Dear TCJHS Parents and extended family members,
As we kick off the new year at Tuba City Jr. High School, we want to take a moment to welcome you back and express our excitement for the opportunities and learning experiences that lie ahead in 2025.
Our dedicated teachers are prepared to continue building upon the strong foundation established in the first semester, focusing on critical thinking, project based learning and deeper exploration of skills in Math and English.
It is important to note that the Science Fair Projects are due on Friday, January 17, 2025, and Judging day is Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Science Fair projects are part of the third quarter science grade. Students may participate in one of the five categories: Engineering and technology, Chemistry, Physics, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science. Please make sure you review the rules and guidelines with your child.
It is important that you stay connected by regularly checking your child’s agenda/planner and online platforms to stay updated on assignments and upcoming deadlines. The seventh-grade team will be hosting a Parent night on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and the eighth-grade team will be having a parent meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. A site council meeting with parents will be on Thursday, January 30, 2025. It is important to attend these meetings to address any concerns you have with promotion criteria, attendance, and academic progress. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns.
As a school we are asking that you foster a positive attitude towards learning and encourage your child to actively participate in class discussions and activities. We are committed to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive. Please don’t hesitate to contact the school or your child’s teacher/counselor if you need any assistance throughout the semester.
Looking forward to a successful semester.
Respectfully,
C. Benally, Ed.S., Principal
