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!

Just a reminder that we have an early release today, Friday! Students are being released now! Have a great weekend and looking forward to seeing all students back on Monday!
