6th graders at HIS have one elective class plus Tiger Time. Our rising 6th graders(current 5th graders) will have an opportunity beginning February 17th to choose their top three requests for their 6th-grade elective. Elective teachers are working to share their content and promote the options. These elective forms will be due back with a parent's signature no later than February 20th. Should your child lose their form, they will need to speak with their homeroom teacher to receive another copy. Parents, be sure to ask your students about this form and discuss the descriptors of each elective option to help them choose what is best for them.

ACAP Celebration 2026
ACAP Celebration 2026
Each year, HIS determines an ACAP Celebration event for our students. We've done everything from hosting a rodeo event at the Sheriff Posse Arena, to putting on a slam-dunk and 3-point shooting contest, to even taking over the Trash Panda Stadium with 575+ HIS students and staff. We are continuously trying to break the mold on ideas for our students.
This year, our plan is to turn our gymnasium into a laser tag experience for three days during PE classes. We have blow-up barriers, etc, to maximize the fun! Of course, there will be expectations to meet. See graphic for more info. We will send out more details in the coming months.
ALL EXCUSES MAY BE EMAILED TO
HIS.Attendance@hartselletigers.org
Regular attendance is essential for student success. Chronic absenteeism is defined by the State Department of Education as 18 or more absences in a school year, regardless of reason. That is equivalent to missing 2 days of school each month.
Early check-out from school interferes with learning. Please arrange appointments outside of school hours whenever possible. All students’ absences shall be designated unexcused until a written excuse is provided to the Registrar/Secretary. Eight parental excuses will be available to use with parents’ discretion (Effective this school year). Excused absences will be permitted for the following reasons: illness, legal requirements, emergencies approved by the principal, and special circumstances with prior approval by the principal. Home visits with the school's SRO may be deemed necessary if unexcused absences hinder a student's learning.
We strive to partner with parents to make school attendance a positive experience each day!
Excused Absence (8 Parent Notes/year)
Illness/Doctor, Hospitalization, Parent Note, Religious, Death of Family Member, Court Subpoena
Unexcused Absences
5 Unexcused Absences- Early Warning Court 7 Unexcused Absences- Truancy Court
Absences that involve family trips
Absences that involve family trips
We realize that families have times when they must go out of town for various reasons, causing students to miss school. Per Hartselle City School board policy, students/parents must provide an excuse for days that they are absent and seek prior acknowledgment by the school principal for long-term trips. Again, parents have five parent notes each semester that can be applied for these types of absences. Once those absences are used, any absences not requiring a doctor's note will be unexcused and possibly warrant Early Warning Court.
Please email his.attendance@hartselletigers.org or earon.sheats@hartselletigers.org for attendance communication.
Thank you for your help.

Everyone Loves a Good Carline
Everyone Loves a Good Carline
When everyone is on board with the carline procedures, the HIS carline truly is a good carline experience. Below are the written directions with photos and a drone view video for your viewing pleasure.
-We have two afternoon pickup lanes based on student last name.
-You enter both pickup lanes last names A-K (closer to Peck Funeral Home) & last names L-Z (closer to bridge) at the SOUTH end of the stadium(off of Sparkman). See at the aerial pictures/drone footage to see the process for lining up. Due to less space, the A-K line has an overflow line to pull the traffic off of Sparkman(it is by the treeline.)
-When you reach the area around the stadium's main entrance, please be sure to display your STUDENT CAR SIGN. This will be sent home at schedule pickup. This helps our teachers expedite the process and get students in a position for safe pickup.
-Once your line moves up to the student waiting area, be sure to pull up to where your student will be waiting. There will be numbered tiger paws that students will report to and stand on until you come to a stop. For the safety of our staff and students, please drive slowly in this area and be aware of all protocols.
-A-K line exits out WEST only by the traffic light.
-L-Z line exits out NORTH towards the front of the school.
No process is perfect; however, we strive to be at our best every day and serve our students and families excellently! As always, safety is our priority and if you can help us with cordiality with the merging process (specifically A-K side), that will expedite the process. Again, as adults, we want to model #TheTigerWay for our students and children while on campus.
Thank you for your help with this!
