GAME DAY HAS ARRIVED!
The HJHS Student Council kicked off our FIRST GAME DAY of the school year, and our Futuristic Roadrunners brought the energy!
Students competed in fun events to earn points for their class cohorts, and the competition was LOUD, exciting, and full of school spirit!
Congratulations to the 8th Grade Class of 2031!
They took the win today and earned major points for their cohort. Their class chant was by far the loudest, proving that school spirit and teamwork matter!
And our teachers weren't about to sit on the sidelines! Teachers jumped into the action with a Wig Snatch Contest to help their grade levels earn even MORE points!
The final two teachers standing were Mr. McDaniel and Ms. Baloo, hanging onto their wigs and bringing home valuable points for their grade-level cohorts!
This is what being a Futuristic Roadrunner is all about—showing up, having fun, supporting one another, and working together as a team!

AVID in Action at HJHS!
It may only be the first week of school, but our Futuristic Roadrunners are already putting AVID strategies into action!
Mrs. Visser’s 7th Grade English classes were engaged in collaborative groups, working together to answer essential questions for the AUP while using text evidence to support their thinking.
This is exactly what AVID is about—students collaborating, thinking critically, communicating, and taking ownership of their learning.
We are here for our students, and we are committed to making a difference every day, in every classroom.

The first day of school is Monday, August 3, and we are excited to welcome all of our Futuristic Roadrunners back to Holbrook Junior High!
When students arrive, staff will be outside to greet them, and tables will be set up where they can pick up their class schedules and any school supplies they may need.
Morning Drop-Off: Students should be dropped off near the parking lot on 4th Street. Our staff will be there to welcome them and help them get to where they need to go.
As you prepare for the first day, please help your student start the year off right by wearing school-appropriate clothing. Shorts should be fingertip length or longer (no spandex), and shirts should fully cover the stomach area. You can find additional dress code information in your student's planner.
With the warm weather expected to continue, students are encouraged to bring a clear water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Please make sure your student arrives by 7:50 a.m. so they have time to get settled before classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m.
Welcome back, Futuristic Roadrunners—let's make it a fantastic year! 💙❤️

📚✨ Futuristic Roadrunners in Action! ✨📚
At HJHS, our teachers are committed to continuous growth and working together to improve student achievement. Through collaboration, professional learning, and a shared commitment to excellence, we are strengthening instruction by implementing AVID strategies in every classroom, every day.
What is an AVID school?
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a nationally recognized college and career readiness program that equips students with the skills they need to be successful. We focus on teaching students how to think critically, collaborate effectively, stay organized, take purposeful notes, write to learn, and engage in meaningful learning through the WICOR strategies (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading).
By embedding these strategies into all classrooms, we are helping every student build the confidence, skills, and habits needed to succeed in middle school, high school, and beyond.

A huge thank you to our incredible Holbrook Junior High teachers who stepped up to help our grounds crew after Wednesday night's storm. Strong winds snapped one of our trees and left broken branches scattered across campus, but our staff jumped in to help with the cleanup.
This is what being a Futuristic Roadrunner is all about—working together to keep our campus clean, safe, and welcoming for our students. We are proud to be part of a school community where teamwork isn't just something we teach—it's something we live every day.

Better late than never!
We apologize for the delay in sharing these photos from our 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony. Several students were kind enough to share pictures with us. During the ceremony, all of our staff members were on the field helping keep students organized and ensuring everything ran smoothly, so we were unable to take many photos ourselves.
It was truly a wonderful day and a memorable way to celebrate the accomplishments of our students. Thank you to all of our parents for getting your students to school on time during the final week of school, especially on promotion day. Students arrived fully dressed, prepared, and ready to participate. They represented themselves, their families, and our school with pride and did an outstanding job throughout the ceremony.
Congratulations to the Class of 2030! We are incredibly proud of all you have accomplished and look forward to seeing the great things you will achieve in high school and beyond. You will be missed, and we wish each of you continued success in the years ahead.

Parents,
If you would like your child to participate in Summer School, please register using the following link:
https://forms.gle/RMJVTxWuCTXWXrPT9
Please note that some classes are offered on different dates. Once a student is enrolled in a class, they are expected to attend and complete all weeks of that session.
Summer School provides an excellent opportunity for students to strengthen their academic skills in a smaller learning environment, allowing for more individualized support and instruction. We encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity to help students build confidence and prepare for the upcoming school year.

The staff at Holbrook Junior High would like to thank Girl Scout Troop 510 for bringing us cookies. The staff truly enjoyed this thoughtful treat, and during such a busy time of year, it was definitely a feel good moment for everyone. We also noticed that several of our own students are part of your troop, which made it even more special.
Thank you, Girl Scout Troop 510, for thinking of our teachers and staff. Your kindness and appreciation meant so much to all of us!

Today our 6th–8th grade students had their annual Spring Fling. It was a windy day, but that did not stop all the activities taking place this afternoon. The students had a great time enjoying the games, fun, and time with friends. Thank you to our Student Council for organizing this event and helping make it a success for everyone!





Here is the 8th grade promotion picture information.

Several students from Mr. Silver’s Navajo Language and Culture class took a trip to Window Rock. Mr. Silver was accompanied on the trip by Miss Bernice Gover, Indian Education Director. The students were able to learn and discuss Navajo history at the museum, gain insight into how the Navajo government operates while meeting officials, visit a zoo that featured animals native to our area, and take pictures at the infamous Window Rock.
What an amazing opportunity for our students to experience the rich culture, history, and traditions of the Navajo Nation through hands on learning.
