~HJHS~ The TikTok trend is still causing havoc in schools across the nation. With a new month upon us we are faced with the new TikTok challenge for October .."Slap a teacher/staff member on the backside". Slapping a teacher/staff member on the backside can be considered assault and will be taken seriously. If a student is caught participating in this current trend there will be disciplinary actions such as suspension, expulsion, and/or law enforcement involvement. This is a serious matter and teachers/staff members could press charges against any student that may engage in such behavior. It is our hope that you will discuss this trend with your child(ren) and reinforce appropriate school behaviors at home. Your continuous support is greatly appreciated as HJHS strives to be a safe place for your child(ren) academically, socially and emotionally.

HJHS no 8th grade football practice today (9/30). 8th grade players will go home after school.

HJHS. 8th grade softball game has been cancelled for today (9/30) due to weather. There will be practice.

6th/7th Home Softball Game for today (9/28) is cancelled due to the wet and muddy field conditions. There will be practice.

Holbrook Junior High School! Reminder: This week 9/20-9/24) is HHS homecoming and Spirit Week! Let's see that School Spirit, HJHS...Kicking it off with Pixar or Sports Day on Monday.

~HJHS~ The challenges of social media are real and we want you to know HJHS will be attentive regarding the new TikTok trend that is causing damage to schools across this country, including in our own school district. The TikTok challenge is encouraging students to destroy and steal school property and post about it on social media platforms. Damaging and stealing school property is a felony. If a student is caught destroying, defacing, and/or stealing school property there will be disciplinary actions such as suspension, expulsion, and/or law enforcement involvement. The home-to-school connection is invaluable regarding these matters. It is our hope that you will discuss this trend with your child(ren) and reinforce appropriate school behaviors at home. Your continuous support is greatly appreciated as HJHS strives to be a safe place for your child(ren) academically, socially and emotionally. ​

Holbrook Junior High School! Just a reminder that tomorrow, Monday, September 13th is picture day at HJHS.
