As of today, Hannan Jr/Sr High is at 94..2 % attendance rate!!
Every day a student misses school is a missed opportunity to learn, grow, and connect.
Consistent attendance builds strong habits, boosts academic success, and prepares students for life beyond the classroom.
✅ Better grades
✅ Stronger relationships
✅ More opportunities
Keep up the good work Hannan!!
Sending out a very warm THANK YOU to North Bend Church in Mason, who graciously donated 38 coats to our students who were in need of a warm winter coat this season. Thank you SO much! We appreciate your support of our school!
Transportation is no longer an issue since therapy will happen during school hours.
Maybe your child needs someone to talk to?
Or maybe your child is receiving therapy, but you want to switch therapists?
Send an email to judith.pauley@k12.wv.us and I'll send you the intake packet to get your child signed up for school-based therapy.

Here are some quick stress management techniques:
Mindful Breathing
Try “box breathing”: Inhale 4 seconds → Hold 4 → Exhale 4 → Hold 4.
Great for calming nerves before tests or meetings.
Gratitude Journaling

Helps shift focus from stress to positivity.
Stretch Breaks
Lead a 5-minute guided stretch in the morning or after lunch.
Releases physical tension and boosts energy.
