Parents of BBE Students:

Humble ISD follows the Texas Department of State Health Services, "Communicable Disease Chart and Notes for Schools and Childcare Centers". This chart is available online at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/idps-home/school-communicable-disease-chart and states that students who test positive for Covid-19 must be excluded from school for 5 day from onset of symptoms, or positive test if no symptoms.

Students may return after the 5 days if they have been fever free for at least 24 hours with no fever reducing medicine and symptoms are improving.

You may find the following forms on the Humble ISD Health Services Website:
