Week 37: Lion Cub Leaders Have Learned & Lead Successfully this School Year!
Greeting Lion Cub Families!
Can you believe it? This is our last week of school! Thinking about our students and how much they have grown from day 1 until now makes us so proud of each of our Lion Cub Leaders. Everyone has grown in their leadership abilities and their academics. We are proud of each of our Lion Cub Leaders and cannot wait to see the great things they do in the next school year.
This week we want to highlight our Haw River Elementary alumni who will be walking across the stage as they graduate from high school and embark on their next adventure as learners and leaders in society. Each of your make us so proud, so this week's edition of the Haw River Hype is dedicated to you!
Families, please remember we will be make-up EOGs this week so if your child was absent and missed a test, it is important they arrive at school on time each day! Also, this Friday is the last day of school and we will have a half-day early dismissal.
Let's get excited for our 37th week of Learning, Leading, and Loving It!

Affordable Connectivity Program
Purpose: Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was tasked to develop and maintain the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) – a federal program that offers eligible households a discount on their monthly internet bill and a one-time discount off the purchase of a laptop, desktop or tablet computer. Since launching in December 2021, the ACP has helped over 22 million eligible households gain access to online internet service, allowing subscribers to take advantage of educational and career building resources, telehealth services and more. However, the of $14.2 billion Congress initially appropriated for the ACP is approaching depletion. Without additional funding, the Commission must begin a wind-down process for the ACP.

Health-Related Updates
Important Reminder From Nurse Matkins
Flu and cold season are here. It is important that we all do our best to stay healthy by washing our hands, covering our cough, and staying home when sick.
Students should stay home if
If the student has any of the following symptoms they should stay home:
Fever (temperature of 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit or higher),
Diarrhea or vomiting
Constant cough and sore throat
A student who has a fever of 99.6 or above or any student that has thrown up will be sent home. Therefore, you will need to come for him/her immediately when the school contacts you. It is extremely important that you provide your child’s teacher with several emergency contact numbers so that someone can be reached if your child gets sick or injured. We cannot allow students with these symptoms to ride home on the bus or daycare vans.
- Students need to be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Anyone throwing up at night or in the morning should not attend school.
