HJHS-- Did you indicate you needed an at home device during online registration? Are you on the at home Chromebook list ? If so, this message is for you: If you are on the list and did not attend one of the meetings held by Dr. Koerperich there is still an opportunity to receive your child's at home device... Before checking out the Chromebook a parent/guardian must attend a short informational meeting/presentation and sign the paperwork. At this time, I will be offering the presentation and check out process this week as follows: HJHS Library–Tuesday, January 18th between 2:00pm-3:30pm OR HJHS Library–Thursday, January 20th between 2:00pm-3:30pm OR 5:00pm-6:00pm HJHS Library–Friday, January 21st between 1:00pm-3:30pm Please attend the one that works best for you. Again, we cannot check out the at-home Chromebook to your child until a parent/guardian attends one of the meetings and signs for the device. If none of these options work for you the next check out will be during parent-teacher conferences on February 3rd. You may contact the school with any questions at 928-524-3959 or reach out to me via email at cgrau@holbrook.k12.az.us Thank you, Cheri Grau-HJHS Principal

A reminder that HUSD 3 will be closed in observance of the Martin Luther King national holiday on Monday, January 17, 2022. School will resume on Tuesday, January 18th.
