This week, we are going to have a special "Super Attendance Week." Our goal for our school this year is to have 93% attendance. For the month of November, we finished at 92.7%, and while that is close to our goal, we still have work to do! How can you help us reach our goal? By having your students at school every day, on time, and all day. Every minute counts! For "Super Attendance Week", students who are in school on time will receive 5 House Points from their classroom teachers. Which class, grade level, or house will earn the most attendance points this week? We know our Lion Cub Leaders are up for the challenge! #everyminutecounts #StudentCenteredFutureFocused #LionCubsLeadTheWay

At Haw River Elementary, we believe in celebrating our exceptional faculty, staff, and students. One way in which we do this is through our Lion Cub Leaders of the Month program. Once a month, our administration recognizes one of their teachers/staff and students with the honor of being Haw River's Lion Cub Leader of the Month. Our recognized staff member receives a gift card through a partnership with various community partners. Recognized students receive a trip to the PAW Mart Cart, where they choose a prize of their choice. Check out our Lion Cub Leaders of the Month for October, November & December! #LionCubsLeadTheWay
