Haw River Hype

Last week was a great week! Kindergarten and First Grade enjoyed their field trips. We celebrated Administrative Professional's Day and Autism Acceptance Week. Most importantly, our Lion Cub Leaders continued to grow and bloom as we head towards the end of the year!

We are still planning on rescheduling our Campus Clean-up Day. Stay tuned for more details to come.

Just a quick safety reminder: If you are signing your student out early (before 2:20 pm), you must go inside to the front office and check them out. If you arrive early, after 2:20 pm, to sign your child out, you must wait until the dismissal announcements are made at 2:25 pm. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter!

This week we are celebrating Mr. Bryan for School Principal's Day on May 1st. We are thankful to have him as our leader! He adds value to Haw River daily with his fantastic leadership skills and beautiful relationships with students, families, and staff; his excitement and energy are contagious throughout our building! Happy School Principal's Day, Mr. Bryan!

Also, this week, local Rotarians will visit our campus as part of their "Rotary Reads" program.

Lastly, a HUGE event is planned for Thursday, May 4th, from 4:00-6:00 pm. We will be having our first annual "LEVEL-UP" Night. Come and check out your grade level expectations for next year. Rising Kindergarten Registration will also take place in the library. There will be games, snacks, prizes, House Points, and Sunset Slush for purchase. The first 200 students will receive a lanyard for their "gaming" card. You do not want to miss it!!!

Reminders:

• School begins at 7:50 am for ALL students Pre-K-5. If you arrive after 7:50, you must park in the Pre-K parking lot and walk in with your students to sign them in before they can go to class.
• If you need to change your child's afternoon transportation, please call the front office at (336) 578-0177 before 2:00 pm. Teachers cannot check and respond to messages and emails throughout the day when they are teaching. Please do not expect an immediate response from your child's teacher during instructional hours. Office hours for teachers begin after 3:00 pm.
• Families may come to eat lunch with your students. Please reach out to your child's teacher 24 hours in advance to let them know you are coming so they can plan for seating. Remember: NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK MAY BE BROUGHT IN. Upon arrival, please sign in at the front office and get a visitor's tag.

We have some exciting news! We now have an online "spirit store" that will stay open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can order shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, book bags, pants, blankets, and so much more. You can access the store by clicking here, scanning the QR code on the picture below, or clicking the picture below. The store is also linked to our Haw River Elementary webpage.

Each week during morning announcements, Mr. Bryan will announce the “Lion Cub Lingo” Words of the week. These words have been pulled from an academic vocabulary list that are most commonly used on formative and summative assessments. Students that use those words with adults in the building in the correct context can be rewarded with a House Point.

What It Is:

We find our voice when we combine our talents, passions, and conscience in a way that meets a need in the world. And once we find our voice, we can help others find theirs.

Think about the following questions.

• What are your strengths and talents?
• What do you love to do?
• What’s a need in the world?
• What would make a difference?

Take your responses to those questions and write a description of YOUR voice!

The points leader of the whole school for the 22-23 school year is Jordyn R., in 2nd grade! She currently has earned 301 House Points so far this year!

The House that earned the most points last week was Intellectus, earning 135 points across the whole school!

The teacher that awarded the most points to students last week was Mrs. McKenna, Art Teacher by awarding 97 points. Thank you for recognizing the many positive and great things our students are doing and celebrating their successes!

In first place is Excelsior, with 12,172 points. The points leader for last week was Bryan G., in 1st grade. So far, the House Excelsior points leader for this year is Jordyn R., in 2nd grade!

So far this year, students have earned $16,381 in Cub Currency and 16,273 in House Points for academic growth!

This year students have grown 48,536 points from BOY to MOY. That is equal to 8,089 TOUCH DOWNS!!!

We are heading into the last "quarter" of our "Football Game" for the Data Super Bowl and every point of growth counts! Let's show our families, community, and district how much students grow at Haw River Elementary! Look for growth point updates in next week's newsletter!

Mission:

We learn, we lead, and we succeed!

Vision:

Haw River Elementary is a community of empowered leaders who own our learning and work as a team.
