Greetings Roadrunners, The Holbrook School District has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17. The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have not had any threats or posts of any such nature at or about HUSD #3; however, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. Additionally, the district has been in contact with the Holbrook Police Department and Navajo County Sheriff's Office regarding the post. We will have an increased police presence in our buildings on Friday as an added precaution. In addition, we will implement a "no back pack day". No student will need a back pack at school tomorrow. Finally, we will ensure we increase supervision throughout the day and if parents choose to keep students home for the day, we ask that you call the school to report the absence. Again, I want to emphasize that we are being proactive by getting this information out as it has been brought to our attention that this is a national trend on Tik Tok. We realize these social media trends can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about practicing safe and responsible behaviors. If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member, the police department or trusted adult right away. We work diligently to create a safe and caring environment at HUSD #3; therefore, we will always be proactive in these matters whether they are specific to HUSD #3 or not. Awareness and teamwork are the keys to creating a safe environment. As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students. Thank you for being Roadrunners and Happy Holidays! Sincerely, Dr. Koerperich Superintendent

Good evening Roadrunners! The Roadrunner vs Chinle game Friday night is being postponed due to illnesses. We will be working with Chinle to reschedule the game at a date to be determined. If you purchased a ticket: 1- hang on to the ticket for the game to be played when rescheduled. OR 2- get a refund at the District Office Monday- Wednesday next week from 10 am - 2 pm. Everyone stay safe and healthy! Happy Holidays! Thanks for being Roadrunners!

HUSD # 3 will begin winter break on Monday, December 20th. Friday, December 17th will be the last day of the semester! School will resume on Monday, January 3rd! Happy Holidays Roadrunners!

Good Morning! All Holbrook USD #3 schools will be on a two hour delay this morning as I-40 west bound is closed due to traffic accidents. This includes HHS, HJHS, Park, IWES and Hulet! School will begin at 10 am and buses will pick up on a two hour delay! Be safe getting to school.
