Greetings Roadrunners! HUSD #3 is implementing a COVID dashboard to help communicate active COVID-19 cases within HUSD #3 staff and students as reported by Navajo County Health, WIHCC, and self-reporting. HUSD #3 will utilize this dashboard to monitor cases on a daily basis. Cases are recorded by HUSD #3 health personnel. We hope the dashboard will allow our parents, students and staff to keep informed of cases by school and throughout the district. Any exposure pertaining to attendance at school will be accompanied by an exposure letter to parents and guardians. Frequent updates may be found on the HUSD #3 website. Thanks for helping us keep HUSD #3 safe, healthy and educational for our students and staff! Be healthy Roadrunners!

Greetings Roadrunners- I write today to parents of bus riders pertaining to the bussing capacities at HUSD #3. HUSD #3 is aware of the large capacities on some of the HUSD #3 buses and we acknowledge that the capacities are larger than we would like. This is due to a lack of bus drivers. We have plenty of buses and not enough drivers. HUSD #3 has been actively and continuously recruiting bus drivers for years; however and unfortunately, we are currently 5 bus drivers short of full capacity. We have everyone certified to drive a bus fulfilling routes at this time. We appreciate your patience as we have two drivers in training but it takes a bit of time to get certified as a bus driver. We are actively trying to resolve this matter and encourage you to help us recruit new bus drivers for HUSD #3. They may apply through our website at www.holbrook.k12.az.us. Thanks for your understanding and patience and as always, thank you for being Roadrunners!

LATE BUSES ROUTES: If your child rides: RT 5, Rt 8, Rt 13 or Rt. 14 the buses are running late. There was an accident on I40 early this morning that shut the interstate down (east bound). Traffic is flowing now in one lane but the closure put HUSD 3 bus routes behind on pickup. Buses are rolling! We will be there soon! Thanks for your patience!

SAVE THE DATE: HUSD #3 Roost EdTalk featuring NASA Mechanical Engineer and HHS Alum Aaron Yazzie! Thursday, August 19, 2021 6 pm Facebook Live from the Roadrunner Roost! Learn more about Aaron's journey to Stanford then on to NASA and his role with recent Mars explorations! Welcome back Aaron! Hope you can join us!

First day of school tomorrow! Please be safe! Buses will run in the morning and afternoon.

Good evening Roadrunners! Bus list and food service menus are available on the HUSD #3 website main page AND on the HUSD #3 app under documents. Looking forward to a great start on Wednesday! Thanks for being Roadrunners!

Greetings Roadrunners! Throughout this week HUSD #3 has communicated some ways our school system will focus on a safe, healthy and educational return to school. From air purification to touchless systems to signage, we are working diligently to ensure we have a safe, healthy and educational environment for all students and staff. Today, I wanted to address personal protective equipment (i.e. face shields, masks, etc.). The Arizona legislature passed A.R.S. 15-342.05 which states that school districts cannot require facemasks for students or staff. As a result, face masks will be optional for students and staff at HUSD #3 at this time. We highly recommend that students and staff wear personal protective equipment if they have any symptoms of illness, have not been vaccinated or have any risks associated with illness. We will respect the rights of each individual while continuing to focus on taking care of one another. Please note: Indian Wells Elementary School will follow the Navajo Nation mask mandate at this time. We are working hard to ensure we have a safe, healthy and educational school system for all Roadrunners. We are looking forward to the new school year beginning August 4th! Thanks for helping everyone stay healthy and as always, thank you for being Roadrunners!

Back to school update! HUSD #3 will utilize signage to remind students and staff to maintain healthy habits at school! Here's to a healthy Holbrook! Back to school August 4th!

Back to school update: HUSD #3 is developing our school as Healthy Buildings for SY 21-22. All schools will have touchless systems in place to reduce touch points to keep all Roadrunners healthy! Here's to a healthy Holbrook!
