Guidelines for the 2024-25 school year:

Following positive COVID-19 test results, individuals should stay isolated from school/work and social activities when possible until they’ve been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and their symptoms have been improving for 24 hours. Once both criteria are met, individuals will be allowed to resume regular activities. However, individuals should continue to take precautions for five days following their improved symptoms. These precautions include:

Wearing masks
Limiting close contact with other
Covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
Frequently washing or sanitizing your hands and other surfaces in common areas

HPISD will monitor public health guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and any requirements set forth by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
