Due to the severe winter weather forecast for the Houston area, Southwest Public Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026. This decision was made to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and families.
The City of Houston has opened warming centers and shared winter weather safety resources for families who may need assistance during the cold weather event.
Warming Centers & City Resources:

We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and will communicate any updates regarding return-to-school information through texts/notifications, district social media, and our website. Stay safe!
