Taking into account the most recent weather updates from the National Weather Service, we have decided to close all STISD campuses and offices tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 21, and to have a delayed start on Wednesday, Jan. 22. We will resume our regular schedule on Thursday as of now.
Out of an abundance of caution, STISD will have a delayed start district wide on Tuesday, Jan. 21. This delayed start includes all 7 STISD campuses.
Staff will need to report to campuses and offices by 9:00 a.m., and we will delay the start of classes until 10:00 a.m. We will adjust our campus schedules to accommodate the shorter day and end the day at the usual time of 4:05 p.m.
STISD will open enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025.
The enrollment form must be completed online at www.stisd.net. STISD is a tuition-free, open-enrollment district, and all students residing in Cameron, Hidalgo or Willacy County are eligible to enroll.
State and nationally-ranked STISD offers students an educational alternative through seven magnet schools throughout the Rio Grande Valley – two middle schools, four high schools, and a virtual school that consists of both middle and high school.
