🎉 Congratulations to Our Staff Members of the Week! 🎉 sorry I couldn't just pick 2 because these staff members have gone way above and beyond this week !
🌟 Mrs. Nikki Morris – Mrs. Morris has gone above and beyond by stepping in to support our 5th-grade team wherever she is needed. From jumping in to teach with little to no preparation, supporting ELA instruction, covering recess, and helping prepare teams for the new reading curriculum, her positivity, flexibility, and willingness to help truly shine!
🌟 Ms. Andrea Love – Ms. Love has shown incredible adaptability and a willingness to jump right in wherever she is needed! Despite new challenges, schedule and caseload changes, and welcoming many new students, she continues to stay calm, positive, and ready to help in any way she can.
🌟 Mr. Chico Simmons – Mr. Simmons has been recognized for his positive attitude and willingness to step up whenever help is needed. Whether covering a 5th-grade classroom without hesitation or jumping in to support the team, Chico is always ready to lend a helping hand!
👏 Thank you all for going above and beyond for our students, staff, and school community. We appreciate you! 💙🦅 these 3 staff members will enjoy jeans all next week and Staff member VIP Parking ! I will grab your pictures next week friends - Love BEAN ❤️

Hi HES Families!
It's time to start getting ready for another amazing year at Hurlock Elementary! Our 2026–2027 School Supply List is here!
Just a reminder that clear backpacks and clear water bottles are part of our school expectations again this year. Great news—Hurlock Elementary will provide every student with a clear backpack and clear water bottle! Of course, if you'd like to purchase your own, that's perfectly fine. Colored options are welcome as long as they are clear/see-through.
If purchasing the remaining school supplies is a challenge, we're here to help! Simply let us know at our Back-to-School Event, and we'll make sure your child has what they need to start the year ready to grow.
Stay tuned—more details about our Back-to-School Event are coming soon! We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another year of Growing Greatness!
